After spending the Australian summer in the chill of the northern hemisphere, Sydney based multi-instrumentalist Matt James returned home with a vision to establish a musical collective entitled The Invincible Summer, inspired by French author Albert Camus’ quote which he saw scrawled on the side of his Darlinghurst hall upon his return to Australia.
Runaway is the debut single from the forthcoming self-titled debut LP, due in store early 2013.

The rumours are true, Fear Factory are confirmed to tour Australia this September! Armed with their latest album The Industrialist, a new chapter in Fear Factory’s career of ideas and extremes, it’s the Fear Factory machine at its most confident and passionate, bringing every sonic weapon in its arsenal to the fore.
The shadow of the Los Angeles born band has loomed large, writing the book of industrial metal that has gone on to influence the likes of Rammstein and inform such stalwart noisemongers as Ministry. Fear Factory also merged the idea of melodic vocals erupting from death metal screaming long before it became modern metal’s de-riguer. Over the course of a many storied career that’s seen the success of five critically acclaimed albums plus a remix ep and album, Fear Factory has had a career of creative and commercial success, selling over three million records worldwide: they’ve also been plagued by bitter infighting and have emerged from it all in 2012 with a new alloy of aggression.

Since their 2000 debut album ‘Hybrid Theory’, LINKIN PARK have spent the last 12 years doing something popular artists just don’t do: going off-menu.
The learning curve was arduous, but a necessary and welcome challenge for the band. ‘Hybrid Theory’ isn’t just the title of the first album, but a career mission statement. From day one, LINKIN PARK built the band upon the premise of fusing all of their favourite styles of music—as disparate as they might be—into one signature sound.

Already a favourite amongst their peers and underground fans, IN HEARTS WAKE have already done a remarkable job of following in the footsteps of Byron Bay’s hardcore legends, Parkway Drive. They have spent the last few years releasing a slew of EPs and a split record with The Bride, whilst touring through regional and capital cities. It is through their hard working ethic that the band has become one of the most loved artists within the hardcore community.
IN HEARTS WAKE will be unleashing their brilliant live show on the ENTER SHIKARI tour this September.
“Inspired by Beth’s song and feeling this film needed to be pushed into an unexpected, new, mysterious and exhilarating place, we took a trip to the high altitude desert of the great Colorado sand dunes,” the directors explained. “A trip of trust, a trip into the unknown, heat strokes, hallucinations and magic.”

After what in the end was a rather messy departure from The Butterfly Effect, Clint Boge hasn’t missed a beat moving straight into solo mode for a national tour. Friday night’s stop was at the rustic Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne.
Opening for the night was local heavy rock band Bellusira, swapping out their normal distortion in favour of acoustic guitars for their set. Vocalist Crystal Ignite’s powerful voice was on full display, standing out even more without the full band behind her. Their short set furthered her case for being Melbourne’s best female vocalist and was a great way to start the night.
