'The Q are avid, spirited, classy and all-round entertaining. Bag fills of verve, vigour and vitality and bloody brilliant music writers. They clearly value originality. Their sound, in their own words: "if Spike Milligan, Doctor Who and Keith Richards lived together and threw a house party"...couldn't have put it better myself.'
Recommended Track: 'Powder Rooms'

The Light Streams formed through 2008 through a series of late night conversations and suggestion, each member being invited into the fray well into the night, the band then sought to seek a daytime arrangement that worked as well. Towards the end of the year demos were made and in early 2009 dates were set to go put them down properly, the band was launched upon hearing the record back. Brought together through a camaraderie, an odd sense of humour and a love of a cross of music that sways between psychedelia, pop, rock and roll and back again.
There are several artist go by or have gone by the name, The Factory: 1) "Why don't you come and see us play" said a group of young musicians to BRIAN CARROLL at a summer party back in 1967. The FACTORY were three boys from Surrey in England at the height of Jimi Hendrix and the whole flower power fantasy of the summer of love. Through the haze of cities covered in smoke from a generation that was expanding their minds came thousands of groups and musicians waiting for the break that would take them from a seedy club to a recording contract.
In response to the rise of reality television & the emerging ban on all culturally seditious behaviour, a psychobilly pop band called The Henchmen began hiring out halls & warehouses, putting on seditious showcases of reckless abandon disguised as 'parties'.
At first nobody came. even their closest friends and family disassociated from this reckless band of loners & outcasts. So in 2004 they moved from the relative safety of Canberra and spread their 'party' across the national landscape, performing everywhere from Brisbane to Adelaide.
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as The Fall meets Neil Young. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense. The quartet wonders through the American and British underground, picking away their favorite parts with confidence.
The Bizet project born in May 2009 in Guadalajara, México by Carmen Reyes (Zanate & Asociados, Momo, Matinee) on Guitar and Vocals, Oscar Ramirez on Drums/Percussions and Manuel Tostado on Bass Guitar. With a most proper sound created by years of musical career, in Bizet we can hear influences of classic rock like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and contemporary like Wolfmother and Queens of the Stone Age. The band purpose it's keep that force and dynamics of pure rock coming from the 70', as a result, the band sounds like a modern rock band with taste of oldies.

The Deviants (formerly the Social Deviants) were a musical group in the United Kingdom. Out of the Ladbroke Grove UK Underground Community, a number of bands would emerge. Perhaps the most anarchistic band of the Underground was the Deviants founded and fronted by singer/writer Mick Farren, the Social Deviants, later just the Deviants, made three bizarre albums in two years. Mick Farren states that The Deviants were a community band which "did things every now and then - it was a total assault thing with a great deal of inter-relation and interdependence".
Soundgarden is a Seattle rock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that more closely resembled Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the "big four" of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell (vocals, and originally drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil (guitar) and Scott Sundquist (drums).
