Justin Edwards: That Smith Street Band song is getting plenty of column inches but I don’t think anyone’s pointed out that the title is the best thing about it. Instead here’s the new Gooch Palms. https://soundcloud.com/thesmithstreetband/wipe-that-shit-eating-grin-off-your-punchable-face#c=43&t=0:00 Jodi Biddle: Now now. The sleeve art is also gold. Bianca Rosemarie de Valentino: Love the Goochies!!! They’re moving […]
Cloud Nothings @ Electric Ballroom, London, 01.12.2014
London is a much changed city from the one I left in 2004 for a one year stay in Australia that, out of nowhere, has turned into a full decade. So many of the venues and pubs have gone – from the Intrepid Fox to Bull & Gate to the never-ending Tottenham Court Road redevelopment […]
In Words: Violent Soho @ Mansfield Tavern, 07.11.2014
Driving the 15 minutes across Brisbane’s southern bible belt, from Salisbury where there are probably as many churches as shops, past Hillsong’s base in Mt Gravatt to Mansfield, Brisbane’s infamous religious heartland and the home of Violent Soho, it strikes that in over 10 years in Australia, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a […]

In Words: Courtney Barnett + D.D Dumbo + Mosman Alder @ The Zoo, 11.10. 2014
There was life before Kate Bush and there is life after Kate Bush. The live shows I’ve been to in the last couple of months just haven’t do it for me and it’s all La Bush’s fault for putting on the greatest show ever. Some words have been written about those few August days in […]
No one sent us the new Taylor Swift album to review
So no one sent us the new Taylor Swift album to review. It’s a shame as we would have done our best to buck the trend and not have another review written by a male reviewer. Spot the difference: NME’s review of Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ by Matthew Horton Rolling Stone’s review of Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ by […]
