ROYAL HEADACHE


Great band from Sydney Australia. Royal Headache have been playing for a little over a year now and have just released their first 7" (R.I.P Society Records). They seem to get labeled with punk rock soul or some shit but they remind me more of a "garagey" Descendants. Awesome live band too! 4 songs in total. My favourite being Splash!

KITCHENS FLOOR


Kitchens Floor are a band from Queensland Australia and fucking rule. This is their first self titled long out of print EP from 2008. At this point they were still a two piece, shitty nylon string guitar and a drummer with a cooking pot as a tom. Five awesome striped back catchy pop songs. They are now a 3 piece and have released a full length and 7" on Sydneys awesome R.I.P Society Records. Fans of Psychedelic Horseshit,Pink Reason and simple pop songs will dig this.

ELECTRIC BUNNIES


One of last years best releases. Florida is Dying has been putting out some pretty awesome shit but this one takes the cake. Amazing gate fold LP that folds out to become a ridiculous board game. Lots of different styles and variations in songs but they some how all sit really well together as a whole album.

BEST COAST


Killer fucked up sounding reverby "60's girl group" style beach pop songs. That is the most retarded description of a band i have ever written! No wonder i stopped posting! Anyways,here are a few tracks 2 from the Black Iris digital 7" and 2 acoustic tracks from the "levis - live in the bathroom thing?"

THE MANTLES


I don't know much about these guys other than they are another awesome band from San Francisco. Fuzzy/Poppy/Psych not too far removed from the Fresh & Onlys and in saying that even slightly similar to The Chills or The Clean. Who cares. I hate the "sounds like" game.Have a listen for yourself. Buy it from MT.ST.MTN.

WHORES


Whores are a three piece shitty noisiey/ garage / punk rock band from Sydney Australia. This was recorded on a four track in their lounge room & was being released on tape sometime in the last 6 months. Last time i saw them play they tore it up in a 10 - 15 minute set as their guitarist was late to the gig and was tripping out of his mind on acid. Awesome.
