LR Rockets

“Beginning like a rock concert on the Klangers planet, before surging into an amped up, wiry rebirth of the same demonic soul that drove Young Knives to wear Victorian casual wear and (probably) smoke pipes in the comfort of their red velvet coated den, But with a more muscular physique - keep the name on your lips, I have a feeling you’ll be using it more frequently in the near future!” Subba-Culture (single of the week)

The Fumes

1.) Compelling Sydney two-piece, The Fumes burst onto the scene in 2004. The Fumes deliver multi-facetted stylistic raw blues tunes mashed with healthy rock riffs and snappy beats. Steve Merry (Vocals, Guitar) spent 12 months in the U.S where he took on some mentoring from Bob Brozman and an opportunity to immerse himself with many styles of music. It helped define and develop The Fumes. The Fumes complete with the addition of Joel Battersby, who had been drumming with members of The Beautiful Girls, proceeded to churn out an 8-track demo.

Young Heretics

Young Heretics fell asleep in February 2011. Someone find a pokeflute, quick! Young Heretics are the brainchild of Melbourne based duo, Kitty Hart and Matthew Wright - eccentric twins, both with a love of warped pop music and sonic invention. The dual vocal attack incorporates theatrical soundscapes, driving beats and a massive selection of other instruments to create a dynamic and inventive sound unlike any Australian music created before it.
