Loopieloo Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Im really into my music! Mainly unknown bands such as 'the maine' I was wondering if there are any bands in australia you could recommend which are punk/rock/pop/acoustic! ahaha thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llessur Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Ah, my OH would be much better at this one than I am as she's the Aussie amongst us but have got into a fair bit of Aussie stuff since we've been together. I'm not too hot on the punk side of things but I reckon it's worth giving the following a try. Some are becoming quite well known on the international scene nowadays so you might already be aware... Cloud Control The Jezebels Machine Translation Dappled Cities Angus and Julia Stone Lisa Mitchell Sia Holly Throsby Sarah Blasko Midnight Juggernauts Paul Dempsey I Heart Hiroshima The Grates The Panics The Temper Trap Interestingly, although we're in the UK we have managed to see all but four of the above live in the past three years. I think I'm going to miss the music scene here in Brighton. Also, it's well worth keeping an eye on the following: http://www.soundsaustralia.com.au/ http://www.beat.com.au/ http://www.polyesterrecords.com/ Happy hunting!

JoandJon Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Jimmy Barnes aka the screamer is compulsory listening in Oz He's properly referred to as 'Barnesy' - also part of one of the most amazing pub-rock bands ever, 'Cold Chisel' - simply referred to as Chisel. BTW hubby recently discovered Chisel, and greatly admires their guitar work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambethlad Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Im really into my music! Mainly unknown bands such as 'the maine' I was wondering if there are any bands in australia you could recommend which are punk/rock/pop/acoustic! ahaha thanks One artist I have loved for many years is a bloke called Wally De Backer - he makes recordings with his mates in a shed at his parents place at Balnarring on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. The music is released under the name "Gotye". He makes brilliant quirky heartfelt music. I loved a song he released called "Hearts A Mess" about ten years ago. But recently through a series of lucky breaks a top American music executive heard a song he made called "Somebody I Used To Know" and released it in America. .It went to number one on the American Billboard - only the 5th Oz artist to achieve this. Guess he will be moving out of his folks place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
