This Saturday at the Black Box is No No Fest. If you`ve been to any of the recent gigs in Namba you`ve probably meet Kerley, the mastermind behind No No Records. He`s super active, with a real butt ton of shows and releases coming up. No No Fest is a showcase of the stuff he`s been working on. Its a bunch of bands but @trashvideoarchives is showng some movies aswell. We pinned him down to ask some questions. Hit the Bad Habit blog to read and get tickets.
5 Lps with Minimal text on the front cover. And a tape.
New @blindgirlss lp is here. Gold Coast screamo. It`s been a joy watching this band go from strength to strength and conquer the world. I don`t really need to spruik this record. You already know if you need it because you`ve seen them destroy stages and floor shows.
New @diploidnoise tape plus their 4 lps. Awkward and intense grindcore made by outsiders. Really, one of the best Australian bands.
These are online and instore now.
Record of the week alert
Hog - True Romance 7" on Shipping Steel Records.
"Hardcore Kids" playing "Dirty Rock n Roll" can go two ways. It sucks because the people playing it aren`t raw dog idiots who`ve set off the fire hose and been kicked out of numerous shows for beer theft and general punisher antics. They navigate social hierarchies with an eye of climbing some ladder made of dicks.
Or it rules because the people playing it are fucking idiots who continually sabotage their life by ruining everything around them. And they play music with the swagger and loose agressionn of someone who has failure in their DNA.
This record feels like the later. It has that punk aggression that`s about to fall apart cause they are playing like real maniacs of rock.
Like the best bands to play this style, Annihilation Time / Lecherous Gaze even Moterhead or maybe closer to Tank or Power etc.
They are from New Zealand. That mysterious land to the south of Australia, or maybe its east? Nobody knows.
Get it instore or on the webstore.
