THE CLOUDS – 30th Anniversary of Penny Century Australian Tour

THE CLOUDS – 30th Anniversary of Penny Century Australian Tour

THE CLOUDS were one of the brightest shining lights of the early 90s golden era of Australian Indie Music releasing some fine indie nuggets… at times dream pop, sometimes shoe gaze-y, every now and then guitar crunch, but always with a pop sensibility.

Reviewer Natasha Rachow

As I write this review, I cannot begin without acknowledging the determination and commitment of promoters for delivering this show to Australian shores.

FM – THIRTEEN
Released March 18th 2022

It is always a joy to get to hear a new FM album…….from the very first listen to that first FM record Indiscreet in 1986, having been a fan of Wildlife before then, and seeing them as the ultimate AOR support band over the next couple of years, including the epic Astoria show in 1987 with White Sister as the opening act.

Album Review : The Karma Effect

THE KARMA EFFECT
Released – 18th March 2022
TMR Rock Records

Debut albums are always really interesting to review, and while this one only has 8 songs on it, it delivers a solid punch.  Closer to home for me is that the band are from my home town of Oxted in the UK, and are launching the album at one of my early watering holes – where us cocky 16 year olds could always get served!
