Chiddy Bang are Back

Another Gem for your enjoyment, Chiddy Bangs’s freshest track “All things go” again sees some more progressive hip hop – a current trend in America that seems to be taking off (Kid Cudi, Drake). The sound is refreshingly original and I anticipate big things for these boys to come.

Chiddy Bang - All things go

Fresh New Tunes - Summer Feeling

Is it just me or does one appreciate tunes a hell of a lot more when basking in the glorious rays of the sun? Well the Midnight Juggernauts newest tune ‘this new technology’ obviously gets the thumbs up and not only because it sounds good while you are soaking up some essential vitamin D. Their latest track is reminiscent of the Beatles and is a tune which arguably forces a smile from cheek to cheek.

The Midnight Juggernauts - This new technology

Miami Horror have also released a new (ish) single called "Sometimes". This song is plagued with that summer feeling, days spent idilly on the beach, sipping beers on the rooftop and rocking out to many a house party. Enjoy.

Miami Horror - Sometimes

Happy Birthday!

Surprise!

The Generationals - When They Fight

Love.

Crunch Time

“Crunchy” seems the most suitable word to describe this particular mix. Crunchy as in a NFL linebacker breaking the spinal column of a Wide receiver. Crunchy as in your jaw shattering as it makes contact with Tyson’s haymaker, Crunchy as in………well it’s best you decide……….Enjoy getting loose to this one.

Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See (Busta Rhymes) - Valerna Remix

Timing Is Everything

...so one more week of wait is probably worth it for this gem (Phrazes For The Young now pushed back to Nov 3rd).

Julian Casablancas - River of Breaklights

Julian's The Eraser?

I ate your chocolate.

Another Phoenix Remix?

Made the Grade’s hyperdrive has just been engaged and the tunes are flowing as fast as the vino would at one of Bacchus’s feasts. This time however, Shuttle from Passion Pit has deservedly served up the goods. His work sees a collaborated effort with French Electro-Rock stars Phoenix to produce a mix of “Love is like a Sunset”.

The remix incorporates the soothing vocals of Phoenix’s lead singer Thomas Mars and is accompanied with some solid drum beats whilst having some fairly heavy base lines dropped in all for good measure.

This particular mix comes off sounding pretty dancy without being overly heavy to induce frothing at the mouth and seeing as Phoenix were overseeing this particular project one can not help but to appreciate the joint venture even more.

Love is like a Sunset – Phoenix (Shuttle remix)

Don't fix my... Freelance Whales

It's pretty easy to overlook the next indie buzz band/Brooklyn art heroes to come out of the hype machine. And yes. They are one of those bands with a mandolin. But don't be fooled. Freelance Whales are actually the real deal.

Somewhere, someone described them as like "Arcade Fire for your little sister". I'm not quite sure. But they do exude a ceratin fragility. Each song executed with a delicate precision that kind of reminds me the Postal Service. Here is a pair from their debut EP, Weathervanes.

Freelance Whales - Generator ^ First Floor

Freelance Whales - Generator ^ Second Floor

If you're a fan, check out "Starring" on their myspace (may explain the Postal Service reference). Great, great tune.

Edit: Actually i've worked out something called imbed. Huh? For your convenience.

Love.

Summer of Love?

Yes. It is here. Listen.

Down, down baby, down by the rollercoaster. Sweet, sweet baby, i'll never let you go...

The Drums - Let's Go Surfing

... and if you like... some more pleasure.

The Drums - I Felt Stupid

Um, well, you know. It's an altogether new thing.

one one !! !!!!1111!!!th dimension

I'm about 10 blogs years behind (which is like 2 days in rl).
The Strokes made indie rock cool and this first taste of lead singer Julian Casablanca's solo efforts is a definite winner. Can't wait to here this out!

Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension

Happiness is a SS/VW start to Summer

There is no better way to kill the post weekend/parklife downer with two artists with new songs which always bring a smile to my face.

Vampire Weekend - Horchata or from www.vampireweekend.com

Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul (I'm loving the new sound)

All i can think of is bring on the end of uni/start of summer!

It's Bigger Than Hip Hop...

Is anything really bigger than hip hop? Probably yes. But anyway, here's two bangin' tracks to get you through those Sunday afternoon blues.

Whoever decided to team Ratatat and MGMT with KiD CuDi is a fukin genius. Killer tune, big chill.
Also, Kanye blogged about it. It must be good. Except he's a douche. Talk about stepping on a kitten....

KiD CuDi ft. MGMT & Ratatat - Pursuit of Happiness

Second, your own personnel double-decker bus ride through New York City.

Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out, everybody ride her, just like a bus route...

Um yeah, about that Jay-Z. Anyway, theme song to my summer.... i'll see you there.

Introducing Delorean

Well today is that one day of the year you can talk like a pirate and not be classed as a social misfit.

"Ahoy there. Excuse me, madam, would you please be so kind as to bring me a spot of rum? I would like to have a drink.”

Apart from being international talk like a pirate it is also madethegrade's 1st birthday. Happy birthday mtg! I nearly love this place as much as all the liquid children I've rubbed out on a lonely Friday night watching the hot chicks on Two and a Half Men. Just Jokin hahahhaa I don't watch Two and a Half Men (and love this place way more).

On a slightly more serious note I've been very lazy lately and thankfully there has still been some awesome tunes round these parts.

Moving onto more exciting things ever since I heard the Delorean remix of Mystery Jet's Half in Love with Elizabeth I have been wondering when will Delorean's summery take on music grace my ears again. Thankfully they recently released their 4th album entitled Ayrton Senna ep. wankfork have given this a 8.4 and I on this occasion concur. Overall I think Pitchfork keep it real however too often they jump on their musical elitist high horse and go for a ride.

Moving on from winter Delorean are the perfect soundtrack to get you into the summer time vibes. They have the crisp sound of Phoenix but with a more lo-fi dance take on things like Air. Unlike air though they are definitely more dance floor suited and should be getting some some DJ lovin.

You can find some Delorean on Modular's latest offering of Leave them all behind 3. Right here.


Delorean - Deli

Delorean - Big Dipper

Maybe Spanish Beach House is the New French House. Peassssssssssssssssssssss

In Search Of.........Miike Snow

This is by no means any exaggeration, but Miike Snow has been one of the most impressive acts this year. Simply put their sound is as addictive as Pringles coated in crack and there latest track “In search of” continues to do the band justice. Right from the opening piano loop one can’t help but pay attention to these funky European maestros. Just take my word for this. These guys are awesome.

In Search Of - Miike Snow

Masters of the Mix

So it’s been a while since I have made a post, and to all of my avid fans I humbly apologise, but upon hearing this latest mash up by the Hood Internet I decided to dust of my beloved keyboard and set my digits to the motions of what they now call “touch typing”.

It was then that I turned to my trusted Good news Bible and upon reading its teachings sought to characterise myself towards the most noble Good Samaritan “it was declared by the divine that I shall share my treasures for all, to sacrifice selflessness, so that the descendents of Abraham can place their dirty mitts upon the riches within” {Book of Jules 21:3}.

This latest mix cleverly incorporates Boyz Noize’s “Jeffer” with ultra paced American rapper Twista. While the start of the song appears to sound rather soft it doesn’t take long to evolve into a heaving mash of fast paced lyrics and stylised synthetic noises which one of my brothers would eloquently describe as sounding “inorganic” (Thanks can also be attributed to “the cave of Nelson” for this philosophical thought). Till next time……

Weffe and Jeffe (Twista vs Boyz Noize) - The Hood Internet

The Sound Of Arrows

So i've been pretty selfish of late and have been keeping this one close to my chest/i'm too lazy to blog about it. But anyway, it's pretty rad. A big fat slice of widescreen pop perfection.

The Sound of Arrows are a duo from Gävle, Sweeded who were born after trying to make a Christmas song by sampling a Children’s choir from Youtube (pretty indie hey!). Their album, "Puzzles and Wonders" is due out this Spring. Woo, yeah.

Anyway, if you like check out this vid for their latest single - i think you'll understand the widescreen pop reference. And into the clouds...

The Sound of Arrows - Into the Clouds (Music video)

Also, a slight nod to a certain Parisian duo but a fukn bangin' tune nonetheless.

The Sound of Arrows - M.A.G.I.C

Thank you Neon Gold.

Trip down Memory Lane

It seems a while since we were being jumped by ice addicts, having long necks smashed on our craniums and hearing the dull sound of knuckles connecting to cheek bones but all the memories come flooding back upon hearing Jamie T’s newest tune “Chaka Demus”.

Like the majority of Jamie T’s ballads, this one doesn’t disappoint, with his recognisably funky base line and cheeky lyrics this lad is going to blow minds when he tours Australia in the next few weeks, let’s just hope shit doesn’t get as out of hand as his last outing. Cheers Jamie, smash one for us.

Chaka Demus - Jamie T

I Swear It's True!

Do you ever have that guilty pleasure? Something you know that you probably shouldn't like but you probably do?

Anyway i've been listening to this song. It's fukn awesome. But i kinda feel that i shouldn't like it. It's not hip, it's not edgy and it hasn't been ridden by the wave that is the hype machine.

Regardless, it is one helluva tune. One that you jam in the car even though everyone else sitting at the lights thinks that you're some kind of mental patient on Red Bull and Stillnox. More commonly known as a "gimp". As my younger brother would eloquently put it.

But then again when was cool actually cool? Probably not since Weezer have been around.

I hope you enjoy this as much as i do. Because really, isn't that what it's all about?

Weezer - I Want You To

And if you're wondering if i want you to. Yes, i want you to.

Mmm... Humbug

So i bought the new Arctic Monkey's album the other day. Yes, bought it. Rare, i know.

Anyway, i fukn love it. As much as Whatever...? Maybe not quite yet... but time will tell.

I think that the Monkeys are always best when they're not trying too hard to belt out some frantic beast of a song but rather let the charm and wit reveal itself with each additional listen. It's got something lacking in most releases these days... style.

Here's two of my favourites. Slower, moodier but just as clever.

Arctic Monkeys - Secret Door

Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone

Humbug may not make too many new fans but it's definitey worth the effort. Definitely.

Give it a shot.

Kiss of Life

Monday mornings. Everyone loves them. The failure of the alarm clock, the attempt to cram as much breakfast in your mouth as quickly as possible, the rush to the station to then angrily swear as your train pulls out just as you approach the bottom of the escalator. Life can suck sometimes, but fortunately with the aid of music, most things seem to become better and less dreary then the mundane cycle which many people associate as ‘living’. Kiss of Life by Friendly Fires is one such track which has throngs of adults and kids alike jamming on trains, at home or even the local police station on a reckless Saturday night. The combination of drumming, singing, humming and chanting, further enriched with an euphoric entourage makes this tune a must for any occasion. Have a good week!

Kiss of Life - Friendly Fires

The tunes are coming thick and fast and the latest effort from Miike Snow is no exception. MS’s most recent remix of Peter, Bjorn and John’s “It don’t move me” not only builds on the original, but amazingly manages to offer a more enlightened experience. The coolness of Peter Moran’s voice backed with Miike Snow’s addictively simple beats seems to get the best of any spectator. Very cool.

Peter Bjorn & Johns - It Don't Move Me (Miike Snow remix)- Highly recommended

These Girls fall like Dominoes

So upon Listening to the J’s this morning, with a decent surge of caffeine now making its way through my system, I was taken back by what seemed like the catchiest chorus that I have heard in a while. The Big Pink are a new electro rock band that have started to make ground in the UK and their new song “Dominoes” is one which I can hypothesis to be played at many a destination. It reminds me of a typical Saturday night. Keep it safe.

The Big Pink - Dominoes

Southbound/ Falls Festival

So some lad hacked the falls festival website and found the lineup!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Moby, Hilltop Hoods, Grizzly Bear, Xavier Rudd, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Editors, The Temper Trap, Sarah Blasko, Midnight Juggernauts, Little Birdy, Major Lazer (Sound System), Seasick Steve, Emiliana Torrini, White Rabbits, Chairlift, Art vs Science, Yves Klein Blue, Urthboy, Liam Finn, Andrew Bird, Lisa Mitchell, Lyrics Born, The View, Future Of The Left, Kaki King, Patrick Watson, King Khan & The Shrines, DJ Yoda, Philadelphia Grand Jury

Good to see my wonderful girlfriend (she doesn't know she is my girlfriend yet) Lisa Mitchell is coming along. I <3 LM. Also the Temper Trap should (be) impress(ive) and new midnight juggernauts would be a treat for the ears. As always the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will RAWK!
Interesting

Lifelike Summer Bliss

Mid week shenanigans. It used to be the best time of the week at school and University; however opinions radically change in the workforce, especially when you still have 2 more days to the weekend. However by being more optimistic, you’re over half way there, so in retrospect everyone should be happy. This new remix by Lifelike represents this passing of time and the time to come till summer. The song reeks of sun, epic house parties and sleazy banter…………Enjoy. J out.

Everyday - Killa Kela (Lifelike remix)

Mistake

All you need to know about twilight. Clicky Click.

You never felt this lost before. And the world is closing doors. I never wanted anything more.

Moby - Mistake (Lifelike Remix) <-- Dark, Hard Hitting, Ziggy Stardust sound = I Like

Bloody Beetroots

1..........2........... Woop... Woop. At last the Venom mask wearing Italian Hardcore DJ's have graced Australia's sandy shores. The Bloody Beetroots have played in multiple cities across the coast and have caused more then a riot at their gigs. One of their newest releases "Warp 1-9" is a chronically epic assault on the senses. The sounds are so desensitising on the drop that one can not fully appreciate what they have to offer on the first listen. It's addictive and is the future of hardcore house. Cause a Ruckus.

Bloody Beetroots - Warp 1.9 (Highly Recommended)

Apricot Rail Album Launch

Apricot Rail release their self titles debut album tonight at Mojos. Their sound has been described by some as the music to accompany a time-lapse Belgian art-house film about clouds or migrating ducks. I just think their music takes you to a nicer place. Should be a good night.

Apricot Rail - 'Pouring Milk Out The Window'

What I've Been Listening To

Here are some pretty decent tunes that have been getting much love in a house on a street in a town i'm from. Something for everyone. Maybe.

I bought a pair of jeans the other day. Came with some free tracks for download. Does that give jeans cred? Would you buy jeans that had music in them/on them/under them? What if music came with free jeans for download? Something to think about.

Anyway, didn't expect much at all. Pleasantly surprised. From a band called Pets. They're from Storsveden, Sweden - if you didn't know. Kind of upbeat indie-pop that reminds me of the best bits of Sesame Street. Check out their myspace if you're a fan.

Pets - Don't You Say Your Heart's Broken

Thanks also to two friends. One's tall and trying to get big. The other is already big and trying to get tall (check out frindsofben). The tall one showed me this track. We put it one repeat and drove up and down George Street on Saturday night. It was fun.

Notorius B.I.G. - Party & Bullshit (Ratatat Remix)

The big one showed me this pretty sweet guy way before it was cool to like Jewish hip-hop/reggae. His new song is a cracker. Let's have a J.

Matisyahu - One Day

Finally, one for the weekend. Actually, i'm a student, so basically this means any day of the week. Sucked in 9-5. Will probably drive up and down King Street with this one on Saturday night. A bit more edgy than Biggie. Maybe it's the Brooklyn based, Warp Records influence you can hear in the background if you listen close enough. Sorry i'm a bit late with this one. I'm selfish.

Two Weeks Of Hip Hop (Dead Prez Vs Grizzly Bear) - The Hood Internet

Enjoy. Love.

Wolf and Cub- All Claws Out

Wolf and Cub's newest album 'Science and Sorcery' quite simply put, is a very compelling piece of work. The psychedelic rock act's newest album has been reinforced with a range of unique sampling and drum pieces which combine to create an exhilarating experience. 'The Loosest of Gooses' is a fast paced and in your face track. One may wonder why this tune has such a peculiar title, but upon hearing it, it will no doubt become obvious why Wolf and Cub picked the aptly named title. A true let's get smashed and kick on anthem. Good times to be had.

The Loosest of Gooses - Wolf and Cub (Highly Recommended)

Middle East Magic

There is no doubt about it. The Middle East are all about creating the magic. Although their music may be frustratingly hard to get into, once you have nestled down between the comforting layers of musical genius, it is unlikely that you are going to budge for a while. Their sound can only be described as sounding fairly similar to Sigur Ross and Iron and Wine and their dreamy like lyrics and captivating melodies all but help entice you to lay back after a hard day and soak up the refreshingly soothing sounds.

Lonely is an epic song, it goes for around 7 minutes, but please try and stick it out, because once you do, you will instantly become a fan. The simple guitar riffs, soothing vocals and use of soft percussions gradually build to a truly orgasmic point. The fruits of Middle East's labours have truly paid off.

Lonely - The Middle East

Miike Snow

Miike Snow comprise of Swedish duo Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg who together with American singer Andrew Wyatt make a blend of dark, crisp, electronic pop. They will lull you into a sense of security with their warm electronic sounds however melancholy and sombre themes filter through. The stark contradictions don't disappoint. Who ever thought the dark side would would sound so pleasant and inviting ..............I'd change shapes just to hide in this place but im still, im still an animal.

Thanks to Radarmaker.co.uk for the single.

Miike Snow - Animal

New Discovery Jams

New Tunes from Discovery. Discover Discovery
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Basement Kick Ass Jaxx

So there was this epic house party on the weekend where the el vino did flow, which also had its own underground club. I'm pretty sure the majority of the Eastern suburbs were jamming at home since the beats at this particular house where so epically phat. The Dj that played as yet has no name but congratulations for putting on such a kick ass show. One of the tunes that made witnesses wet themselves in delight at the classy underground club which is to be known as "el Fritzl" has been given to you for your aural pleasure.

The original of "Where's your head at" was a huge hit back in the day, this revamped version has been jacked up and sounds like Basement Jaxx on roids. Something tells me another set will be played sometime soon...........stay tuned.

Where's your head at - Klass remix (Basement Jaxx)

Magistrates - Heartbreak

The sexually charged lads from Magistrates are back in town with their latest single "Heartbreak". Launching tomorrow. You can grap the Heartbreak EP on itunes.
Definitley could see myself getting down to this! much love Sarah!

Magistrates - Heartbreak

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

If you listen to Triple J, over the last couple of days you would of heard the fourth offering from French funksters Phoenix with "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix". Firstly I'm ashamed to say I have never listened to Phoenix previously despite the name popping up all over the place with much praise. Despite this short coming (I have many more but that's another story) I'm a happy fucking chappy after finding one of my favourite album's of the year!


Phoenix craft a pop friendly sound which doesn't stray too far off the beaten track however still sounds crisp and refreshing. It's reminiscent of those "a moment of schweppervesence" adverts (Fuck TV is brainwashing me) it's highly embraceable, clean and energetic however never leaving you with a desire to vomit up a rainbow after indulging. Lisztomania and 1901 are both two of the best songs I've heard all year and the rest of the album lives up the the high standard. They combine numerous sounds without loosing the simplicity which makes them so approachable and never cross over to the tedious and tiresome from the refreshing and energetic. They headed over to Sydney and Melbourne in the near future for some shows and we've hit up their management to see if they would like to come via Perth hopefully (there is always hope). No matter the outcome check out the Album as it's synth filled indie pop at it's best!

Phoenix - 1901

Grab the saycet remix over at Ohh! Crapp!

Buy Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix @ Amazon

El Skeletor Hombre

Sup peeps? Without any time to waste we have provided you with Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy. For anyone planning on watching a live performance of Friendly Fires, these guys are rumoured to be amazing and their music apparently translates incredibly well when performing a live set. The catchiness of their tunes is unfathomable. The mix of electronic rock with a subtle blend of Indy infusion catches ones attention after the first play. I for one can't wait to see them live.

Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy

Jamie T - Sticks n Stones

I don't think i've ever seen one man and a bass guitar create such a fukn ruckus as the aforementioned troubadour. After a long time between drinks Jamie T is set to release a new EP towards the end of next month. The first track, Sticks n Stones, brings back good memories, some not soo good (see gettingbottledintheparkafterthegig.com) and a fair amount of hype surrounding the rest of the new tracks. The track hits out from where the last album finished off; frantically paced, shouty verses and a good ol' sing'a'long. To the better nights in life...

Jamie T - Sticks n Stones (Explicit Version)

And one for the next morning...

Jamie T - A New England

Radiohead & Rap. Really???

Sup y'all? Its nearly the end of the week and I bet many are gurning for some weekend escapades. Anyways being the generous folks we are at Made the Grade, we have provided another song by Chiddy Bang to get your weekend off to a flying start. This particular song sees a mix involving the omnipotent Radiohead. Who would have ever thought rap could be mixed with these iconic rock star legends. Well apparently Chiddy Bang have proven otherwise. Enjoy and don't forget to spread the word.

Chiddy Bang feat Radiohead - Becuase

Kasabian - Fire

Kasabian - Fire from Kasabian on Vimeo.

Kasabian - Fire . . . . . . . I'm on Fiiiiiiiirrrreeeeeeeeeeeee . . . It's rockin.

Kasabian have a new album coming out titled West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum. It's due out in early June. Can't fucking wait!

DATA - Blast from the Past

It seems many a millennia since we have been graced by the electronic synths of Data. But fear not, they have emerged from the depths and appear fresher and more exuberant than ever. If you're like us or like a fair majority of the populace on mother earth and music does get you excited, particularly electronica, then Data's new track "One in a Million" is definitely a tune not to miss. Their newest song can only be marked by that of a band with experience. A mix of catchy vocals and pacey beats, encouraged by some funky synth lines, again helps emphasise the prominent presence which Data once held in the electronic world. This song will banging out of many a house party to come and is definitely one to keep an eye out for.

Data - One in a Million

Passion Pit + Discovery

Yay. weekend.

No better way than to kick if off with some bangin new tunes.

First off. Passion Pit. The debut, Manners, is due out in the land of Oz in 2 weeks. With some mass hype surrounding its release, on the back of two kick-arse singles (Sleepy Head and The Reeling) i have fairly fukn high expectations. Something tells me this will be one big album. Here's two of the tracks for your aural pleasure. Thankyou Passion Pit.

Passion Pit - Little Secrets

Passion Pit - Moth's Wings

Secondly. Discovery. Part Ra Ra Riot. Part Vampire Weekend. Two bands that have much much love around these parts. Osaka Loop Line is dreamy layers. autumn walks through the park. running late in the morning. the one that got away.

The album is due out later this winter.

Discovery - Osaka Loop Line

Enjoy.

Marble Archers

So i got handed this demo from a friend. He said he knew the band or something. He said they were called Marble Archers. And he liked them. So do i. Maybe you will too?

After recently recording a few demo's in a small inner Sydney studio Marble Archers are setting out to fuck with minds, hearts and your girlfriends. yes, they are a decent looking bunch of lads i must say.

Stowaway ebbs and flows, the guitar lines gently weaving through an at times, almost manic drum beat. guitar effects are used in perfect proportions, with thought and emotion, but never overdone. The songs strengths lies in the vocals, which are able to pull you in for just long enough before they drift, seemingly effortlessly, back into the landscape of sound. it is probably for these reasons why the play count on my i'tunes reads 14 after just 1 day.

Rumour has it these guys will be doing a number of shows in Sydney, and possibly other major cities before the years end. if you get a chance, catch them. just a word of advice.

Enjoy the weekend. b2.

Marble Archers - Stowaway (Demo)

Who do you want to be?

So i'm going nuts. really. i hate words. 8000 of them. well not really. just at the moment.

This makes me feel a lot more sane. Or maybe not.

Anyway, album is out at the moment. Canadian indie goodness.

And emily haines is a babe.

Metric - Gimme Sympathy

Wooster Collective and her awesome blog Poppyvog.

Introducing Two Door Cinema Club

Howdy all,
The nice people over at R A D A R M A K E R have just hooked me up with Two Door Cinema Club's latest single for your listening pleasure. Two Door Cinema Club comprise of three lads out of Northern Ireland who combine to make delectable electro pop ditties. They come across somewhat like a more upbeat version of death cab for cutie but lean more towards a dance floor friendly sound. Something Good Can Work as stated before is easily one of my favourite singles of the year so far and if they can keep it up I'm sure to be thrilled by a debut album hopefully sometime in the future. For all your uplifiting indie pop needs get ya d0wnload on! Enjoy!

MP3: TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - SOMETHING GOOD CAN WORK

Breakfast in Perth
Ever wondered how to kill that hangover that is kicking your ass on a sunday morning? Well how about go get an epic breakfast from a nice cafe or restaurant in Perth. But then after having this genius thought you realise fuck i can hardly get up let alone function. How the fuck am i going to choose a nice place to satisfy my need for tasty food. Well thats when the PBB (Perth Breakfast Bitch) comes into play as she's done all the hard work for you and reviewed some tasty breakfast treats!

Fucking good work Perth!!!

Introducing The Temper Trap

Have you ever had the feeling of breaking out of a repetitive cycle? As one little fixation which has been inhibiting your every thought and keeping you grounded fades into the past. The feeling of pure relief as an inner struggle is conquered is not only empowering, it makes you feel fucking alive and glad to be kicking around on this planet we call Earth. Well Melbourne foursome The Temper Trap achieve this and more with their captivating brand of melancholy indie rock. Their sound is driven by lead singer Dougy's soaring vocals which are sweet but also have an underlying haunting resonance to them. This coupled with melodic, ringing guitars creates a sound which is both empowering and haunting whilst making me feel fucking alive! Here is their latest single Science of Fear live thanks to Radio 1. That voice is truly epic.

You can catch them at V Fest @ the Claremont showgrounds on the 5th of April and their debut album is due out hopefully sometime this year. Enjoy.
