Buzz Kull : Bedroom Highs What's buzzier than a buzz band with the word 'buzz' in their name? A buzz band with the word 'buzz' in their name and a business in bee-breeding (is that a thing?) and honey-making. But that's not the point. Buzz Kull is severely lacking in buzz for the time being. A Sydney-based doom artist with on average 50 plays per Soundcloud track. Both of Marcel Whyler's efforts are frenetic, tense experiences; like a harsh collision of sharp, broken fragments. Rooted somewhere in between [...]

This years list is an eclectic medly of artists, ranging from the dubstep/rock DJ Skrillex , to the fiesty girl pop group Stooshe . Today the winner was annouched as [...]

Rammstein's first retrospective is a strong reminder of just how powerful this band can be.
So, as the New Year approaches, here are our favourite albums of 2011 for your consideration. Feel free to dispute, argue, or otherwise put us right because, if nothing else, music is as about as subjective topic as it is possible to get. Some of these may not be the "best" albums of the year as far as the critics are concerned, but that matters not, as they were the ones we enjoyed listening to most - give them a try, you might feel the same. 50 Jessica Lea Mayfield [...]
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Mute Records) has a soundtrack that takes no melodic prisoners. Trent Reznor, in collaboration with English composer and musician Atticus Ross, comes bearing a monolithic 39-track beast. Fresh from their triumph at the Oscars (They won Best Original Score for The Social Network) they have hit the ground not running but barreling. Ross has collaborated with Reznor on past Nine Inch Nails albums and it's a fusion of dark vision. The staccato clattering machinations of "Oraculum" chime and skitter along at a frenetic pace that brings to mind OCD and the agitation brought on by any painful thought or situation you just [...]

Former Nine Inch Nails keyboard player, Sonoio (Alessandro Cortini) is getting ready to release his new album later this month. I feel like I'm not qualified to review this type of music, since this, although electro, borders into a more industrial sound; then I thought about how rare this type of music is now a days, and how well is made. To be fair I am a fan of Sonoio and also of NIN, their music evokes testosterone down my blood, which is a very rare occurrence with indie and electro. Sonoio has been touring with Ladytron (great [...]
