Soundwave 2010

No doubt everyone is talking about how amazing next year's line-up is, so here's my two cents/who I'm the most stoked to see:

Faith No More - one of the greatest bands of the last few decades. Even if you're not a fan you should come along and witness a piece of musical history.

My Chemical Romance - say what you want about the music, band can put on one hell of a show. BRING ON THE PYRO

AFI - their live show is legendary, their back catalogue is practically flawless. What more could you want?!

Paramore - if you claim to not enjoy their sugary pop hits you're either a liar or a dickhead. Either way, I'm keen

Alexisonfire - this band has never played a bad set in my opinion. Their first show in Melbourne was on a 40 degree day @ The Espy and it still stands out as one of my favourite live experiences.

Sunny Day Real Estate - before guyliner and shit hair was synonymous with emo, these guys gave the genre and its unfortunate name some credibility. Don't miss them

The Get Up Kids - one of my favourite bands will be here celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their seminal record, "Something To Write Home About". On course to be one of the highlights of the fest!

Meshuggah - heaviest band I've ever seen. Period.

All Time Low - recent visitors to our shores on the Take Action Tour, these guys are water-tight live and good dudes to boot. Expect large amounts of pogo.

A Day To Remember - if you're on this site you probably own their awesome "Homesick" record. If you missed them last year with Parkway Drive, don't make the same mistake again. DADADADA DADA...

Clutch - southern rock legends. Smoke out and rock out

Isis - another of my all time favourite bands on this mammoth bill. If you don't own the classic Oceanic you're probably a fuckwit.

Gallows - best thing to come out of the UK since Maiden. Angry, ginger and sure to impress

A Wilhelm Scream - fast, technically precise and enjoy a drink or two. Strung Out for a new generation.

Emarosa - helium vocals and delay pedals ahoy!

The Weakerthans - great band. More stoked because my good friend Brad will be over the moon.

Anvil - the stars of the greatest rockumentary since Spinal Tap. Cannot wait to see Lips & co in action

Four Year Strong - better beards than you and then can rock a Third Eye Blind cover like no-one's business.

Baroness - John Dyer Baizley has done the art for most of your favourite bands. Return the favour by watching his own musical creation
