Split System are a five-piece band hailing from Naarm/Melbourne Australia. High energy Aussie garage-punk music tailormade for scumbags, low-lives and gronks. Bridging the gap from the 70s to the 20s. A well oiled machine consisting of members from Stiff Richards, Jackson Reid Briggs & the Heaters, Speed Week & No Zu, Split System are a live show not to be missed. The band’s Debut album 'Vol.1' was released in late 2022 via Legless Records (AUS) and Drunken Sailor (UK/EU).
Body Maintenance return with their first full length offering Beside You. Following on from their cold, chorus-drenched debut 12” EP from 2021, the Melbourne/Naarm outfit channel the stark characteristics of goth poised between the overarching pop familiarity of new wave. The latest batch of songs from Beside You looks to the light and focuses on both the bleak and dreamy aspects of 80s post punk with heavy nods to The Comsat Angels, The Chameleons, Echo & The Bunnymen. The 12” LP is out on April 7th through Drunken Sailor Records (UK) and through Unwound Records (Australia) on Cassette.
Research Reactor Corp delivers first time australian eggy Garage punk, and kind of forced that style into our Brains with permanent Damage. Try to understand this fast suirqy on Edge Sound or just give a fuck, but in any case you will get smashed with fastness and chaotic string-shots on stage! Billy is the main brain behind the RRC stuff, deeply interwoven with the Australian punk scene.
