| Kill City Creeps - I Got A Letter Rock, Garage, Psychedelic, Punk | 20/10/2011 |
Up from the sleazy streets of Sydney’s inner-west come the swampy sounds of Kill City Creeps. This is the sound of a depleted youth, broken, bored, wired and horny.
A bastard sound, somewhat reminiscent of late 60s and 70s psychedelia, but with an unhinged, swampy demeanor that is very much parentless. In truth the enigma can’t be described. It can only be felt.
Other tracks by Kill City Creeps: While You Talk - La La Blues

| silent feature era - The Horsebreaker Rock, Pop | 19/10/2011 |
In a quiet street, there was a quiet house. And in that quiet house there was a quiet den. And in that quiet den lived the Silent Feature Era.
A kaleidoscope of mariachi horns, sine wave synthesizers and crooked, cooked guitars – the shrill, righteous damnation of a fiddle and the half-arsed redemption of an asthmatic harmonium, these were singularly unique reckonings of song.
immovable, unshuffleable, preselected collection of songs.
