jack the stripper

Jack The Stripper is a hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia.
“Black Annis” is the first full-length work from these avant-noise merchants. Containing eight tracks with a central lyrical theme of nightmares and personal demons, this album is a harrowing blend of grind, chaotic hardcore, mosh metal and jazz fusion. Filled with rage and unsettling progressions that have been compared to early Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge, “Black Annis” captures the blood-spitting violent live spirit of the band in a highly creative, original and polished independent release.

Sincerely, Grizzly

Not many people know this, but a friend of mine was in japan last year, possibly the year before, anyway, they were over there over valentines day and they were feeling very lonely and didn’t know who to write a valentines day card to, so they chose Grizzly, the character of Super Crunchy Fun Grizzly, who was the character of a Japanese cereal. Anyway he got a letter back the very next day, signed Sincerely, Grizzly.

Injured Ninja

The INJURED NINJA is in itself, an anomaly. The well-honed skills of any Ninja are calculated and precise, silent and deadly, these fit fighting warriors would never be disgraced by falling in the heat of battle. A Ninja knows victory or death – there is no compromise. So one must ask, what cataclysm has befallen this one? INJURED NINJA is an epic sonic force that confronts its audience with experimental Noise Rock and sythethsized electronic wizardry creating a new aural atmosphere.

Gatherer

Previously named This City Sunrise. A discography of previously released but not commercially made available material is now available at all online digital music retailers Once from Wellington but now relocated to Melbourne. Gatherer is a familiar feeling, delivered with unfamiliar sound. Beautifully haunting melodies, complex rhythms and a wall of sound so huge it's hard to comprehend how only three people can make it. Gatherer dares to be different. Gatherer is your dream girl’s music collection, listening to Converge during the day and Jeff Buckley at night.

Starving Weirdos

Starving Weirdos are from northern California's lost coast, a sleepy hamlet surrounded by five hours of wilderness in all directions. They are a wild and desperate style music band. They dig on the quiet and natural beauty that defines their environs and try to carry the same spirit of dignity mixed with brute force and docile felicity as it appears to them daily. No discord and no harmony.
