G'day sput bros! |
tempest--
01.23.14 | it's like 5:15 am LOL
I think there's about 10 that I don't know, sweet list dude m/ |
Mort.
01.23.14 | cool list man
I don't know much aussie music but I do remember them playing stuff on the radio that would not get played in England. |
NightProwler
01.23.14 | Cool list. I would add The Smith Street Band, though. Oh yeah, and also AC/DC, but that's an obvious one |
Kalopsia
01.23.14 | oops, that Dead Star Renegade album should be titled 'Blackwing'.. I'd change it to get the artwork,
but with my luck another 3 would disappear |
SirDrumsalot
01.23.14 | Uh...missing Silverchair!
Even though they aren't around anymore, they still kicked balls! |
InAbsentia
01.23.14 | Dirty Three! |
Kalopsia
01.23.14 | @SirDrumsalot -- I had Silverchair on an early draft on this list, but they seem pretty well known
outside Australia so I took them off. Same with AC/DC and John Butler Trio. I'll put them in Part 2 ;)
if that ever happens haha |
SirDrumsalot
01.23.14 | Oh ok, I'll let it slide this time I guess. |
SitarHero
01.23.14 | Caligula's Horse is sooooo good. I've never been able to get into Circles' vocalist though. :[ |
Dunwich
01.23.14 | The Scientists, man. |
omnipanzer
01.23.14 | I'd ignore 9 on principle, that cover makes them look lame as shit. |
facupm
01.23.14 | AC/DC? |
tempest--
01.23.14 | yea 9 are lame |
Kalopsia
01.23.14 | haha that cover for 9 is laughable, but they have some good tunes. i'd give em a chance at least |
Mort.
01.23.14 | do you enjoy the band known as faker? |
dimsim3478

tempest--
01.24.14 | How did you find all these bands man?
Especially Dead Star Renegade |
zakalwe
01.24.14 | Aus is the greatest country on the planet, on top of that you have Nick Cave, all these are shit, listen to the panics. |
Kalopsia
01.24.14 | @Lloyd, I think I found most (if not all) either through Sputnik, bandcamp, or liking certain bands on facebook and seeing them post about other Aussie groups. Yeah, it's sad DSR only put out one album |
tempest--
01.24.14 | I have most of the members on Facebook, a few of them are in a new band called Sonic Circus, that have released a single recently. |
emprorzurg
01.24.14 | I feel so un-Australian looking at this list and knowing like 3 of these bands |
Kalopsia
01.24.14 | haha no worries man! what 3 do you know? just rec me some that you do know, fair trade city in here |
ScuroFantasma
01.24.14 | Sweet list, needs 'Thy Art is Murder' though |
PistolPete
01.24.14 | This list is gorgeous, it makes me very happy and I will bookmark it bc Australia produces some of the most quality music in the entire world and I must hear more |
Rowan5215
01.24.14 | 1 is fucking fantastic well done man |
Kalopsia
01.24.14 | Rowan you seem to be one of the resident Aussie experts on this site, any similar artists i'm missing
on here? |
VuvuzelaBzz
01.24.14 | Cool list. I'd have included Sadhana, Teramaze, Ennis Tola, Geamala, Deligma and The Sunpilots(though they're based in Germany now). |
Butkuiss
01.24.14 | http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=447370
A similar list I did for a bunch of Sydney acts, in case anyone cares. |
Rowan5215
01.24.14 | @Kalop Well thanks for the compliment bro hehe
Can't think of a single thing you've missed though brother, .hinge and Elora Danan are the most obscure bands I know, except maybe Horsell Common who are a great band |
WhiteNoise
01.24.14 | Violent Soho should be added here, I've really been digging their two records lately.
Oh Yeah and my band, but our EP isn't out yet ;P |
Rowan5215
01.24.14 | Yeah WhiteNoise's band > Australian music tbh |
Calc

Kalopsia

01.24.14 | This is a pretty sweet list. Just heard #7 for the first time and it's awesome. |
Kalopsia
01.24.14 | agree with you there on 7! it was one of my top 5 for 2012 |
Firestarter
01.25.14 | Great list! Heard about 30% of these and they're all pretty good. Props for Mammal, they're probably my favourite Aussie band. Was mortified when I heard they had broken up |
Kalopsia
01.25.14 | hah yeah, I was excited when I first heard Mammal.. then instantly became sad when I subsequently read they broke up |
pbass0
01.26.14 | Thank god there weren't 20 metalcore acts. Nice list |
Kalopsia
01.26.14 | lol thanks man. are there a lot of shitty metalcore bands from australia or something? if so i'm glad i've avoided them |
tempest--
01.26.14 | there are a lot of small local ones, a few big ones like Parkway, IKTPQ, Northlane, etc.
but yeah they suck |
Rowan5215
01.26.14 | Lloyd have you listened to 1 |
tempest--

crowing51
02.14.14 | The Beards are the greatest Aussie band. |
Kalopsia

'You Should Consider Having Sex With a Bearded Man' is my fav by them |
crowing51
