“I’m a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide. I write down-and-out pop songs. I write songs about every job that I do.”

He is Craig Dermody, well, he writes down-and-out pop songs exactly like Parquet Courts. Bored, melanholic, sometimes angry, simple, beautiful

Craig’s band is Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987. Anyway 3rd album Mid Thirties Single Scene will be released in September by Fire Records (UK).

Here is a Beastie Boys cover from a brand new EP, and the Footscray Station (Wikipedia) from the first album.

woodboot 7″ on total punk

A new Aussie quartet with members of such great garage bands as UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver, Constant Mongrel, School Of Radiant Living, Eastlink, Russell Street Bombings, Lower Plenty, The Backstabbers – maybe you know some – and Xanthe Waite sings one of Mick Harvey’s Gainbsbourg album.

TERRY has been formed after a Total Control US tour in Mexico City in 2015 when two couples have decided to start a simple and charming pop band that could tour and vacation together. But more telling about that „simple and charming pop” that The Rebel (ex-Country Teasers) is chosen to play with them on their first show in London. And good like Parquet Courts is.

Debut album on Upset The Rhythm (UK)

Synth punk Primitive Calculators have started in 1978 in same place and same time than the Birthday Party. After a single they relocated to London, in same time than the Birthday Party, and promptly broke up in 1980. But there was a post-split-up single under the name of  Zye Ye Ye in England in 1981. The first album was released in 1980. And there was a film Dogs in Space in 1986, in it they play Pumping Ugly Muscle. Also a single was released. Then they have reformed in 2009 at the request of Nick Cave for the first All Tommorrow’s Pary in Australia. Second album The World Is Fucked was released in 2013.

A compilation album from 2005

Russian band uSSSy originally played noise-rock with elements of blues, techno and black-metal. By the third album of the band they became a drum’n’guitar duo, and development of the band went in the direction of Middle Eastern music. The unique sound of the band is the result of use of a specially modified baritone guitar, which were mounted additional quarter-tone frets, just as those made by Middle Eastern instruments. In 2014 Artem has left the band. Pavel continuous to play by his own as Holy Palms.

A digital compilation album out now by Aussie label Tenzenmen: noise-rock with elements of blues, techno and black-metal and Middle Eastern tunes. Frenetic
