Beggars Orchestra

Dramatic and captivating, dark and intriguing. Murder, love, betrayal, revenge are sonically morphed in an unforgettable theatrical rock performance. More than artists, the five members of Beggars Orchestra are story tellers. Blasting drums, rich keyboards, thunderous bass and screaming guitar cuts through as a souring, melodic voice begins to tell the tale. Chapter by chapter the orchestra weave their story with intricate musical detail, captivating onlookers with their intense, energetic performance.

Mortal Sin

Mortal Sin is a thrash metal band that formed in 1985. The group formed around singer Mat Maurer and drummer Wayne Campbell in Sydney, Australia. At first Campbell had attempted to get Maurer into another band called Wizzard but the rest of that band was reluctant to support the idea so the pair struck out on their own, quickly recruiting Wizzard's guitar Keith Krstin, bass player Andy Eftichiou from a band called Judge and a second guitarist Neville Reynolds. Reynolds was fired for not being available to play at the band's very first show and was replaced by Paul Carwana.

The Amenta

The Amenta are an Industrial Death Metal band from Australia. The Amenta is the hidden earth. Formed in a faltering new millenium - embodying a new age in extremism. A soundtrack to a modern age. The Amenta - an unrelenting fusion of distortion, experimentalism and ambience. A dark and disfigured installation of emotion. Confronting music for discerning minds. Mictlan - An elegy for the dead millenium. Four tracks mourning intellectual decay. Metaphors for dogma. Industrial noisescapes and brutal distortion. Unsettling ambience.

jack the stripper

Jack The Stripper is a hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia.
“Black Annis” is the first full-length work from these avant-noise merchants. Containing eight tracks with a central lyrical theme of nightmares and personal demons, this album is a harrowing blend of grind, chaotic hardcore, mosh metal and jazz fusion. Filled with rage and unsettling progressions that have been compared to early Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge, “Black Annis” captures the blood-spitting violent live spirit of the band in a highly creative, original and polished independent release.

The Fauves

1) Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1988, after 20 years, The Fauves, continue to be one of Australia's most unique bands. Although sonically nondescript, Fauves' song are typically wry, ironic, hyper-literate, biopsies of the broadest range of topics. Comprised of four school friends: Andrew Dyer, Adam Newey, Andrew Cox and Phil Leonard, the Fauves emerged from one of Melbourne's grittier suburbs, Frankston only to find major label support early in their career.

Stone Parade

The voicemail is simple "Just past the laundromat then turn left, you'll hear us when you get there". Alex is a man of few words. Inside a poorly lit factory, behind walls of guitars, old paintings and broken amps I find drummer Billy Handley hanging out his washing and cleaning up dirty dishes which have been left on the sink against his wishes. He's not a happy camper as his sign above the sink clearly states "Wash up your own stuff morons!" You see...
