Australian Hardcore

Blog is dead

2010-01-02T18:28:00.003+11:00

This one is dead, lost all my music and my account for mediafire, so no more huge amounts of Aus hardcore. Though I just made a new sick blog, giveusasign.blogspot.com which has all attention over work and study. Enjoy, sorry again. Australian stuff will be up there, promizz

2009-11-10T10:20:00.001+11:00

I've been very busy recently, HSC and all, and I promise today everything I have ready to be put up, will be put up. Fuck the neatness I've been going for, I'll change everything so it's just the link, no 20 minutes spent on a nice layout and all that.

Enjoy yourself

Petrol Powered Goon Bag Holocaust

2009-06-17T16:30:00.003+10:00

This band may be very offensive to some listeners.

PPGBH are a joke aboriginal band (coining 'Abocore') using racist stereotypes in their lyrics. People will find it funny, others will be disgusted. It's obviously not aboriginal, but hey, don't listen to it if you won't like it

Bands and bloggers, please read

2009-06-12T15:42:00.000+10:00

Well, searching around the net, I can't seem to find a good Aussie hardcore blog. So now I'm making this one!

I'll label them by their state, which will help people find bands from their area. It'd be good if you send me demos of rather unknown bands so I can give them some exposure, or just let me know of some bands that you'd like to see up there. Today, June 12th 2009, I'll upload all, if not most of my collection now, which should be a few dozen albums/ep's/splits. I will edit posts so their is one post per band, and post to update what ones I have gotten.

All requests will be carried out, and I will put some New Zealand bands up when I can as well.
Any bands who have a problem with your work being put up, just let me know and I will gladly take it down. But please, keep in mind, you won't stop piracy, as all of the stuff I have gotten is from other blogs, and most of your works I have on vinyl if you've released it off that.

I will post updates of tours as well, and some reviews if I get around to it. So follow, link, comment, whatever. It's all good
