First time on CD for the long-awaited recordings of Chad's Tree, the band that introduced the singer-songwriting brothers, Mark and Rob Snarski, to the Australian public. If The Jackson Code or Blackeyed Susans are your cup of tea, you'll like this.
This Brisbane based 90's band had three EPs, now long deleted. They can only be found here - all bundled together.
Armed with two vintage guitar amps and a beat-up drum-kit, The Cheats have recorded 13 tracks of live-wire party rock 'n' roll that is sure to make waves and bring good times wherever it is heard.
Workhorse is a blues-wailing, guitar-soaked testament to Masuak's standing as one of Australia's most talented guitarists. Its 14 tracks are cathartic and striking in their directness, full of ironclad riffs but with powerful melody lines not far from the surface.
A mainly instrumental band hailing from Brisbane's inner-city haunts, their kooky brand of twangy surf, lounge, exotica together with a less-than-serious stage show has won them plenty of fans. This will appeal to fans of Dick Dale, the Raybeats and classic surf bands of the 60's on, assuming they are perversely orientated.
Working his way through the 1960s in The Purple Hearts, The Wild Cherries and The Aztecs, Lobby Loyde established the reputation as Australia's pre-eminent guitar master before forming the Coloured Balls in 1972. Ball Power was to become a defining moment and one of the greatest Australian guitar-driven hard rock albums of the 1970s.
Cops Music is a sound all of its own. A schizophrenic mess of grandiose guitars, cheap electronics and precision drilled ensemble performance.
Melbourne psychobilly legends, this collection is a compilation of their split 7" single, the E.P released on Man Made Records and a live performance at Melbourne's Radio 3RRR. The bonus disc is a live performance from The Tote in 1990.
The Cosmic Psychos are an Australian rock and roll institution. The line-up might have changed over the years, but its essence remains the same. And if ever you need proof, one listen to this brand new studio album will confirm it. Not only that, but this release features a bonus disc containing 16 classic old-school tracks that amount to a 'Best Of' in many respects.
Melbourne's Crackwhore deliver nice and sleazy rock n roll on their debut 10 track album. Garage rock with a punk influence and played to excess. The band draw inspiration from the Divinyls, X-Ray Spex, Souxsie & the Banshees, the Dead-Boys, the Stooges and maybe some Nancy Sinatra too.
