Track: They’re no ‘Quiet Australians’ – Lutruwita’s Meres unveil hyperactive new single ahead of album release.
Post punk rock boppers from down under, Meres, have been relatively quiet – understandable given front person Mary Shannon has also been active in the shoegaze giants Dvrkworld – but in a surprise return, they are back with the somewhat ironically titled single ‘Quiet Australians’. Meres have always been an exuberant entity featuring a punky …

Second Idol’s Single Launch Is a Love Letter to Loud Guitars and Big Feelings
Album Review: Brisbane’s Tape/Off unveil a magnum opus in the epic new album ‘Fort Sensible’ ahead of national tour.
Listening to the new album by Tape/Off is like journeying across the wide open landscapes of Australia where the scenery dramatically changes and yet remains breathtaking and stunning throughout.

Live Review & Gallery: Shame Revel In Punk Devotion, Giving Australia Stage Dive Sermons – Metro Theatre, Eora Land/Sydney, 04.03.25
I’d heard along the grapevine that Shame’s set at Yours and Owls Festival was the one to catch, best of the weekend, unfiltered punk energy carrying the day forward ahead of headliners Fontaines D.C. Naturally, expectations were sky-high as I navigated the winding corridors of Metro Theatre and slipped into the cavern that is Metro …
Live Review: Chalk & Makeshift Art Bar @ Band on the Wall, Manchester 28.02.2025
It’s got to be said, February has been pretty dreary. But tonight in Manchester, the line up at Band on the Wall is worth dragging yourself out for. We have an Irish double header, one well known, one not so. The sold out show put on through local promoters Now Wave has all the makings …
Track: Call the ‘Deviant Hotline’ – it’s Low Monroe with a deliciously dark and visceral track, with launch date announced.
Low Monroe – the nom de plume of multi-instrumentalist and producer Mark Sergi – has just released a deliciously dark slice of gothic fuzz in the form of ‘Deviant Hotline’. With reverb-soaked, scything guitars and a rhythm section that prowls like a ravenous wolf, the track has a late night/early morning sleazy nightclub vibe filled …
