Songs are a Sydney based band (featuring members of New Zealand’s post-punk wailers This Night Creeps and Ela Stiles of sisterly-duo The Said Sos) that do only simple things. From their single-syllable handle to their hand-drawn artwork to their music itself; it all has to be simple. Their debut LP makes a smooth transition from [...]
DEEP INSIDE
Some gems for you here. All very highly recommended.
You probably would have heard this one before out on some big speakers. Skatt Bros cult classic ‘Walk The Night’ was, and still is, a dance floor bomb.
MP3: Skatt Bros – Walk The Night (12” Single)
Finally got around to picking up the latest RVNG of the [...]
R.S.H.
Well, to be honest this is no real surprise but it is still a sad moment for Australian music. Rowland S. Howard (Boys Next Door, Birthday Party, and his much revered solo work) passed away this Wednesday due to cancer. Its no real secret the man was sick; at his last show in Melbourne he [...]

LOOKOUT
Love of Diagrams, Melbourne, have just released their third album, Nowhere Forever, and it is amazing. Coming from a band thats roots lie in the sounds of NY No Wave and UK Post Punk, that band has taken these sounds and grown and developed them, fusing more recently with 80’s/90’s Shoegaze and Dream-Pop, to create [...]
DRE▲M-P◉P
I sift through alot of music so its really exciting when something just instantly grabs you, and you get that feeling like this could be a band that is going to be popping up alot more in the next year or so. The Isolation are just that. The Swedish band are a bit of a [...]
RATIO
Flying Saucer Attack were formed in Bristol, England in 1992. David Pearce was the core member of the group, and Rachel Brook (of Movietone, another Bristol band) was a member for most of the band’s lifetime.
The band were marked by quiet vocals and sheets of feedback with similarities to contemporary shoegazing bands, or The Jesus [...]
NOT-POP
The Pop Group was a post-punk band from Bristol, England whose dissonant sound spanned punk, free jazz, funk and dub reggae. Formed in 1978 by Mark Stewart (lyrics, vocals), John Waddington (guitar), Gareth Sager (guitar), Simon Underwood (bass) and Bruce Smith (drums, percussion), they issued their debut single, “She is Beyond Good and Evil” on [...]
JAMES MURPHY & SPEED...
During the mid-’90s, the short-lived Speedking released four nearly impossible-to-find 7″s, toured with Six Finger Satellite (The Juan Maclean’s previous outfit) and June of 44, and quickly disbanded. But the 2002 release of The Fist and the Laurels, a two-disc anthology including the New York City band’s previously unreleased full-length as well as their 7″ [...]
SONG OF THE DAY
Time for another Song Of The Day. I was going to include a track off the new Passion Pit album because Ive been digging that recently, but its just too sugary and I know I’ll just be completely sick of it in two weeks time, like MGMT.
So on with the time tested goodness.
In the burgeoning [...]
THE SEA
The Horrors. I dont know. I loved ‘Sheena Was A Parasite’ (and the mind splitting video by Chris Cunningham) but I never really bought into the hype, or admittedly really gave their first album a proper listen. So it was such a surprise when I had a flick through their new offering, Primary Colours, to [...]
THE LINES
Recently Ive found myself looking back more than forward for quality music, as there are a plethora of hidden gems out there. The Lines for instance are one. Their music coexisted between contemporaries Wire, Joy Division, The Feelies or Mission of Burma.
Although they played shows with bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, The Sound and Birthday [...]
BE FIRE
Its been rather quiet around the Waves camp recently. Sorry about that guys.
First up is a new track that Ive only just been allowed to post. Oh Mercy are a band sitting comfortably amongst the new up-and-coming crop of Melbourne artists starting to make a name for themselves including The Harpoons, Little Red, Seagull, Touch [...]
BRING THE NOISE
Hi wavers, i forgot to introduce myself last post and now it looks like JD beat me to the punch anyway. I’m Gold Lion and I’ll try my best to bring some waves that crash a little different on these here shores.
Starting now!
Been digging some noisy lo-fi electronic post-punk/art rock for the last few days [...]
TST
TST. No, I dont know what it stands for. Doesnt really matter. These guys make some dark, energetic, indie post-punk. There has been so much good music coming out Melbourne lately that I feel I barely have to look anywhere else but down the road to find it. If you dig these guys, just wait [...]
