Our good friend Hayley spent some time with The Medics a while back. I only just came across these pics they look amazing!

Confession, House Vs. Hurricane and The Amity Affliction have both recently announced tour dates for home soil. First off the list for what will surely be one of the highlights of the year is The Amity Affliction's launch tour. After finishing the recording of Youngbloods, their new, second album in New York last week with producer Machine, the band are back and plotting local domination. Orders for both the The Amity Affliction's new album 'Youngbloods' and launch tour tickets are on sale now, and moving fast from the band's website and myspace.

Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. Ian Curtis passed away thirty years ago today. Click here, have a listen and pay your respects to the songwriter and lyricist of one of the best bands of all time.

The rapid rise of Brisbane sextet The Amity Affliction is certainly taking Australia by surprise having recently hit the touring circuit multiple times on and off home soil, the tour-hardened group are ready to unveil their second offering. Already having given fans the first taste of their US recording sessions with super-producer Machine and announcing yet another tour in July with Misery Signals, Confession and Flood Of Red.

So the weekend just passed was pretty insane. The Skeg Krew road tripped it down to the ville and caused a whole load of ruckus at Groove In The Moo. I'm pretty busy with work and other things this week but keep your eyes peeled for a full blog post about our adventures!

Yves Klein Blue lead singer Michael Tomlinson, post-sticker slap. We told them a bit about what Skeg's about, and they took a card. Who else can we get to pose with Skeg cards? Or who else can we sticker slap?

To think I was on Myspace the other day ughh.. it's practically dead apart from the countless number of scene kids and the music pages for artists and bands. Which leads me to my current post, Deez Nuts is releasing a new album! In fact I just spent the last half hour watching behind the scenes videos of the recording of it  filmed by Hartleyphoto. Definitely worth checking out if your as keen as I am, the album drops in less than 23 days.

So House vs. Hurricane have just released their debut album Perspectives and I personally can’t stop listening to it! I’ve seen these boys come so far and I’m so proud of them. Stay tuned for a review very soon and if you haven’t already checked out their new album make sure you pick up a copy!

Featuring over 50 of the best international punk, hardcore, metal and rock bands that each scene has to offer, Soundwave 2010’s line-up is one of epic proportions! The alternative festival that tiptoed onto the scene a few short years ago kicked off its biggest year yet in Brisbane on a hot steamy summer day, without a doubt this festival will be the biggest event of the year for those who like to rock!

"Fuck yeah! Now I wanna see everyone in this pit jumpin! Ready? Let's go!” Going to gigs is one of the most exhilarating experiences a music loving 17 year old could have. My name is Ashley Briggs. I live in Townsville and I’ll be composing blogs for the music section of this website. I have a huge interest in music, film and the arts.
