Intentions

There are at least three artists using this name: 1. A three-piece post-hardcore band from Sydney, Australia, formed in mid-2008, taking inspiration from Fugazi, Gang Of Four, Ohana, To The North and Steve Reich. They are three people living in Sydney who argue amongst themselves about what genre they are (indie punk?), but who also make music that is angular, unadorned, catchy, contemplative and incisive. Various perspectives on Intentions' music: "a great raw mix of emotional uncertainty, loose math-rock rhythms and a whirlwind of furious energy... brilliant stuff"

Halal, How Are You?

Dirty garage pop music. Sounds like Big Star on Mescaline…The Birthday Party playing a set of Undertones covers. They also once played with No Age, it was rad.
Halal, How Are You? are Sydney’s answer to garage party music, where everyone can get together and rub sweat on each other whilst dancing to some real great music.
