FRESH/ CASTAWAY

 They haven't been around for long but this hardcore/punk band are hitting the Brisbane music scene like a punch to the face.

Q+A/ MY POLAROID HOLIDAY

My Polaroid Holiday are a band devoted to the idea that making music should be all about having fun and not much else.

VIRAL/ M.I.A

'Born Free' by M.I.A

M.I.A has an uncanny knack for generating attention and the controversial video for her new single is no exception.

RETRO/ THE STROKES

Room on Fire
(2003, RCA)

Pretentious, self obsessed and utterly phenomenal. The Strokes second album proved that the group had a reason to be so narcissistic.

VIRAL/ DELPHIC

'Doubt' by Delphic

How come we can get behind the mediocre old Presets but we barely pay any attention to Delphic?

ALBUM/ MGMT

Congratulations
(Sony/Columbia)

MGMT make a somewhat anemic and forced return with a less punchy second album.

VIRAL/ CASABLANCAS

'Boombox' by Andy Samberg and Julian Casablancas

The (somewhat) pretentious New York rocker took a chance to take the mickey out of himself by joining with the stars of Saturday Night Live.
