Triple J: Feature Album Of The Week

The Panics - Sleeps Like A Curse


Five-piece Perth band, The Panics, are back with a third full-length album, Sleeps Like A Curse, which was live recorded in Sydney, Australia. The album has a great dose of that live guitar sound that Australian rock is proud off and the release of this record also launches a headlined national Australian tour starting in Canberra on August 10th. The band will be in Adelaide on Friday, August 26th at the Adelaide University Bar with special guests Pilate from Canada.

Starting this Friday, you get to hear all the tracks from the album at various times for 1 week on Triple J, which you can listen to live online here.

The album will be released on Sunday, August 7th.

Official Website

New.Track.Mixes.

Updated the five track mixes (side bar) with five tracks to dance to:

Panic! At The Disco - Relax Relapse (Demo) (5.3MB), from 2005's Fueled By Ramen Summer Mix. One of my favourite unsigned bands from last year (but now taken under the wing by Fueled By Ramen Records), these kids may sound like an emo version of The Killers but even catchier disco/dance rock. Their debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, comes out on September 27th (through Decaydance Records) and is possibly the debut record of the year. Via PureVolume.

Bit By Bats - All Night (1.5MB), from 2005's Let's Go Romeo EP. Adelaide band, now based in Melbourne. More catchy dance rock from one of my favourite EPs this year. Don't forget, they're playing at Jive with local bands, Pharaohs and La Femme La Fever, on Saturday night, August 27th. Tickets at the door, 8pm. Via their official website.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth (4MB), from 2005's Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Definitely the catchiest song on the album and my personal favourite track. Too goddamn dance-able.

Anberlin - The Undeveloped Story (2.4MB), from 2003's Blueprints For The Black Market. Catchiest song from their debut album. More importantly, why did they get rid of the cowbells?

Boys Night Out - Medicating (4.6MB), from 2005's Trainwreck. Listening to this album a lot and can't seem to get the hand claps of this song out of my head. More hand claps, please! Via Ferret Records.

So, go have a dance party!

Hurrah! :D

I'm having some hiccups with my mp3 hosting. Will look into this ASAP so the music recommendations posted with my own mp3 links aren't activated yet. Hopefully won't be long.

Music Recommendations Week 25/07/2005

Acceptance - Phantoms
Their major full-length debut from Columbia Records, Acceptance have come a long way since their signing to indie label, Militia Group. Phantoms is gorgeous pop rock; reminds me of old Something Corporate (the piano riffs have reminiscence to Leaving Through The Window) with one of the best male vocals around. Their single, Different, is on high radio rotation in the US but is probably one of the weaker tracks compared to others in the album. With the catchy, strong opener Take Cover (available for download below), cutting to the beautiful ballad, So Contagious and the more up-beat track, In Too Far (download below); the record starts off strong and finishes off strong. One of my favourite pop records in a long time.
Official Website
Download Track #1: Take Cover (2MB).
Download Track #3: In Too Far (2.1MB).
Download Track #11: Permanent (3.1MB) via PureVolume.


Boys Night Out - Trainwreck
The follow-up to their 2003 release, Make Yourself Sick, Boys Night Out are now a six-piece (which includes new female member, Kara Dupuy on synths and vocals) and their new album, Trainwreck is no more of that "scream-o", one-guitar sound but more of the catchy pop-punk rock approach as can be heard on their new single, Medicating (you can download the single here and check out the video for that song here [Quicktime Video]). It's catchy pop-punk with both male and female vocals and a lot of hand-claps so that all sounds good to me.
Official Website
Download Track #5: Medicating (4.6MB)*.
Download Track #9: Composing (5.1MB)*.
*Via Ferret Records.


The National - Alligator
One of my favourite finds from InSound. When I finally got the album, Alligator, it was 13 strong tracks from their third release from the beautiful ballad, Baby We'll Be Fine, to the single All The Wine (available for download below) and the amazing closer, Mr. November. It's Bowie-esque vocals for Interpol fans.
Official Website
Download Track #9: All The Wine (3.9MB) via InSound.


Feist - Let It Die
Leslie Feist is one of coolest female singers right now. Hailing from Canada, her album, Let It Die, is finally getting noticed and who could ignore the cool sounds and sweet vocals especially with the folky opening tracks, Gatekeeper and the popular single, Mushaboom (even Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst agrees and covers it here via Brooklyn Vegan), and the soulful dance / jazz number, Inside And Out. For more Feist, go check out her awesome official website.
Official Website
Download Track #2: Mushaboom (2.6MB).
Download Track #10: Inside And Out (3MB).

MxPx / Motion City Soundtrack tour NOT coming to Adelaide

I just wanted to say how messed up that is. Considering they're playing TWO shows in Perth and another TWO in Melbourne.

That is all.

New.Track.Mixes.

Updated the five track mixes (side bar) with four tracks:

The Junior Varsity - Mad For Medusa (3.6MB), from 2005's Wide-Eyed. One of the newer bands on Victory Records, one of the better releases from that label this year. Via PureVolume.

Koufax - Why Bother At All (3MB), from 2005's up-coming Hard Times Are In Fashion. Possibly, the best indie pop record of the year. Via Toolshed Media.

Cursive - A Disruption In The Normal Swing Of Things (2.7MB), from 2005's up-coming The Difference Between Houses And Homes. To me, the best band on Saddle Creek Records. Via Toolshed Media.

Head Of Femur - Elliott Gould Is In California Split (2.6MB), from 2005's Hysterical Stars. Catchy indie pop, and sing-a-long to the "ooohhss". Make you want to cruise around in California. Via InSound.

Triple J: Feature Album Of The Week

Kisschasy - United Paper People


Kisschasy, fresh from a sold-out national support tour for After The Fall, are ready to release their debut full-length record called United Paper People. 13 tracks of catchy pop punk including the hit first single, Do-Do's & Whoa-oh's, the Melbourne four-piece are up-and-go for a massive next few months of touring for the album; including support for some of the Shihad NSW shows at the end of this month, their own headlined national tour for the album in September, and the local support act for the Simple Plan / All-American Rejects Australian tour in October. Plus, the album is available as a limited edition 2CD with a bonus 4-track Acoustic disc.

Starting this Friday, you get to hear all the tracks from the album at various times for 1 week on Triple J, which you can listen to live online here.

The album will be released on Sunday, July 31st.

Music Recommendations Week 18/07/2005

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Definitely going to be in my Top 10 albums of 2005. It's what the indie kids are loving right now, especially ones with the 80s nostaglia, it's like Talking Heads, its sort of Bowie and maybe some Spoon. From the Interpol-ish, Details Of The War to the very "dance-able" The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth and the catchy pop-sound of In This Home On Ice to the tambourine-infected Heavy Metal, this is one band to look out for and is all the buzz for the Summer (or fun for our Winter, anyway). They've got a bunch of tracks available on their official website, and below are some of them for download.
Official Website
Download Track #3: Over And Over Again (Lost And Found) (2.9MB)*.
Download Track #5: Details Of The War (3.2MB)*.
Download Track #10: In This Home On Ice (3.6MB)*.
Download Track #12: Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood (4.2MB)*.
*All via their official website.


The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
What is not to love about The Mountain Goats? Catchy folk rock? Of course, but the best thing about this band is John Darnielle's lyrics of wit, honesty and the only nasal vocals I can stand. Also definitely going to be one of my favourite albums of 2005, you can download two of my favourite tracks off the album, the intense Dilaudid and the hit single currently on high radio rotation, Dance Music. The band will be in Adelaide on September 15th at Jive for their Australian Tour 2005: A Vegemite Odyssey so be sure to catch them. Tickets available from either Venuetix or Big Star Records at $33.
Official Website
Download Track #4: Dilaudid (1.6MB).
Download Track #5: Dance Music (1.4MB).

Featured "past" music recommendation:

The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee [2002]
My favourite album from their back catalogue. Sweet folk rock with clever, witty lyrics and the acoustic guitar has never been put to better use. Download my favourite track, No Children.
Official Website
Download Track #7: No Children (2.7MB) via InSound.

New.Track.Mixes.

Updated the five track mixes (side bar) with three tracks:

Peabody - The Weight Just Right (3MB), from 2005's The New Violence. One of my favourite Sydney bands and just the whispers in the beginning of the song got me hooked. Via Triple J.

Queens Of The Stone Age - Burn The Witch (2.5MB), from 2005's Lullabies To Paralyze. Since it's Queens Of The Stone Age WEEK on Triple J, I bring you one of my favourite tracks off their latest album, featuring the dude from ZZ Top. Rock on!

Christoper Bauer - Somebody's Baby (2.9MB), from 2004's The Elliott Smith Tribute CD. A more low-key tribute album for (my personal favourite) the late Elliott Smith, this is my favourite track from the tribute record, which covers Twilight from Elliott Smith's last record, From A Basement On The Hill (it's called Somebody's Baby, because in the early "leaked" days of the record, that was the title). Beautiful cover.

Notice.

Hey all. I am leaving for Brunei in a few hours and will be meeting Noranna there. We'll see what happens then. Sorry for the major lack of updates, things are kinda hectic cuz my family arrived two weeks ago and families are always hectic. I apologize.

New.Track.Mixes.

Updated the five track mixes (side bar) with five tracks:

Secret Lives Of The Freemasons - It Only Took A Whisper (4.8MB), from 2005's This Was Built to Make You Dance. Six-piece post-hardcore band who just want to make you dance. Via PureVolume.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Over and Over Again (Lost & Found) (2.9MB), from 2005's self-titled Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Sounds like something for the indie hipsters fascinated with the 80s. Via their official website.

British India - Outside 109. Melbourne band who kind of sound like Kings Of Leon meets The Vines (when they were good). Via Triple J.

Aberdien - Under Awakening (4.2MB), from 2004's Between The Wake EP. One of the newer bands on US indie punk label, Negative Progression. Via PureVolume.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood (4.2MB), from 2005's self-titled Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Another cool track from their debut record. Via their official website.

Notice.

I am leaving Adelaide from July 14th and won't be back until August 11th. Which means, no gigs, no photos, etc. But have a great winter and enjoy the up-coming amazing gigs. I am insanely jealous of people going to Interpol, though. However, I will still be updating the music recommendations, new.track.mixes. and some good.gigs.picks.

Music Recommendations Week 11/07/2005

Your Black Star - Sound From The Ground
Your Black Star are an amazing three-piece band from Louisville, Kentucky you should get to know. Their sound is incredible, from frontman Jeremy Johnson's passionate vocals to one of the tightest bass and drum combinations I've ever heard. Their debut full-length, Sound From The Ground is out now through Building Records and you can download the opening track from the album. The band will be in Adelaide on August 14th at Enigma Bar with Sydney's Staying At Home, Melbourne's Horsell Common and Adelaide's Mere Theory. Tickets will be at the door on the night.
Official Website
Download Track #1: Why Do I Wait? (8.3MB) via Building Records.


Anberlin - Never Take Friendship Personal
One of the best melodic punk rock albums of this year so far. Released earlier this year, Never Take Friendship Personal, Anberlin's second full-length, is one heck of an album, all 11 tracks: catchy, melodic and fantastic production. The band will be in Adelaide on July 22nd at Enigma Bar with Melbourne's Antiskeptic and Adelaide's In Fiction (July 22nd... crazy night of gigs in Adelaide: also Interpol and The Go-Betweens). Tickets from Big Star Records or Venuetix.

Triple J: Feature Album Of The Week

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois


Sufjan Stevens continues his 50 States project with the state of Illinois and the album has already been described as "Album Of The Year" by Pitchfork plus on a personal note, it's my favourite album of the year so far. Illinois is beautiful folk music, amazing acoustic ballads, gorgeous orchestral tracks. 74 minutes over 22 tracks of perfection; if you haven't caught the Sufjan buzz yet, now is the time.

Sidenote: The album is pushed back for release in the US because of a dispute with the cover art that originally had a Superman on the cover. DC Comics who own the trademark copyright are not impress (more about that here). However, it is already out now in Australia (via Spunk! Records) with the Superman on the cover and in Adelaide, Big Star Records stock them and are available in limited copies. Collector's item? I got mine.

Starting this Friday, you get to hear all the tracks from the album at various times for 1 week on Triple J, which you can listen to live online here.

The album is out now.

New.Track.Mixes.

Updated the five track mixes (side bar) with five tracks:

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The City Sleeps In Flames (3.7MB), from 2005's The City Sleeps In Flames. Melodic/scream-o punk rock from a 6-piece band with the coolest band name ever. Via PureVolume.

Cog - My Enemy (3.3MB), from 2005's The New Normal. Australian Rock in its catchiest sense. Not a major fan of them but this track is great. Via Triple J.

Black Mountain - Druganaut (3.6MB), from 2005's Black Mountain. Sounds like something from the 60s but its a new release from those psychedelic Canadians. Via Triple J.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The Only Medicine (2.7MB), from 2005's The City Sleeps In Flames. Another track from their new album. Via PureVolume.

Your Black Star - Lousy Smarch Weather (3.5MB), from 2004's Drum:Kan / Your Black Star Split EP. One of their best tracks in anticipation of their new album and up-coming Australian tour in August. Via PureVolume.

Good.Gigs.Photos.:No Through Road at Exeter

Last Friday night, I went to the free Brunatex + No Through Road at Exeter. It was amazingly packed, there was a line-up, which isn't very common at the Exeter (but with also the end of Uni exams, etc., it wasn't really a surprise) and I only caught half-way through Brunatex's and couldn't even enter the beer garden where the bands played. Fortunately, I was allowed in for No Through Road's set but was at the very back so photos I took for my Flickr were poor and few.

Good.Gigs.Photos.:The Adult Bookstore at The Gov

Last Thursday night, after the Save And Exit gig at Enigma Bar, I dropped by for the free Local Anaesthetic show at The Gov front bar where The Adult Bookstore did a set. I took a bunch of photos for my Flickr.

Good.Gigs.Photos.:Quiet Child at Enigma Bar

Last Thursday night, I went to catch Adelaide's Quiet Child supporting Save And Exit at the Enigma Bar. Quiet Child recently did a clever stint of inserting copies of their 2-Track Demo in some copies of Rip It Up street press magazine 2 issues ago plus the 2-Track Demo is also free for pick-up at their shows. Anyway, I took a bunch of photos for my Flickr.

Good.Gigs.Pick.:After The Fall at Enigma Bar

Central Coast's After The Fall are one punk rock outfit to look out for. With their recent addition to the US radio airwaves, signed to local major label, Mushroom Records, and support from major corps., such as MTV, Channel [V] and not just the alternative radio station, Triple J, but also mainstream, commerical radio like, Triple M and Nova; these 5-piece outfit have come a long way and expect more big things to come.

This Friday night, July 8th at Enigma Bar, catch them with Melbourne's Kisschasy and Adelaide's The Open Season for an All-Ages show, which opens at 7.30pm. Tickets are $16.30 from Big Star Records or Venuetix but are currently very limited (SOLD-OUT at most Big Stars).

Their new single, Concrete Boots, is out now as an online single purchase and you can hear it on high-rotation at most radio stations. Their new album, Always Forever Now, will be due out sometime in August.

Download some mp3s from their self-titled debut [2004]:

Track #3: Mirror Mirror

Music Recommendations Week 04/07/2005

Youth Group - Skeleton Jar
Sydney's Youth Group received a lot of press attention when they were announced as the Australian artist signed to popular US indie label Epitaph Records (also home to Elliott Smith, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and of course, Bad Religion). Their second album, Skeleton Jar, is beautiful pop/rock that has won fans such as Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie and raved reviews from the music press. You can catch the band in Adelaide at Enigma Bar on Friday, August 19th with local support from Red Riders and Special Patrol. You can buy tickets from either Venuetix or Big Star Records from $13.20. Download the hit single, Skeleton Jar, and another track, Someone Else's Dream, from the album.

Download Track #2: Skeleton Jar (5.7MB)*
Download Track #9: Someone Else's Dream (3.6MB)*
*Both via Epitaph Records.


Faker - Addicted Romantic
Sydney's Faker may sound like they should be part of the British dance/rock scene (like Kaiser Chiefs and Maximo Park) but this local band has caught enough buzz in the music scene especially with the recent signing to Mushroom Records and the release of their debut full-length Addicted Romantic. It's "post-mod rock", it's unbelievebly catchy and it's one of the best local debuts of the year. You can download the very popular radio hit, Quarter To Three and the short but brilliant track, Enough, from the album.
