Bare Bones...major game changers on the Punk/Rock scene.

Bare Bones Facebook Official
 
So I found this little group a few months ago and wrote up a little piece for Stagedive mag about them. Do have a read, I hope you decide to check out some of their tunes as they have worked hard for the wicked sound produced. Be sure to get amongst this tour that kicks off in September!
 
Not your typical punk rockers, smashing and gritty Bare Bones are so much more than awesome rock riffs held together with banging drums. Receiving great reviews and wrecking PA's everywhere, popping their profile up on Australia's own Triple J Unearthed website proved to be a major game changer for BB winning the opener spot on the Sydney leg of the Soundwave 2015 tour. These five young blokes from Sydney town have been playing sold out gigs in some of Australia's more musically historical haunts including Oxford Art Gallery, Newtown Social Club and The Manning Bar since 2013. In their own words BB write 'no frills, genuine music under the adage that music should first and foremost be written for personal enjoyment.' which is testament to the dedication shown to their art.

Their virgin EP 'Villains' gained radical prestige with KillYourStereo.com stating the EP was “one of the most top quality releases from a local hardcore band we've heard, period..” Gigging intensely they earned themselves a very loyal following around the traps for all ages, scoring some dream International support slots with names like Senses Fail, For Today, Harms Way, Heights, Every Time I Die, Northlane and Slates. Not to be the type to rest on their laurels they followed up 'Villains' with the 2014 release of 'Cut Throat Living'. These 6 tracks were noted by keepitfast.com as “...drunk ‘n roll that will batter you around the head and body with its frantic and caustic speed”. True to form and all the street press hype, they have skyrocketed in popularity with their Soundwave success and there is no doubt in my mind that Bare Bones are heading towards a massively successful touring career. 
 
Tom, James, Chris, James and Chris have created a furiously large cacophony of sound that is reminiscent of Every Time I Die, August Burns Red and Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster, and both EP's 'Villains' and 'Cut Throat Living' are out now through iTunes / Spotify and BigCartel...get sweaty with this new wild and frenzied masterpiece.

PLANET - The Struggle for Support is real for Emerging Artists

Words of wisdom for every emerging artist from PLANET's Matty Took. I wanted to start a conversation about the reality of following your dreams in the music industry in Australia. We want young artists to understand these challenges a little better & know they are not alone in the struggle.

 Your bio states that you had several years of trial and error in your songcrafting. What was the defining moment you found your rhythm and were happy about what you were producing?

I feel like every band or musician starting off doesn't really know what “their sound is” or know what their vibe as a musician is when starting off. Especially when they throw themselves in the deep end at a younger age, without any ‘behind the scenes’ work and no label behind them. This was us, as we just started playing straight away.

We’ve all played in a few different bands in our time so hundreds of songs have come in and out. Our defining moment was probably about 3 years ago when we started PLANET. We …

The Uprising of Van Larkins

Who the heck is Van Larkins? I hear you ask. 
Focus, drive and determination are three words that come to mind talking to Owen, AKA Van Larkins. His compositions are dynamic, artful and complex commanding every ear in the vicinity; the craft of one who literally eats, sleeps & breathes their passion.

Composer, mentor, teacher and troubadour of a unique fingerstyle revolution in Australia, Owen has chanced many opportunities to grow with his craft. It's not just making a classical tune or knocking out some dank rock, (both of which I love mind you), his arrangements are so much more. When this guy picks up a guitar, together, they create an aural story. Having just released his second solo album in July this year, I wanted to know about the uprising of Van Larkins, and his new album 'Cinder Moon'.

You've just recently played a role in a documentary style film, 'Acoustic Uprising'. How did that come about?

 I was in discussion with the guy who put the whole th…

Filling the Girl Punk Voiid

Walking into the Foundry early, I was pretty keen on the night's line-up. There was a crowd starting to mill around the stage and a bit of a buzz to be honest, tonight’s headliners are the irrepressible Bleeding Knees Club with The Pinheadz & Voiid supporting…this was not the first I’d heard of the ostentatious girl group.  In fact I was looking forward to seeing some girlshreik, it had been a while since I’d heard an all girl punk band that impressed me to be honest.

The girls were all so comfortable in their skin on stage, an electric presence that flaunted true punk ego. They sauntered onto stage, and with an almighty bass line they launched straight into it as did the crowd. Voiid certainly have built a local following and everyone was writhing & cascading all over the joint with enthusiasm. Obvious influences came shining through, I decided I needed to have a little chat with the girls to spread the word on the hot asfuck sounds hitting my earholes…
So you got together…
