Rellish Muse Chick

The Floors massive sound gave the audience a powerful aural assault from the first drum beat. This live performance was one of the best I have seen in a while. Right from the get-go, this crowd copped a good ol' helping of west-side love that was LOUD! Hailing from Perth, The Floors are brothers Luke & Ryan Dux with Drummer Ash Doodkorte...they describe their sound "Like a steam train through your chest"...I describe it as having bold yet intricate bass that is so sexy it floors you;  skins tighter than your Nanna's purse strings and a great variety in showing influences spanning Blues, Rock and little punk. One of the more recent tracks, 'Join the Fight' I feel is aimed a little more at the radio audience as it is a little softer than their other material...that's not to say it's not good, I love it. Reminds me of Grinspoon & other such rock bands with guts. My fave release so far though is 'Built From Bones'. They site influ...

My favourite month of the year, Aus music month, has rolled around FINALLY and looking back on the superb quality of albums released this year it's going to be ... hard to pick only one that stands out...so here are 2 that impressed me, which gets your vote? Currents, from Tame Impala is another superb example of the production talents of psychedelic multi instrumentalist Kevin Parker. It is an honest expression of love, all the emotions, conditions & expectations that come with it. I can't go past "The Less I Know The Better" as my RMC pick.

The Positions is the release of the year as far as I am concerned. Donnie, Joji, Jung and Maximus are such a tight unit, bringing together lyrical genius with Dave's vocal conviction. Each live show I have experienced has given me goose bumps...I love the stories told with each so...

Hit play on any one of their tunes on Unearthed, Soundcloud or their Facebook page & the big ballsy bass slaps you right in the face. The Royal Artillery have been tasty fodder on the Brisbane music scene for some time now & have a stack of festival performances under their belts to boot. I'm really digging their tunes, I find their stoner style well to my liking, they have skill & great technique in executing their fine auditory art. I have posted the Soundcloud link to their EP below & enthusiastically encourage you to lend your ear for a tantalizing burst of fat rockin' riffs. The story 'Pony Ride' appeals as my fave song on this EP, the sound is a true representation of a blues recipe in my book. The lads are skilled at meshing together blues melody & vocals with driven skins; the flippant lyrics meld into the at times cacophonous rhythms perfectly, with an arrogance that is just enough to be attractive rather than overbearing, much like the...
