ABBE MAY- KISS MY APOCALYPSE
Kiss My Apocalypse is the new album from Abbe May. A completely different beast to her 2011 AMP nominated album, Design Desire, the new album sees minimal guitars with maximum, synth driven doom pop. Karmageddon and T.R.O.U.B.L.E. from the album have been staples at Triple J over the past months.
My Kind Of Scene sum up the album ... "Kiss My Apocalypse is sure to charm the pants right off you. Listen for the ballsy, risk-taking music... listen for the words and the message... listen for one of Australia's finest vocalists... listen for the sex factor. Just don't be surprised if you end up in the shower afterwards, with or without a cigarette."Abbe plays a string of dates across the country starting on June 1st at The Prince Of Wales in WA -
Kiss My Apocalypse is out May 10.

ELECTRIC HORSE-ALBUM REVIEW
"It’s been a long journey for the guys at Electric Horse.
Having started up back in 2009 and gigging pretty heavily over the last few years, on headline tours and supporting the likes of Grinspoon, the band have kept themselves very busy, especially the Brown brothers who were once a part of Queensland heavy metal band Sunk Lotto.
Now after years of hard work, the Gold Coast rockers are releasing their first full length LP, Venomous. Sticking to the same hard and fast rock ‘n’ roll that they have been playing for the past few years, the band have delivered one hell of a fist pumping record that won’t disappoint.
Though the album gets off to a slow start with opening track “Rasputin”, the strong drum beats and soaring vocals make it a powerful one at that.
That same raw power continues throughout the entire album in an unrelenting surge of driving distorted guitars and thumping drums with grooving bass lines, a sound somewhat similar to that of Aussie rock legends Grinspoon.
The title track off the album keeps the fist pumping rock cranking with a slightly more melodic yet still hard song complete with a nice little breakdown thrown in for good measure.
As the album wraps up on another slower and acoustic number in “Vacant Skies”, there is definitely a good sense of satisfaction with this one.
The whole album is one very complete and fantastic effort from the Gold Coast band that should gain them many more fans."

THE GROWL
What Would Christ Do? Is the debut, long player from West Aussie rockers, The Growl.
The 5 piece have had a fairly speedy rise to prominence since their first live show in 2010. They have spent the first part of 2013 opening for fellow Fremantle band Tame Impala both here in Australia and across the USA and Canada, winning new fans along the way off the back of their aggressive, relentless live performances.
As individuals they have musical careers spanning the past six years, playing in various bands in and around Fremantle, WA’s musical hotbed. Frontman, Cameron Avery can be seen playing drums for Pond and the other members play with various friends in other bands, contributing to the thriving musical community in Freo.
“Dynamic front man Cam Avery led his swamp rock outfit The Growl during a spirited performance in the opening slot. It was a full-blooded set swimming in visceral energy.” The Music.com
In April The Growl return home from their Tame Impala shows for a run of headline shows around Australia in support of the release of What Would Christ Do?
What Would Christ Do? is out April 12
