chris smith is a genuine heartfelt vagabond from the southern places below melbourne town. he gave up his ghost for an electric guitar and has continued to manifest apparitions and spirits into this world through the circuitry of that darn piece of art since exiting the 'Golden Lifestyle Band' back sometime in the forgotten nineties. part uneasy silence/part heart breaking noise chris has found a zone rarely inhabited by the vast mountains of guitarrorists wandering the open plains these days. catch his beautiful webs are melbourne town.

Robedoor is the duo of Alex: slime, knives and distortion, and Notnotfun label head honcho Britt on fire, howls and cloaks... Hmmm... but what does all that mean, sonically? Well, precisely what you might imagine. A blackened drone drenched world of slime and knives and fire, dense clouds of distorted howls, a thick cloak of fuzz and buzz wrapped around the proceedings like a thick, well, cloak! Actually this is a lot prettier than you might imagine. That is, if your idea of pretty includes tons of low end and a world of slow motion doomdrone.
1) A mod band that played the song "Hi Heel Sneakers" in the movie "Quadrophenia" in 1979, which was based on The Who's concept album in 1973. 2) 90's emo hardcore band from Syracuse.
Prior to being called Cross Section, they were called Bonejack.
Gods And Queens 3 piece band from Brooklyn/Philadelphia, who tried in vain to blatantly steal riffs and song patterns from some of their favorite bands, like Hoover, Rodan, The Telescopes, Angels Of Light, June Of 44, Lowercase, Spaceman 3 and the like...but failed on every attempt. Instead here are 7 songs that resemble nothing of who or what they were intended to be. Instead a few have said it sounds like a low rent super depressed version of Fugazi, and Quicksand with out the start stop timing, which Jamie is NOT happy about at all, in any sort of the word happiness.
Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre.
Andy Jarvis (a.k.a. A. Jarvis) comes from the same school of UK psychedelia as one of his close collaborators, Ben Reynolds. Jarvis spends his time recording solo mini-epics as well as playing in numerous duos and groups like Sculptress and w/ his sister Mikarla. Not only that, but he also runs the excellent and unparallelled three-inch CDR imprint, Firstperson. The label has cranked out a few dozen releases in the past few years, all handsomely packaged in transparent acestate covers.
