“I Just Want To Stay Excited”: An Interview with the Goon Sax
By Hayley Scott. “I want people to think about me”, sings a wistful Louis Forster on the title track of The Goon Sax’s candidly self-deprecating LP, Up To Anything. The album deals in subjects that pertain to certain kind of world-weary adolescence that’s never cynical nor maudlin. Instead, it’s presented with a wide-eyed excitement that […]

The Goon Sax – Up To Anything (Chapter Music)
By Nick Kennedy “I want people to think about me” admits Louis Forster on the opening track of The Goon Sax’s exquisitely understated debut album Up To Anything.

Last Thursday was a bit of a sad day for the Brisbane music scene. Firstly Collapse Board favourites, The Goon Sax announced that rather than head out to tour with Interpol and then do some shows opening for Pavement, they were instead going to break up. They’ve said there’ll be some final Australian dates before […]
Song of The Day #761: U.S. Girls
Here’s something else from Bills & Aches & Blues, the forthcoming 4AD tribute album to belatedly celebrate the label’s 40th birthday inn 2020. 4AD is a completely different label to what it was but it still has some great acts. Back in the day, thanks to Vaughn Oliver’s designs, 4AD records were instantly recognisable; you […]
SOTD #753: Soot
Given it’s the middle of the month, is it still ok to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Well, Happy New Year anyway. New Year, new you (maybe). Same old Collapse Board (probably). We hope to be doing more of the same that we’ve been doing for almost the last eight and a half years. […]
