Interviews
Wednesday 13
Creepy horror punk legend Wednesday 13 never sits still for too long. After a series of solo releases and hard touring from 2005, Wednesday jumped back behind the helm of the Muderdolls alongside Joey Jordison in 2009 and releases highly popular album 'Women And Children Last.' With the re-energised Muderdolls project back on the shelf indefinitely, Wednesday has just released his 5th solo album 'Calling All Corpses.' With the new album under his belt, Wednesday is ready to do it all again and is making his way to Australia in March as part of Soundwave Festival. He recently stopped by Killyourstereo to tell us all about it.
The Bride
The Bride are a 5-piece hardcore band from Sydney, one of the most recent additions to the UNFD roster and definitely a band to look out for. With the buzz they have created surrounding their debut full length President Rd, they are definitely a band to keep your eye on. A few days before the album's "official" release, vocalist Kevin Schultz had a chat with Kill Your Stereo about the album, their upcoming tour with House Vs Hurricane, tour rituals and a whole bunch more.
The Getaway Plan
The Getaway Plan has emerged triumphantly from their hiatus with a brand new album and an extensive national tour with Break Even and Gatherer kicking off later this month, and are poised and ready to retake their position at the forefront of the Australian music scene. We caught up with guitarist Clint Ellis to talk about Requiem, Big Day Out and the band’s hopeful vision for the future.
Alesana
North Carolina six-piece Alesana have been making music for 7 years now, and with their interesting concept approach to writing albums they always have a story to tell. Having just released their fourth studio album, marking their Epitaph Records debut, Alesana are only looking forward. We caught up with guitarist and clean vocalist Shawn Mike before he jumped on stage, for a quick chat about the album, working with a major label and their recent trip to Australia.
Adept
Fresh from touring with the likes of heavy juggernaughts Bring Me The Horizon and A Day to Remember, Swedens Adept have taken time out of their busy touring schedule to talk about their new album and crazy Gothenburg producers.
This Is Hell
Long Island hardcore outfit This Is Hell have been on the scene for a while now. Getting ever more thrashy with every album (that's cool with us), they've just released their fourth full lenth "Black Mass" through Rise Records. We caught up with guitarist and founding member Rick Jimenez to talk $2 sushi and dressing up as Metallica.
Jebediah
Perth alternative rockers Jebediah – or `the Jebs’ as they’re affectionately known – have been kicking around as a band since 1994. They went on hiatus for a while but now they’re back with their fifth studio album, Kosciuszko. We caught up with bassist Vanessa Thornton for a chat ahead of their Battle For November tour.
Lights
Juno Award-winning Canadian Pop sensation. World of Warcraft fanatic. YouTube heart-melt. Lights Army Queen. Whether she's armed with a keytar, an acoustic or the Twin Blades of Azeroth, Lights is fighting a winning battle across the world of electro-pop and social media, showing no signs of calming her storm. On the verge of releasing her second studio record, 'Siberia', we caught up to talk all things gaming, dating, blogging, record-writing and the in-between before it all comes down under in the 2012.
Lo!
Compared to Converge, Breach and Old Man Gloom, Sydney's Lo! have just put out their punishing debut "Look & Behold" through Pelagic Records. With a headlining tour just kicking off now, we caught up with the band's bassist Adrian Shapiro to talk potatoes, Blackwire Records and the band's quest for metallic world domination.
Heroes For Hire
If you needed any more proof that Heroes For Hire were the best Australia has to offer in the pop punk department, "Take One For The Team" is it. With studio album numero duo done, the band now have their sights set on the road. Kicking off a headlining tour alongside I Call Fives and I Am Villain, we caught up with HFH's singer Brad Smith to talk partying hard and spraying Short Stack with piss.
