Rich Webb

Rich Webb: "Thumping wired alternative rock one minute,
the tenderest urban ballad the next..." Melbourne singer-songwriter Rich Webb goes Overboard. Rolling Stone likens it to Nick Cave, Dylan, Kim Salmon, and Matthew Sweet. "Overboard is thumping wired alternative rock one minute, the tenderest urban ballad the next. It's an alarmingly inspired concoction, held together by Webb's voice that howls and shimmies like a dust storm from the Mallee desert." Fruition.

The Day Everything Became Nothing

The Day Everything Became Nothing is a Goregrind band from Melbourne, Australia. Formed in Melbourne in 2002, The Day Everything Became Nothing continues to deliver extreme percussive grind that is characterised by its dirty, muddy sound. The band's name is derived from the EP of the same name by Canadian punk rock band NoMeansNo. The remarkably guttural vocals, by aid of a pitch-shifting Whammy pedal, are done by Tony Forde, of Blood Duster notoriety, but the band originally featured Kody Abrams.
