Jye Smith — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:38:55 +0000

One of the best things about my job is working with some really awesome brands, creating amazing opportunities for the music based youth of Australia. Recently, I’ve been lucky enough to work with Red Bull as they launch the Red Bull Bedroom Jam. Amazing fucking opportunities. Jump onto their Facebook, Twitter. CALLING ALL KICK-ASS TEEN [...]

Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More

Jye Smith — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 04:13:15 +0000

Delicate, powerful and hopeful. This is honestly one of the most beautiful albums I’ve picked up in a long time. And if anyone has anything else similar then please send it. And as one review points out – it’s almost an album of too many good tracks! But I’m looking forward to soaking up each [...]

Australian Defence Force: The Reservists

Jye Smith — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:52:08 +0000

“The Army is Australia’s longest running professional musical organisation, employing hundreds ofmusicians across the country.” Director of Army Music, Lieutenant Colonel (LTCOL) Ian Mclean. Jump onto the MySpace of these crew and you hear a really fat cover version of Don’t Hold Back. The rest was non-stop listening for me. Probably the last thing we [...]

I can’t help it if I’m happy. I can’t help it if I’m happy not to be sad.

Stuart McPhee — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:52:12 +0000

Bleeding typical. A guy produces an album with three genuine pop hits in waiting and it is the bonus track cover song that actually gets him the recognition in the mainstream. In a cutthroat industry where I am sure there are less savoury acts one might be asked to perform to get a hit, trotting [...]

Phatchance – Invisible Queen

Jye Smith — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:58:52 +0000

Aussie Alt Hip-Hop Great little clip came into my inbox today. Meet Chance. A very clever and talented guy from Aus who delivers some solid rhymes over funky beats. Really enjoyed his light hearted approach. And the dynamics at the end of the song really stand out. Crowned both a Triple J Unearthed and MYSPACE.COM featured artist [...]

Slipknot Bassist, Paul Grey Found Dead at 38 Paul Grey was found dead this morning at age 38. Drugs are suspected as he’s had a long running problem with both drugs and alcohol.

Head: Save Me From Myself

Jye Smith — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:43:50 +0000

Finally grabbing a copy of Save Me From Myself by ex-Korn member Brian Welch – better known as Head – was a massive step. Korn have been my favourite band since I was about 14, and Head deciding to leave the band once he found God and cited moral reasons for leaving, was almost like [...]

Searching For Fun: Almost Alice & New Young Pony Club

Stuart McPhee — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:10:56 +0000

Because ultimately that is what we all want out of music – some fun. Sure, I like a little dourness every now and then but not when the aim is to cut loose. With this in mind, I can not begin to explain how wide of the mark the faux-soundtrack Almost Alice actually is. Perhaps [...]

The Defamation of Ben Drew

Stuart McPhee — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:24:57 +0000

Back in the early days of The Music Blogs I wrote about the brave choices artists often make, in particular when they leave one band to start another. Ben Drew aka Plan B, though a solo artist, has effectively just done the same thing. Anyone who picked up his startling debut, the 2006 grime-fest Who [...]

Stewart Heys — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:59:47 +0000
