Amy Meredith is Sydney-siders Christian Lo Russo (Vocals, Keys), Joel Chapman (Guitar), Wade Osborn (Bass), Cameron Laing (Guitar) and Kosta Theodosis (Drums). They’re a boys-own, stadium pop troupe, and they’re taking steady aim at the high-end of the charts. Brought together in 2006 by shared disdain for the current crop of Aussie indy-pop, Amy Meredith write music that taps into the pop zeitgeist without sounding bland or tired.

Buried In Verona are a five piece metal band from Sydney which formed late 2006. After a few months of writing they entered the studio to record which has now become their debut album “Circle the Dead”. “Circle the Dead” is an unforgettable mix of intensity and melody. The band’s skillful songwriting flows effortlessly from technical riffing, blast beats, brutal breakdowns, shredding guitar solo’s and demonic screams to soaring vocals choruses, clean guitar parts and classically orchestrated sections.
We are the loudest and greatest band in the history, of the history of the world. We rock so hard it sometimes kills unicorns. The size of the rock that we produce transcends what the human and animal brain can take in. The bowels empty, the cerebral cortex shuts down. To be truly MAMMOTH, both sonically and visually, each member is united in their willingness to bleed, bleed from the fingers, bleeds from the face and bleed from the goat bag.
Rummaging through the bones of 60s pop, late 70s post-punk, 80s and 90s noise rock, Melbourne four piece Witch Hats are the ideal antidote to a world that celebrates the vacuous pursuits of the celebrity classes, cheap corporate rhetoric and the disposable lifestyle. Think The Birthday Party jamming with Andrew Wk while Mark E. Smith and The Beatles look on knowingly, and you get some idea of the Witch Hats sound.
Corpsickle was summoned from the ground by meddling occultists at the turn of the millenium. The unimpressed summoned fiends, the zombie of necrophilia and corpsemaster general immediately slew these panda worshipping occultists and enlisted the services of the master of maggot mayhem and unleashed 2 demos of zombified death metal, Eaters of Pus in 2000 and Violating the Dead in 2001. After the second release the fiends returned to their previous antics, ZON started making sweet love to the dead, CMG slayed poofters and defiled virgins and MOMM returned to his tomb.
Chris Smith is a genuine heartfelt vagabond from the southern places below melbourne town. he gave up his ghost for an electric guitar and has continued to manifest apparitions and spirits into this world through the circuitry of that darn piece of art since exiting the 'Golden Lifestyle Band' back sometime in the forgotten nineties. part uneasy silence/part heart breaking noise chris has found a zone rarely inhabited by the vast mountains of guitarrorists wandering the open plains these days. catch his beautiful webs are melbourne town.
