They’re not identical, just, but they’re both full of 60’s inspired garage rock riffing, throat shredding screams that sound suspiciously similar to Nic Cester, singer of fellow Antipodeans Jet, if his hair was set on fire, and the most brain buggeringly simple drums since Seven Nation Army, except now there’s some slight variation in the form of a vaguely Foo Fighters-y [...]
Like any good American Indie Rocker, Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants “fame” has a side project. Like any good American Indie Rocker, his side project is mainly electronic and sounds nothing like his day job. Unlike most American Indie Rockers, this is a hell of a lot more than a vanity project. Sail is a swaggering, masterful piece of eclectic, grown up synth-pop, all filthy synth bass, live drum samples, ridiculously catchy keyboard hooks and a [...]
Formerly front man of cult Indie Folkers Port O’Brien, Van Pierszalowski helms this, the first single from his new band Waters, and if this is anything to go by, he might have stumbled across something truly great. Waters is a sumptuous mess of distorted guitars, loping drums and the kind of effortless but effervescent melodies not seen since the glory days of Dinosaur J.R and The Lemonheads, in fact, the sound is most reminiscent of Surfer Rosa era Pixies covering [...]

Italian band Sunday Recovery formed in 2009 when main composer Gianluca Cucchiara began collaborating with singer Mirko Petrini and guitar player Fabio Staffieri. The latter duo were later joined by drummer Fabio Testaferrata and bass player Emanuele Nazzaro. Once a tight unit, the quartet wasted no time in recording their debut album, and the epic, ambitious rock of “Coma” is the result.
Musically, the band pay close attention to songcraft whilst pushing boundaries [...]
