    Eddy Current Suppression Ring – Rush to Relax

    Presenter

    Eloise

    In the spirit of Eddy Current let’s keep this review short and loud –“It’s FUCKING good!”

    Rush to Relax is raw and raucous, well in keeping with the band’s original ethos.It has a loose structure, but still projects a lot of power.

    It’s no great surprise to find that this album was recorded in 6 hours… more »

    Mammal - Vol 2 Systematic/Automatic

    Kate Stephens

    Vol 2 Systematic/Automatic is the latest release by Australian rockers Mammal, recorded before but released after the band announced their spilt. The live album stumbles through the chaotic and craziness that’s now become Mammal’s live reputation. But the most entertaining part of their gig is watching the four rip the stage apart, and lucky for us, put disc two into your computer and bam! Mammal: The visual experience. The main footage is recorded at the Ferntree Gully Hotel in April 2009, but it is constantly interrupted by tour footage, giving an insight into the band, but occurring too often and at poor times, leaving the divisions possibly better for a separate reel. The quality as well is questionable, with some angles and sound levels at times amateur. Yet despite the occasional fuzzy image, lead singer Ezekiel Ox always shines through. He’s a clear show stopper, flexing every muscle in time with the music as he makes his way over every inch of the stage. more »

    Anetta Nevin

    Mademoisellle K have just released their second album Jamais La Paix, which translates into ‘No Peace’, which is a fun, powerful, rhythmic and seductive affair. Inspired by idiots talking on the streets, the green of cucumbers and the changing skies and Gainsburg (as they put it themselves), their sound goes through moments of chaos and noise to reflective sighs, always maintaining their ballsy attitude. more »
