Greenthief are embarking on their third east coast tour of 2011 in support of their new film clip for Vultures.
Greenthief is a 3-piece alternative rock band hailing from Brisbane and only 3 years young, the band have not wasted any time spreading their word and music up and down the East coast of Australia crashing the indie scene with a unique blend of psychedelic rock. Through constantly playing live shows, the band has broken sound barriers and state lines while enchanting audiences with a sound akin to a lovechild of Jeff Buckley and Trent Reznor. In early 2011, Greenthief went into world renowned Rockinghorse Studio (Byron Bay) and recorded their brand spanking new EP with aria winning British producer Steve James (Sex Pistols, The Jam). The EP was mastered by Tim Young of the Metropolis Mastering Group (Bjork, Placebo). |

  – Redcoats – EP – Redcoats |
Picture yourself wandering through the forest at night, hearing everything go bump and constantly looking over your shoulder. Now, imagine this feeling in the form of an EP.
Melbourne progressive metal artists Redcoats’ self-titled first release epitomises that dark and frantic sense of desperation, as you glance backwards while walking alone after midnight. If you are familiar with their first single ‘Dreamshaker,’ the Redcoats’ four additional tracks emulate this one song, with the same warnings to remain cautious and afraid. A frenzied voice advises us to be careful of the Dreamshaker, that he is not all he seems. The moral |
of the story could very well be that things are rarely as they first appear, and to beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Continue reading Redcoats – Redcoats | EP Review

I have to admit, I had kind of forgotten about Unwritten Law for awhile now but when I heard they were remastering Blue Room, their debut released in 1994, I was pretty stoked (no offence but the original sound quality-wise was a tad shocking), it was a great album! For those who haven’t listened to Blue Room, and are familiar with Unwritten Law’s newer stuff, post-2002, then listen to this! It is completely different, but Blue Room showcases the band at their best and in their early days with their 90s punk rock sound.

Breathe Carolina’s third full length album, Hell Is What You Make It is great for when you want to dance, but can’t quite bring yourself to listen to full on pop or dance anthem tracks…and you still require that bit of ‘rock’ in your music.
Breathe Carolina is an assemblage of power duo Kyle Even and David Schmitt hailing from Denver, and their styles and choices definitely create a bipolar sound. Combining an electro pop sound with synthesizers and screamo/crunk-core, mixed with ‘traditional’ rock guitars and drums, Breathe Carolina certainly is interesting to listen to. Personally, I think it’s fantastic!
