A few hours ago the second child in the Sirens household came into the world; this little beauty weighing in at 8 lbs 1 oz and twenty inches in length. He's heavier than my first son, as well as a little shorter. He also has a head full of hair, which will surely make both of his grandfathers jealous. Included is a picture of the youngest Siren, shortly after his emergence into the wide world. I'm pretty sure he was listening to something pretty chill in the womb, because he was hockey goalie calm while they cleaned him [...]
Last chance to see Step-Panther before they head over to be mobbed by a bunch of bill-loving-chavs from the UK. Recently labeled as one of the best upcoming bands of 2012 by NME , I won't be surprised when the Sydney boys garner a fair bit of attention over in the motherland. Supporting in Sydney will be Mother & Son and Bloods . Get tickets here http://tickets.oztix.com.au/?E vent=26072&utm_medium=Website& utm_source=OzTix&utm_content=G igGuide&utm_term=STEP-PANTHER
Yep, so think of it what you will, but this thing always manages to end up being a pretty massive day as well as creating a bit of controversy. Be it not having any females...to Angus & Julia Stone winning with a song about a big fucking plane. Shannon Noll sang about a big car...didn't [...]
wowz. This has been so amazingly difficult. It's been a year of evolution in regards to my music taste - a year when maamf featured perhaps more local stuff than ever before, and a year when the local scene in general was pretty freaking strong. It's also been a year where my taste has gotten [...]
Sidney's Step-Panther are precisely the dudes with whom I would like to hang out for a while. To be honest, blogger are really lame. All day long they sit in hip cafes and make fun of hipster guys and point to fuckable and unfuckable chicks. Furthermore I'm not interested in talking high-classy shit about music, books and fashion and all that boring stuff. I just want to grab my bike, meet my boys and get it on like real boys. And that's exactly what Step-Panther are doing in their new video for " My Neck ". Straightforward 902s [...]
MP3: Step-Panther - My Neck Terrifically drawling slacker pop-punk from Sydney's Step-Panther with an appropriately charming & unpretentious video. This jam from their debut LP has that real '90s lo-fi charm but without the forced eccentricity that characterises a lot of '90s revivalist bands, and the video itself reminds me of one of my favourite ever clips from back then: The Smashing Pumpkins' "1979". It's real hazy & nostalgic etc. but for "real shit" that "real bros" do: hanging out & eating chips at the beach with a fluffy white dog; smashing stuff with [...]

I recently discovered Sydney boys Step - Panther after being told about them by a friend. I'm...
Australian surf punk band with spoken word inside the songs too? Call us fans. Step-Panther just put out the video clip for their new tune "Jimmy", which tells the absurd story of a huckster street boy who wants to be a cat, and in words that sounds ridiculous and on video, well, it's also ridiculous. [...]
I like the end of May. Winter's a few days off, the weather's a bit miserable, and in my book that makes for a pretty enticing excuse to spend a lazy Saturday scoping out some tasty sounds to get my mid-year groove on to. Which is all fairly convenient; it's also about the time of year when we clear the playlists and brace ourselves for the next crop of fresh and happening tunes. Today's lesson in arty, low-fi indie pop comes courtesy of Melbourne four-piece The Crayon Fields. They've been getting big wraps recently following their string of [...]
