The Sisters of Mercy - London - 9th April
-
Artist:The Sisters of Mercy
The Sisters of Mercy The Forum, London 9th April 2009 For a band who have refused to release records since 1994 and now only operate as a touring act, The Sisters of Mercy must have the most dedicated fanbase on the planet. Goths, like Heavy Metal fans, mate for life with their chosen bands and The Sisters of [...]

Top Ten - B-Sides
The B-side is every music geek/fan’s favourite thing to debate over. It’s the one place where an artist is allowed to record whatever they see fit, and the one place where a fan can expect the unexpected and be surprised, or wonder how long it took to throw that piece of junk down and never [...]

Artist:
Ripe (Moran, Seltman, Murphy, Dixon)There’s the “Secret History of Australian Music”, and then there’s the “Secret History of Australian Music I Know Next To Nothing About”, which has little merit in attempting to write about, but what the hell, here goes nothing…Was it Kim’s on St.Marks Place in New York around late 1999? I can’t [...]

Win Metric’s Fantasies (They Could Be Yours)
-
Artist:
Further proof of Webcuts’ surreptitious move from general indie zine to Metric fansite, we have four copies of Metric’s rather fantabulous new album Fantasies to give away. Fantasies is ten tracks of Ms. Haines and Messers Shaw, Winstead and Scott-Key kicking serious ass with chunky riffs, layers of synth and exquisitely hum-able tunes.We’ve already featured two tunes [...]

Deerhunter to strut their stuff in Australia come June

Artist:
Dear Deerhunter,Hey, you guys read our off-hand plea for you to tour Down Under! Well, naturally we’re thrilled to bits and it’s refreshing to think that even since the whole Deerhunter thing (including your Atlas Sound and Lotus Plaza off-shoots) blew up, which in a small way we hope we contributed to, you still take notice [...]

The thief of time (The British India Interview)
The rise and rise of Melbourne’s British India has been something to behold. They’ve gone from their first release in 2005, the rough and ready Counter Culture EP, to 2007’s incendiary debut Guillotine, and from feted Triple J acts to top five chart placings with second album Thieves. We stole some time with guitarist Nic Wilson [...]
