Currently in the recording studio working on their follow-up to 2009's The Peaceful Atom Is A Bomb, Sydney's Regular John are no strangers to most of our record players and/or iPods.

On Friday October 14th, Regular John takes the stage at Double Dragon IV: a night of unrelenting musical mayhem, at Sydney’s iconic indie hang, Q-Bar.

Crafted by skilful hands of Chocolate Jesus industries, the night is set to rock, shake and pummel punters with acts such as Mother & Son, Kiru Puru & The Bruise, Kill City Creeps, plus loads more bands and DJs.

Leeds hardcore 4-piece, Pulled Apart By Horses, are thrilled to announce supports for their Sydney and Melbourne shows this Marcc.
Sydney psych-punk rockers, Regular John, are on board for the Annandale show on March 10, while Melbournians can look forward to local trio, Dozers, and crowd-pleasers (and viking-metal Gods) Barbarion, at the Tote, March 11.

Finding it a handy way to catch the vast majority of bands who took over Sydney Olympic Park for Big Day Out in 2010, I once again decided to venture out to the festival grounds for the two consecutive days of the 2011 event. Having seen such a ridiculous amount of amazing music over this period I've decided to break this review down by the eight main stages. But before we get started, let's give a bit of an overview...

In 2009, Regular John exploded on to the Australian music scene with the release of their debut album ‘The Peaceful Atom Is A Bomb’. Having already created a ground swell with fans on the Sydney circuit, it wasn’t long before the band caught the attention of the nation’s industry heavy weights.
