From the ashes of their previous musical venture rose House Of Protection - a genre-blending alternative rock outfit made up of scene staples Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison.

We've been onto DREGG for quite a while now, and the fellas are finally taking their innovative music and performances across Australia for their first ever headline tour! It's hard to describe DREGG's sound, but if you think of hardcore/metal/rap, you're almost there.
Ebony caught up with vocalist Chris Mackertich to chat about how COVID messed up their plans once signing to Epitaph Records, how their art is all about self-expression, and how context is super important.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, this interview is for you then.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When Boston Manor surprise dropped their EP DESPERATE TIMES DESPERATE PLEASURES, oh man, who wasn't excited! Am I right? It comes about a year and a half after their album GLUE and is moody and moshy and just a great present as we emerge into the world on what is hopefully the other side of COVID-19.
Now, it took me a little while to call up frontman Henry Cox because of their American tour schedule, but we managed to squeeze in some time in between shows for a quick catch up!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Following the success of their first outing into horror movie territory, Ice Nine Kills are back for a second serving of The Silver Scream and this time, all bets are off according to frontman/visionary Spencer Charnas who joined Browny, a fellow horror nutter, to take a deep dive into the conception and orchestration of their follow up release, the backstory in the Ice Nine Kills Universe and their wonderful world of horrorcore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Where does one even start with this piece? There is so much to cover in such a short amount of space, yet Jordan Fish and Lee Malia from Bring Me The Horizon had so much to share on upon the release of their latest masterpiece POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR. As the Sheffield band were waking up, we here in Australia had been thrashing the new record all day, so when the time came for Paul 'Browny' Brown's interview with the lads, there was plenty of ground to cover. Take a listen to the chat now!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you haven't been following Amy Shark's rise to fame because you think she's just another pop act made for radio, you need to give yourself an uppercut... actually, give yourself two! Amy's story is not only impressively inspiring, but once you dig deep into her music career and the bands/musicians who inspired it, you'll find you have A LOT more in common with her than you think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Where does one even begin to discuss the impact the band Killer Be Killed has had in Australia? The metal supergroup consisting of vocalists/guitarists Greg Puciato and Max Cavalera, vocalist/bassist Troy Sanders and drummer Ben Koller have released one album (with a second on the way), scored rave reviews around the world within the metal community, and, get this, they've only conducted ONE tour and that was in Australia way back in 2015 for Soundwave Festival + a couple of sideshows. It's so strange that such a globally recognised band like KBK has such a strong connection to Australia, more so than anyone else because of that factor, but we love them just as much for making the effort that year and giving us one of the biggest bragging rights in the world. Join Browny as he chats with Troy all about the band, their highly anticipated sophomore album Reluctant Hero, his year facing COVID in 2020 and which member of the band represents which character on Sex and the City...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
