Stop the press! Press Club release their debut album, Late Teens, tomorrow!

Press Club: On Brunswick’s Gentrification & Being “Truly Independent”

Written by Rachael Bell on 13 March 2018

Defined by their music and uncompromising in their honesty, Melbourne outfit Press Club will rock your socks off, literally. Their sound is frenetic, raw, fierce – and yet within the volatility of their genre, the music Press Club have developed remains paradoxically refined and considered. This is more impressive for a band that has only been [...]

Camp Cope – ‘How To Socialise & Make Friends’

Written by Mick Radojkovic on 1 March 2018

In 2016, a three-piece from Melbourne released an album that was to be the catalyst for change.

Q&A

Mumbofish: On Fish Assholes, Obnoxious Homeless Fans & Slomo

Written by Band Submission on 18 December 2017

Answered by: Ben Role: Guitar/vocals Where did the band name come from? The band was named after my goldfish, Mumbo. We wouldn’t have even thought to name the band after him until he died, but the timing was really uncanny. After the autopsy, the coroner’s report read the time of death that was the exact [...]

Ride For Rain: On Murder, Big Macs & Japan’s Punk Craze

Written by Band Submission on 8 December 2017

Tell us about how Ride For Rain began? Me and Goran have been writing and playing music together since high school, pretty much just trying to play as fast we could and sing in key. There’s an album under the name No-Hablo probably still floating around the internet. That was around 2012. After that, we [...]
