Glassjaw On The Move?

Glassjaw have been fairly dormant years. Since the release of 2003’s “Worship and Tribute” the band had been on hiatus. Promises of a new album were made, and here we are towards the end of 2010 and still no album. Things have been heating up for Glassjaw fans though. The band has been playing shows on and off all year, and a few weeks ago they released their first physical release in years; a new song “All Good Junkies Go To Heaven” on vinyl. This was followed up with a film clip for another new song “You Think You’re (John Fuckin Lennon)”. Follow that with another vinyl release of another new song “Jesus Glue” and yet ANOTHER new video called “Stars” and all signs are pointing to a new release coming very soon.

Enjoy the new videos and head over to glassjaw.com to purchase a digital copy of “All Good Junkies Go To Heaven” for $1.

Recap: Grinspoon Live @ Inferno 9/9/2010

Jack Beats; Dirtier Than a Public School Whore

Wobble, wobble, wobble.
The familiar sounds of “Jack Beats” are slowly breaking onto the Australian market, with dubstep becoming just as popular as the colour black. The Duo “Beni G” and “Plus One”, have pioneered a new branch of British house music, which is filthier than a pregnant 15 year old, and as bad-ass as the last man stading at Revolver.

With a host of remix’s from well known artists such as Passion Pit, Fake Blood, La Roux and a host of others, the duo have created a sound full of wobble, well pitched accapellas and a driving bass line. They are definitely a pair to keep your eye on, having recently signed to “Cheap Thrills” records.

They’re in the country in a few weeks time, playing a string of dates with the ever so popular “Parklife” festival. So get along to see them, and prepare to have your face melted.

Smooth, Chilled & Talented.

There’s something about Bruno Mars that sets him apart from many others in his genre of music. At only 23, this young man has an exceptional amount of talent and thankfully it’s being put to good use. While many follow the commercial and generic route, Bruno Mars sets a standard that really does showcase what he’s capable of doing.

Firstly his song writing ability is quite refreshing, and shows plenty of maturity along with class. Mixing together elements from hip hop, funk, pop, soul and a dash of alternative, it shows how diverse he can be leaving many avenues open for him to explore and take advantage of musically.

His 4 track EP titled “It’s Better If You Don’t Understand”, was greeted with very positive reviews after it’s release in May this year. It showcases all the elements this guy is about and his diversity (and I’m not talking about the old old wooden ship either).

If you find yourself hooked after listening to the EP and want more, don’t fret. He’s expected to release his debut album in October. So make sure to keep an eye out, it shouldn’t disappoint.

Otherwise this talented singer songwriter is one cool cat to keep an eye on.
