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.

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.
