The Aussie Rock thread

To me midnight oil are the greatest Aussie Rock band ever and live, they were as good as any band that I have seen (and I have seen a lot of banRAB.)
 
My replies to your comment are contradicted by each other???

I took the first part of your reply with the word "popularity" to equate with record sales etc so therefore certain merabers of the music listening world will never like them no matter what.

The 2nd part on the general saying that the gossip column issues, if there are any, are not part of my intentions of being dismissive of them.
 
Come come come, The Saints surely:p:

I have to admit that I am a bit down on rock music of my homeland. We let a lot of inferior music be praised due to a bit of an inferiority complex but I think that the Oils are brilliant. They rocked sure but they also sang lyrics that counted for something.
 
in no particular order check out some names if you can other than the usual suspects: Venom p stinger, One Inch Punch / MYC, Stems / Dom Mariani, Drones, Kamikaze Trio, Paradise Motel, Undeground Lovers, Hoss / God, Powdermonkeys, Fireballs, Living End, Asteroid B-612, Magic Dirt, Poppin' Mommas, Mark of Cain, Crow...

some labels/online stores/old zines places to start Missing Link, Augogo (gone), Dave Lang / Year Zero fanzine, Off The Hip (garage), Bang! RecorRAB (Spanish label re-dist), International Trash (just closed - unfortunately - they were literally throwing a lot of vinyl out for $4)


that's it for now enjoy
 
It's on Starfish which has some great songs on it but is a little hit-or-miss overall. They have a ton of albums, but if I were to recommend one as a good place to start, I'd probably say Priest=Aura.


^Another one of my favorites off that album! "Antenna" is yet another great song on that album:

My super-fail thread about the Vines is currently decomposing somewhere so instead I recommend my favourite psychedelic pop/indie-rock band of 2008, the Silents :D Really brimming with paranoia and bad-acid-trip despair, love em

Infact the entire Ivy League RecorRAB roster seems worth a gander, or so a half-assed myspaz excursion tells me :hphones:
