Music Recommendations Week 20/06/2005

Funeral For A Friend - Hours
UK's Funeral For A Friend are back with an album that is less "scream-o", more melodic and the most diverse release yet. Its intense, solid and just a great punk rock album. From the fast, upbeat tracks like End Of Nothing to the beautiful, electonic-esque ballad, Sonny (both for download); they're definitely one of the top bands to look forward to in the up-coming Taste of Chaos tour on October 23rd at Adelaide Entertainment Centre (tickets on sale now from BASS Ticketing at $64.60).

Featured "past" music recommendation:

After The Fall - After The Fall [2004]
Sydney's After The Fall are one of my favourite pop punk / melodic rock local acts from first catching them as the support act on the Antiskeptic tour in 2002. Their debut album released last year was a strong debut effort and includes the infectious hit singles, Sunshine Showers and Mirror Mirror (both for download) and also a song that I loved, which was in their debut release EP, Three Quater Binding (also for download) that made it into their album. Catch this great band in Adelaide on July 8th at Enigma Bar (tickets on sale now from Big Star Records or Venuetix at $16.30) with fellow catchy pop punk-ers, Kisschasy and The Open Season.
