Moving Back To Australia

It's been awhile away. Here's some cool Australian releases. If you want to recommend stuff that'd be welcome.

Dead Letter Circus
Dead Letter Circus

Midnight Oil
Blue Sky Mine

It was a short and jocular conversation

Karnivool
Themata

SO PUMPED for their next release. I'm dying over here.

Cog
Sharing Space

Or the New Normal. Theyre both good. Tonight I like this album more though.

Crowded House
Woodface

Fair enough, theyre not completely Australian, and the frontman (and probably most talented) is a New Zealander. Theyre still part Australian, and their music is great pop music.

Powderfinger
Vulture Street

Last album I bought in Australia, also a great one. Awesome artwork too.

Pivot
O Soundtrack My Heart

Great group. electronic math rock is what I would call it, don't know any bands I would compare it to.

Wolfmother
Wolfmother

These guys are AMAZING! It's about time someone did some REAL rock music around here instead of that blink-182 bullshit. It's like Led Zep except Aussie!!!

Eskimo Joe
Black Fingernails, Red Wine

I don't know, I can just always listen to this album. Good rock music. Wolfmother sucks balls.

Hilltop Hoods
The Calling

Hip-Hop with an Australian accent sounds like it will be offputting, but these guys pull it off. Because they are actually very good.

Seekae
The Sound of Trees Falling on People

Interesting little electronic outfit from Sydney I believe. A friend recommended this to me and I love it.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Murder Ballads

Obligatory comment about him being a great songwriter with great lyrics.

Dirty Three
Ocean Songs

I have to be in the mood, but when I am, it's incredible.

Silverchair
Diorama

One of my favourite albums of all time. Chair's best album followed by Neon Ballroom and Young Modern

This is Your Captain Speaking
Storyboard

Great post-rock

Alligator 05.20.09	Some great stuff, I still need to check out the 'vool. HOWEVER! an aussie list with no living end makes me so so sad!
Mordecai21 05.20.09	nice. Studying or working? and yeah, Living End are pretty kick ass (although State of Emergency was a bit watered down dont u think?)
Streetvulture 05.20.09	I used to like the Living End, not so much anymore though. Still give them a spin sometimes though.
Streetvulture 05.20.09	Just finished High school there. waiting on exam results then applying to a few NSW universities.
StreetlightRock 05.20.09	Oh you know Pivot you are true blue. If you can catch them live, DO IT, they are the most intense live act on the face of the planet.
kitsch 05.20.09	love ...like electrocution!
Streetvulture 05.20.09	Streetlight: I reallyreally want to, I've heard many good things.
StreetlightRock 05.20.09	omg i also didn't notice Seekae on your list you fucking win
Streetvulture 05.20.09	haha dude I was just about to tell you about them, shit.
StreetlightRock 05.20.09	Hell yes, the Australian music scene is bursting at the seams and not even Australians know about its ridiculous http://www.myspace.com/ghoulsydney http://www.myspace.com/burythesound http://www.myspace.com/karoshimusic http://www.myspace.com/ohanamusic http://www.myspace.com/apricotrail http://www.myspace.com/tarcutta http://www.myspace.com/sleepmakeswaves http://www.myspace.com/ttol http://www.myspace.com/meniscusmusic And In fact pretty much anything on the Hidden Shoal label go nuts dude
Mendigo 05.20.09	The Drones, dude!
Streetvulture 05.20.09	cheers, I'll have some fun with those links. Glad SOMEBODY knows seekae
StreetlightRock 05.20.09	lol, i have some obscure connection - I used to be in a high school garage band with the lead singer of Ghoul (the first link), who collaborated on a song with Seekae. Song's called Wool, it's up on the Seekae myspace actually. I really can't tell you how much I love the Australian indie/experemental scene, its like no other in the world.
xNintendoCorex 05.20.09	no one mentioned firekites or my disco.
Streetvulture 05.20.09	Yeah what I've heard of the music out there is great (I'm liking Ghoul) but as I'm way the hell away from Australia and have been for ages, I feel like I'm missing out.
Donchivo 06.08.09	hey, another great auusie-band is Alchemist. A mixture of Pink FLoydesque progressive and avantgarde thrash metal a la voivod, greaaaaaaaaaat band!
PayneTiger777 06.08.09	Dead Letter Circus rules.
Jim 06.08.09	always good to see another powderfinger fan. some seriously awesome albums on this list.
