You’ve been waiting six years for this. We have too. We’re not going to waste your time with words. Word’s aren’t rock and roll. Let’s let the music speak for itself. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the long awaited new single from Queens of the Stone Age. On and that’s the new album artwork above….

20 years ago, a group of young men entered a recording studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota to record what would be their debut album. That album, Sound As Ever, was the start of a long and successful career by one of Australia’s most loved rock and roll bands, You Am I. Two decades later, You…

The John Curtin band room is as dark as I have ever seen it. It suited perfectly for some dark chord crunching bands to fill the room with their insanely doomy music. Any god-fearing music lover – is there such a thing? – would turn away at the door if they had no idea what…

Mainstream radio has served the Irish lads from The Script very well in recent years and in turn they have often visited Australian shores to perform; this time with another step up in the capacity stakes playing at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

The Heath Care system in the US a bit of a mess to say the least. Over 8,000 working musicians live in Austin, Texas, most of whom don’t earn nearly enough to support themselves with private health insurance.

Larry sat down with MUTEMATH at the end of their Australian tour to talk about their experiences here, road testing new songs in Perth, their new recording studio, plans for the next album, playing in Singapore, the New Orleans rock scene, the genius of tourmates Big Scary and much more…

The structure of “support-support-headliner” is a common one, so it’s rare for it to produce a well-balanced line up. But Steve Smyth, Gung Ho, and headliners Deap Vally are each as talented as they are stylistically diverse; making their recent show at Oxford Art Factory an unusual delight.

If you’ve been anywhere near a radio or TV in the last couple of months you would have no doubt heard a catchy tune with an infectious shout along chorus about a certain John Wayne. If, like me, you’ve had that delicious track stuck in your head since the moment you heard it and have…

One of the busier men at SXSW’s Film Festival this year was director PJ Raval, who was premiering his documentary Before You Know It and had his music video for Christeene (the drag persona of Austin artist Paul Soileau) “African Mayonnaise” in competition. He kindly took some time out of his busy schedule to talk…

And just like that we’d once again come to the end of the Byron Bay Bluesfest. As the event’s fifth day, it’s fair to say that by now we were both exhausted and used to the exciting lifestyle that the festival offers. It’s never an easy event to say goodbye to, especially after a year…
