Malcolm.

[Higgs]

Rage are doing a Malcolm Young tribute night. I've been stuck on the couch here for the past 90 minutes and I can't see myself going anywhere anytime soon.

I didn't know it was George Young's idea to have the bagpipes in Long Way to the Top. Fucking genius.

Woot!

How To Socialise & Make Friends, 2nd March 2018 via Poison City Records and Run For Cover Records

[Birds in Hell]

Heard this banger on the radio today:

[run2death]

The new Camp Cope single is stellar.

Really looking forward to the new album.

[run2death]

Fuck yeah! Full album available for DL on Bandcamp.

G Maq's voice is really special.

I guess it's how earnest her voice sounds even when she's saying something kinda flippant.

[Higgs]

Fuck yeah! Full album available for DL on Bandcamp.

The Power of my Lucky Jocks
I was a bit concerned about today as I have a lot of things going on, so I specially put on my lucky jocks this morning. I get to the office to see this post. Boo-yah!

Then I log on to buy it and discover I have a $15 Paypal balance that I had totally forgotten about.

Never underestimate the power of the lucky jocks, peoples.

Favorite tracks: The Face of God, UFO Lighter, The Omen, I've Got You

Not sure about the full-band version of Anna. It's good, but the solo version is mesmerizing.

[LoathedVermin72]

So, so good.

Oh man this is fucking great

Two more fucking months until I finally get to see Camp Cope live.

[Higgs]

Dan Sultan with Camp Cope

[run2death]

Finally! Camp Cope tomorrow night!

[Higgs]

You go guy! Hope you enjoy it immensely.

[run2death]

They were fucking awesome. Lost and Keep Growing were the highlights for me. They played for about an hour and 10 minutes.

I don't really understand how Georgia can belt out songs like that night after night without frying her vocal cords.

This hits me right in the sweet spot. Melbourne band RVG - Quality of Mercy

[Higgs]

Delta Riggs releasing a new single tomorrow and new album to follow. I quite like these guys. Here's the single "Fake That".


Summery and a fair bit of pop. Fine by me.

[Fuzzcharger]

I've always enjoyed Delta Riggs when I've seen them live. Camp Cope are a bit meh. There's nothing particularly interesting or innovative about that sound in 2018. or 2017. or even 2011.

I love Camp Cope, but I don't think I'm after anything particularly innovative or "new" sound-wise from them. Not sure what the year has to do with anything as far as music goes either. I get it (sort of, I guess) for techno, or EDM, or perhaps even hip hop, but straight ahead rock? What would you expect to change from 2011 to now?

I understand what you mean as far as Camp Cope being fairly straightforward and not particularly edgy or anything. For me though that's fine. They wear their heart on their sleeve, have a satisfying degree of earnestness, and give it their all.
