The Shape of Punk to Come
Legendary Welshman Dylan Thomas wrote in the poem Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night that one must "rage, rage against the dying of the light".
If the definition of ‘rage' is shaking your skinny fists in the face of this impending darkness and screaming your lungs out over searing riffs and pummeling drum beats, then Refused's 1998 release The Shape Of Punk To Come did just that.
Eddy Current Suppression Ring
Eddy Current are the finest garage band to come out of Melbourne in years. People have been talking them up pretty seriously in the last six months and it's with good reason. After independently releasing a few seven inch singles, one with Melbourne Hardcore masters Straightjacket Nation, Eddy Current have now released a full album on Dropkick Records.
Cancer
My Disco's Cancer is a raw and elemental debut which, true to their goal, has captured the essence of their live sound.
What is most apparent when listening to the record is the intellectual process behind it. This by no means implies pretence, in fact, exactly the opposite. Theirs is a sound that resonates a philosophy and not just a fad, a complete musical commitment driven by logic and structures that even an A-grade debater would find near impossible to undermine.
Boa Vs Python
Definition: To test an icicle. Primitive men used to test icicles to ensure their sturdiness prior to using them as a stabbing weapon. (source: theurbandictionary.com)
Test Icicle sound like everything, all at once, with little left out. With divergent backgrounds in hardcore, metal, hardcore metal, and hip-hop there is no compromise, no faffing, just a swampy mass of influences frothing and bubbling until it sounds nothing like its composite parts.
