The "Punk Goes Pop" Initiative

I recently came across a cover of Taylor Swift's Blank Space by hardcore band I Prevail. I enjoyed the cover so much that I decided to download the rest of the music this band has made. Half way through downloading I Prevail's first album Heart vs. Mind, I started wondering if this was the reason that artists in the metal and rock scene release covers of pop music.

Does Australia have a Music Festival Crisis?

Over the last few years, the Australian music scene has seen a drastic decrease in live music events and festivals across all genres.

Since 2013, music festivals in Australia have started to sweat out with poor ticket sales and disinterest among previously loyal attendees.

Of Mice & Men: Pain

It seems not even serious medical procedures hitting their frontman can stop the freight train that is Of Mice & Men. Last week a new song was released as a prelude to their late-2016 album, Cold World.

Sorry for the absence

Had a few things happening in my personal life but I’m happy to announce that I’m back with an even bigger drive for this blog!

To celebrate, I’ve written a short review (I’m trying to write with the same word count thats allowed in most magazine articles) of the new Of Mice & Men song, Pain. 

Constructive feedback is always appreciated, thanks lovelies!

Velvet Insane Interview

A few weeks ago I setup a Skype interview with Jonas Eriksson and Jesper Lindgren of Velvet Insane to talk about their achievements, goals and chocolate milk. Jonas (Lead Singer) and Jesper (Founder and Lead Guitarist) make up one-half of the quad-rock-band Velvet Insane hailing from Sweden and are two of the nicest guys I’ve had the pleasure to speak with! Enjoy and don’t forget to check out their latest EP, Break Out Of Eden (https://play.spotify.com/album/5GjrsLNJM5e0RFdDJeBTvQ)

How was the name “Velvet Insane” conceived? Jonas: Well it started when you Jesper were working at a metal factory and I was just walking around wondering about band names… Jesper: yeah and I came up with those two words… ‘Velvet’ was the more soft side and then we got ‘Insane’ which is harder, so it reflects the both sides [of the band]
