Read MoreTHE AUSSIE ALTERNATIVE PRESENTS!
The Aussie Alternative goes LIVE! ‘The Aussie Alternative’ started in mid-late 2012, with the sole purpose of promoting and celebrating the world class Australian alternative and progressive rock scene. Beginning life as a column in quarterly rock and metal magazine ‘Heavy Mag’, TAA quickly became a Facebook page with a steadily growing following. Early 2013 saw it expand into radio, and it is now heard...

Read MoreAustenland Review
Summary: Single, 30 something Jane Hayes (Keri Russell) is a seemingly normal young woman with an embarrassing secret: she is obsessed with Mr. Darcy (as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice”) and, given no real man can compare, it is ruining her love life. When she decides to spend her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane’s...

Read MoreEMMURE – Slave To The Game (2012) Review
What do you get when you have a group of wannabe gangsters who grew up listening to Limp Bizkit but came late to the rapcore scene and decided to turn to Deathcore? The answer is Emmure. In case you haven’t heard of this band, this is a band that is known for starting fistfights with and spitting on fans purely because they like the music of both The Acacia Strain and Emmure. On one occasion, a man...

Read MoreDVD Review: Parkland
This is an excellent DVD buy/hire/download as it not only explores the four days after the Kennedy assassination, but also is a remarkable look at people under pressure and the forgotten heroes of that day. Based on the book “Four Days In November” this excellent Art-house movie tracks a group of people involved in the Kennedy assassination for your days following the murder. We meet the ER...

Read MoreI See Stars – New Demons (2013) Review
I See Stars’ new album ‘New Demons’ picks up right where their last album (Digital Renegade) left us. The crew delivers us the same mix of electronic (sounds like dubstep at times if you ask me)/metalcore/post-hardcore in which Devin Oliver’s pitch-perfect vocals shine (it’s like he never went through puberty) and Zach Johnson’s breakdowns roar. It is the same blend that has built the...
