Song of the Day #775: Guppy
Screengrab image via Blend42 Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention. One of my biggest regrets as far as the Brisbane music scene goes is that I never got to see Go Violets. I was forever writing their shows in my diary and missing them never mattered until they went […]

The Friday Afternoon Playlist, 14.02.2014
BITCHRATCH – Male Eruption Even living in a small city like Brisbane it’s difficult to keep up to date with everything that’s going on and depressingly easy to completely miss amazing bands. A friend posted this on Facebook last night and in the last 12 hours they’ve possibly become my favourite new Brisbane band. Bitchratch’s […]
