Download "Bandicoot - Happy Talking EP"

Yet again I find myself posting about a band full of high school kids... that doesn't take away from the fact that Bandicoot are really fucking good. They play spazzy, noisy, punky, pop that is full of energy, with influences like Mint Chicks, King Brothers, Die! Die! Die!, Wu-Tang, HEALTH, At the Drive-In, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Lightning Bolt, and So So Modern, what more would you expect?

Their live shows are quite fun and often have a few hip hop covers thrown in there (which are pulled off surprisingly well.)

With opening Big Day Out 2010, topping the Radioscope National Alt.Radio charts and the 95bFM Top Ten with their single "Emotional and Dirty" and playing at Camups A Low Hum, Bandicoot are doing really well for them selves.

Their new EP - Jurassic Warfare has been freshly released (actually the EP release show is on the night of me writing this, I will be there). Support these young dudes and girl by picking up the EP where you can and attending shows.

Where's Gary's Duvet

Don't know much about this band. What I do know is that the members I have met are good as dudes and that they 'officially' broke up in 08? ot late 07? Where's Gary's Duvet played comedic Ska music, very upbeat and mostly funny, or trying to be funny. Oh they also played my high school ball once.




They released an EP called 'Supplying Alcohol to Minors Since ’04', check it:

Shortlived - Demo '07

I found this release a while back from the Mad Blasts Of Chaos blog, chur :).



Shortlived are form Wellington and play a fast, thrashy style of hardcore. The few times I have seen them live have been intense, loud and fast... The crowd really gets into it. This is a nice 4 track demo that I really cannot get enough of.

Ampere - First Five Years

Ampere came to NZ last year and played a fucking amazing show. I was blown away by how good they were, having not really heard much of their stuff before. So when I got home I downloaded their album called "The First Five Years". Since then I've been listening to it frequently and I still love it. So I decided I'd share the greatness with you lot. wooooooo! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Wasteland Demo

This is Wasteland's (from Hamilton) unreleased demo. It's really good, fast and aggressive. They're also real nice dudes.

I got the tracks from the Mad Blasts Of Chaos blog (check it out, it's really good), but thought I'd make it easier for lazy people by making it into a Zip file and chucking it up on Mediafire.

Ben Clancy(drummer) recently told me they had just finished recording a new CD and will be released next year or something? I can't quite remember. But I do look forward to hearing it. Look out for it. Also look out for Wasteland at a local show/house party. They bring the vibes.

Thrashing In The Streets

Thrashing In The Streets are a thrashy skate hardcore band from Lansing, Michigan, United States(according to their myspace page). I've been listening to them again and remembered how good they are. Then I remembered they had kindly put their discography up for download on their myspace. Lucky for you you don't have to travel all the way over there to get it because you can just download it right now from here. It's well worth downloading.

Wasteland

Wasteland are a Hamilton based Hardcore/Punk band who play a fast, aggressive set which never fails to bring the vibe.. they also cover black flag! :D

they have five tracks which you can download here
