This is some seriously underrated shit. I wasn’t in Melbourne when they played but I heard it was not well attended and that makes me sad.
They’re kind of like the British Sinaloa. Which is another band (I think?) that’s not together any more. What I’m trying to get at is emo is dead to me now.
I meant to post this when Loma Prieta came to town and I was really excited about Melbourne Screamo but then I forgot. They played with Loma at the Gasometer (RIP) and it was probably the best set at the show because they didn’t have vocals for Loma’s slot which was weird. And because Edison is really good live. I’m not sure if they’re still around, I can’t find a Facebook for them and my visa ran out so I don’t live in Melbourne any more.
We’ve had CELESTE on here before, ex-Mihai Edrisch members, et cetera et cetera. CELESTE keeps getting darker and darker every record and normally I’m not into the super heavy shit but they pull it off and you should really give these guys a listen if you have ignored them for the past five or whatever.
P.S. Worldpolice is never dead.
We took a brief hiatus from new releases we like to “classics” we like. HRSTA for all of you who aren’t familiar is a project from Mike Moya. He left GY!BE (and then came back when they got back together). HRSTA uses a lot of whispery thin vocals and unconventional sounds, like mock-theremins with a screwdriver on the fretboard of a guitar. Unfortunately it looks like they’re on a bit of a break.

We’ve featured Olafur before and filed him under “people our age who make us feel shit about ourselves.”
Likely you’ve heard of him if you’ve listened to anyone name drop post rock groups or are into Neo-Classical at all.
This collection of songs was recorded over a period of seven days where he recorded one song in his living room a day. You can hear the floor boards creak if you’re listening closely enough.
world police and friendly fire.
