The Bionic Hearts »

the-bionic-hearts

The Bionic Hearts is Canberra’s own Gemma Nourse. This self titled compilation was recorded late last year in Darwin and is a lovely little release. Gemma has an ethereal quality found in similar Australian acts like Sarah Blasko yet there is also an airy sense of darkness reminiscent of earlier Elliot Smith. Check it out, the second track Hypnotize is amazing.

Since forming in 2008 the band has headlined many shows and supported bands like Young and Restless (Melbourne) and M.O.T.O (US). Fronted by its charismatic lead singer Dominic Death, The Fighting League are renowned for their intense performances and party-punk anthems.

Their debut recording This is (violence) The Fighting League was recorded with the assistance of band From the South in a makeshift studio in the suburb of Downer. Songs include the infectious “Lets Go Dancing”, anthemic “Crystal Night” and “See Your Face”, raw punk “She takes Medicine” and ballad “Jesus”.  Known for putting on unforgettably energetic shows, seeing them live is a must.

In late 2007 Are The Brave All Dead recorded a demo which was to be the basis for a second E.P. In early 2008 the band split, abandoning all plans for the release. This untitled release dubbed “The Battle E.P” is a marked difference from the first release, representing a more unique style from the band.
