Killing Birds »
Killing Birds are a guitar & drums two piece who formed somewhere in Canberra earlier this year. They finished their first EP Her Joy last week without even having played a show yet (at least I think they haven’t). No doubt they are big Nirvana fans with the EP sometimes sounding like the lost B-Sides to Nevermind. Regardless of that, these guys have written some great songs. The eight track release will be out sometime next month, I’ve only posted the first track Plume, if you want a copy get in contact with them at their Myspace or keep your eyes out for them live, apparently they’re tight as fuck.

Hoodlum Shouts »
“Enter Hoodlum Shouts who defy cyclical trends with their debut EP Horses and Human Hands. With what we believe is a contribution, rather than trend, to the affectionately nicknamed era I call ‘Australian-post-colonial-punk’. This release would have recognisable past and present bands like The Birthday Party, The Stabs, The Triffids, (early) Hunters & Collectors, Midnight Oil and The Drones (if the majority of these bands had died in their primes) turning excitedly in their graves.” (Birds Love Fighting)
Check out the track History’s End from the Horses and Humans Hands EP, which you can pick up from Landspeed Records in Canberra or from Missing Link in Melbourne.

The five songs has been produced live onto tape by Richard Belkner who has worked previously with artists such as Pivot, Triosk and Showa 44.

Brendan Dwyer »
Brendan Dwyer is a local Canberra musician who as well as being as being a great sound engineer, is an equally great musician. The opening track Santa’s Big Red Lap lends itself to any classic 90s grunge anthem, but also reminds me a little bit of some heavier Nick Cave. Maybe this is because Brendan can sometimes look like Nick Cave (or maybe I’m crazy). Either way these are some well crafted songs that wouldn’t be out of place on any “Sub Pop” compilation tape.
