Everybody loves Oreos. The simplicity of the circular biscuits moulded together by a white cream centre leaves your salivating mouth crying for a meet and greet. If you lack loose change to go and buy a packet, don't stress as we have an alternative. It's the new type of Oreo that you digest through your ears rather than your mouth; WAX WITCHES ' new song 'Oreo'. As soon as you open the blue, cardboard packet, a warped version of a piece of audio from an old Oreo ad jumps out like a jack in [...]

Garage-pop kings of Aus, Bleeding Knees Club, are back with a puppy packed video for their anthemic new single 'Feel'. The track is the first taste of fresh material from the band since last year's acclaimed debut album "Nothing To Do". Produced by Melbourne-based legend Lindsay Gravina ( Violent Soho , Magic Dirt ), "Feel" is the sound of Bleeding Knees Club gaining confidence and branching out. Progressing from the beach to the studio, whilst still preserving their upbeat-DIY-for the fun of it vibes 'Feel' is reminiscent of early Blink 182 - and by [...]
'Feel' is the new track from Aussie punk pop band, Bleeding Knees Club, taking us back to a'90s high school band vibe. Any out their dig some Blink 182? Well we do!
When I was 17, I saw Blink 182 perform live at a small music festival. They were good, playing the music you'd expect to hear ( All the Small Things , I Miss You , What's My Age Again , etc.), but they just didn't put their heart and soul into the performance, and it was obvious . That could have also been due to the fact that the entire band was piss drunk and messed up half of their performance, but [...]
City Calm Down are ready to take over the world. The Melbourne quartet's post-punk electro-rock is the kind of music meant to flow through arena-sized speakers. Their upcoming EP, Movements , should bring them one step closer to that dream. The six-track release will see the light in just over a month through I OH YOU , an Aussie label with a knack for good talent like Snakadaktal and Bleeding Knees Club. Until then, we're happy to bring you the download premiere of their single "Pleasure and Consequence" today. Grab a copy of [...]
Sydney garage pop ruffians BLOODS have just released a fantastic and very interesting cover of Adina Howard's 'Freak Like Me', probably better known for The Sugarbabes 2002 cover. Very generously the band have passed it to us for a PURPLE SNEAKERS premiere! It's late 90s R'n'B meets late 80s 'Rough Trade' era indie pop and makes for a delicious musical treat. Wall of sound guitars and airy, ambient vocals give this cover a very interesting edge and set it solidly apart from either previous version [...]
Here’s a new Wax Witches song from his debut album Celebrity Beatings . Recorded & mixed by Alex Wall in his bedroom. I Hate Matilda // download
Only days after wrapping up tour commitments for Bleeding Knees Club’s Nothing To Do record, frontman Alex Wall is excited to announce the debut 2013 album from his solo project Wax Witches . The 16-track Celebrity Beatings will be released in the US by the end of this month, available on cassette & digitally via Burger Records (02.08 in Australia via new Sydney label Jerko). If you’re a BKC fan, you’ll find much to love here - if possible, Wax Witches is even more snotty, frantic, dumb, lo-fi & badass. [...]
This has been a seriously brilliant year for music and as a music site it's basically a responsibility of ours to make a list of the best. So on one sunny morning all the Purple Sneakers minds got together and here are the Top 50 albums we chose from 2012. 50. Diiv Oshin 49. Alpine A Is For Alpine 48. Breakbot By Your Side 47. The Cast Of Cheers [...]
So for a few weeks now, Gold Coast boys BLEEDING KNEES CLUB have been uploading short clips on YouTube of dudes and gals that they interviewed in Federation Square, Melbourne, for their film clip 'Let It Go'. Now that it's all been complied together, 'Let It Go' has finally been released in all its visual glory! Directed by Andrew Wood at Rockaway Creative, the clip opens with a girl describing her "like" worst hangover experience ever. The song kicks off after this and rides out underneath [...]
Two girls, one bedroom, pillow fights and penis. This all sounds a bit too much like a porno, doesn't it? Well it's not! Cast your minds away from where they most probably just were as BLEEDING KNEES CLUB have released a clip to their single, 'Girls Can Do Anything'! When they're not pricelessly reacting to the randoms of the Chatroulette world, the two girls in the clip (who are friends of BKC ) spend their time dancing, roller skating and lounging around in the boys' shirts. This all takes place in a bedroom [...]

Visiting the parents is often a stressful time. Despite their incessantly busy schedules, they have actually learned to relax in retirement despite their hectic lifestyle. I visited them two weekends ago now. Hence the absence of an August 17 radio show recap; there was none. Instead, I participated in my brother's wedding. Having just one brother, this was a first. And I'm very excited to have a new sister. He and Diane dated five years before their engagement, just like Andi and myself. (Their engagement story, [...]
“Ah fuck it, let’s throw some sweet parties!” I’m sure this is exactly what Danny Beusa and BC Michaels of DUNE RATS said when they came up with the idea of throwing a string of Suburban Beach Parties around Australia. The Brisbane band have come a long way with their infectious surf-punk tunes. Their growing achievements list consist of having supported the likes of Best Coast , The Drums , Cults , Ariel Pink and Bleeding Knees [...]
Did you catch this party a couple of weeks ago? BLEEDING KNEES CLUB are Gold Coast natives so, by all rights, I – proud Queenslander (who is not political about State of Origin; please don’t hate-Tweet me) – should have heaps of stories about their sick live shows to regale you all with. I sorta do, but my mum reads everything I publish on the Internet, so I’m trying to cut back on all the incriminating anecdotes. (Check out our interview with the band HERE ) [...]
Oh man, first it was ‘Have Fun’, then it was ‘Teenage Girls’ and now it’s ‘Girls Can Do Anything’. Brisbane boys, BLEEDING KNEES CLUB seem to peer over this ever accumulating collection of genres (garage/surf/pop/indie/thrash and there’s probably more), which probably has to do with the differentiation in sound between their EP ‘Virginity’ and their newly released LP ‘Nothing To Do’. Dropping like a wave, the LP came as a huge relief to fans alike, eagerly waiting to hear what BLEEDING KNEES CLUB have in store for the next year [...]
Call The Cops may just be the most befitting tour name to bestow upon BLEEDING KNEES CLUB, DZ DEATHRAYS and YACHT CLUB DJS upcoming boarder crossing venture. You know why? Because as Kanye once preached, this shit WILL get cray. Joining forces, these three acts will throw two special shows in Melbourne and Sydney ahead of playing Splendour in the Grass under their own respective names. For years, YACHT CLUB DJS have been bringing [...]
