In An Unguarded Moment...

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted June, 6th 2008

If you loved The Church (who didn't), then you will enjoy this. Three Australian bands, Dead Letter Chorus, Wagons and Ned Collette Band have teamed together to cover "Unguarded Moment", a truly great moment in Australian music.

Psychedelic Horseshit

From The Daily Growl, Posted June, 6th 2008

Over the past year or so I seem to have come across loads of great bands with bad names. You?ve got to overcome your initial prejudice through appreciating the music. With Psychedelic Horseshit it?s the other way around. You hope that the band?s music is really as good as their name.The answer is a qualified yes.

Shearwater: Rook

From Speed of Dark, Posted June, 6th 2008

Shearwater with Jonathan Meiburg, centerWell, I was going to write a review of Death Cab's Narrow Stairs, and I may still do it, but I got distracted by the release of Shearwater's Rook, which I have found much more unique and compelling.Jonathan Meiburg, the central force and vocalist of Shearwater, has one of the most incredible voices in current rock. The range and delicacy of his falsetto has an ethereal quality that is mesmerizing, and he has gathered around...

We're...
