Hi poppet!
I was having a discussion yesterday about Aussie music and how there don't seem to be many breakthrough bands from down under. Do you guys listen to "aussie" music or do you get the same imported shit from Merca that we do?

There are no* good bands to come out of Australia
*Mr Boyce will now provide a list of three alright bands which will probably include at least one band who could also be considered British.

I popped on a minidisc the other day that i found in a draw, it had a Powderfinger Album on it
which was average

I read that as 'I pooped on a minidisc the other day'

1. The Saints (70s punk classic I'm Stranded is a superb bit of Stooges ripping-off)

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 22 Jan 2013, 9:41, Reply)

2. 60s garage punk legends The Missing Links made several classic 45s
I particularly recommend 'Rich With Nothin'

3. Wolfmother's first LP is great, they were a good live act too

I am surprised by this post
I thought you would fall into the "wolfmother is a complete rip off merchant" camp
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 22 Jan 2013, 9:46, Reply)

I have no problem with complete ripoffs as long as they do a decent job of it
Airbourne* are effectively an AC/DC tribute act and good for them, I say.


*Australians

I disagree with this opinion online.
I'll let you have the other two though.

I don't dispute that.
I merely enquired as to their ethnicity.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jan 2013, 9:47, Reply)

I don't see how that should affect your enjoyment of their music you terrible racist
