Musket- On 1999

Great album from an unsung Aussie band. This was their one and only full lengther. Mix of grunge and slight shoegazer sounds but with a very poppy edge. Quality drops off a bit towards the end as the songs are more mellow but I just prefer the grungier stuff.

2/ cool

3/ amberlin'

Mr Brown Gooda 1998

6 Track EP. Features Rusty from Electric Mary on vocals. Great band who I saw live supporting Butch Walker at the Evelyn Hotel many years ago. Good catchy stuff. Reminds me a bit of Enuff Z Nuff.

Powderfinger Self Titled 1st E.P 1992

The Mighty Finger have called it quits. A rock institution here in Oz have decided enough is enough and are finishing up. Their latest album (Golden Rule- 2009) and tour is their last. They truely are one of the great bands and although it is a shame the cynic in me can't help but feel they will be back at some stage (when they need the dough I suspect).

Lead singer Bernard Fanning is sure to release solo material. His 1st and only solo album "Tea and Sympathy- 2005" was a huge hit.

Here is where it all started. Their self financed 1st Self Titled EP from '92 sometimes called the blue ep (due to the cover). This is not a great representation of the band but it's very rare. I owned this but sold it to on ebay (to someone in the UK) a few years ago for over $200.00 bucks. Not such a good idea since they are splitting up. I am sure it's worth heaps more now!!!!

Horsehead- ST 1993

Great debut album from this Aussie band out of Melbourne. Saw them live heaps and they put on one hell of a show.

Here is the album in all its glory.

Slightly grungy (was popular at the time) but more classic rock than anything else. Elements of Zeppelin and The Cult (Sonic Temple era). Highly recommended!!

New Years albums in high rotation (best of 2010 so far)

Hey,
Been a while between posts but here is what I am spinnin' at the moment.

1/ Reckless Love-ST
Great 80s style H/rock done well

2/ Airbourne- No Guts, No Glory
More of the same from these Aussie Hard men

3/ HIM- Screamworks
Better than the last one. Saw them live a couple of weeks ago at the HI Fi bar in Melb. Ville was in a foul mood which spoiled the gig. Blamed the drummer for errors, complained about the mic stand, moaned about his ear plugs not working in the heat and just seemed he didn't want to be there.

4/ Audrey Horne- ST
Brilliant modern rock/Metal album with fantastic vocals (reminds me of Faith No More in parts)

6/ Year Long Disaster- Black Magic:All Mysteries Revealed
Improvement song wise from the debut. Puts me in mind of Wolfmother in their classic rock delivery

7/ Lifehouse- Smoke and Mirrors
Best album in a while. Bit heavier than recent efforts

8/ Brian Howe- Circus Bar
Classic rock done with an 80s sense of melody. Puts me in mind of Rick Springfield

9/ Treat - Coup De Grace
Fantastic riffs. Very Immediate with great songs.

Older Stuff I am Getting into-

Bulletboys- Freakshow
EMN (Every Mothers Nightmare)- Wake up screaming
House Of Lords- Sahara


Dokken- Under Lock and Key and Faster Pussycat- ST (both Remastered)
Brillianty done stuff from a dude over at Sleaze Roxx who takes older albums and spruces them up to sound more modern.

Finally got the Vain - All those Strangers and it sounds fantastic. Shame it never got released back in the day but I don't think it would have been the difference to make them a big band. The bubble had burst by that stage for hard rock (91) and the debut never really did much which doesn't diminish the fact both are brilliant. Hope Davey releases some new product this year (sooner than later)

Got some new books for my birthday through Amazon-
Andy McCoy- Sherriff McCoy.Hanoi Rocks biography
Stacey Blades- Confessions... LA Guns Guitarist
Dimebag Darrell- Black Tooth Grin Pantera biography

I will review these once read.
