Ringworm

Ringworm are almost undoubtedly one of the longest lasting bands in hardcore, period. After four years, the Cleveland crossover heavyweights have just dropped their first album in four years entitled “Scars”. Kicking of another Australian tour with their old friends Mindsnare, we caught up with Ringworm’s very personable front man Human Furnace to talk about the band’s past, present and future.

Regular John

Sydney rockers Regular John have done very well for themselves in the past few years, from gaining mainstream attention in publications like Rolling Stone and touring with everyone from Motorhead to Dinosaur Jr. With their next album in the works, we chatted to bassist and vocalist Caleb Goman for some insight into the rock n roll lifestyle, from getting guitar strings from Lemmy to tantric sex.

Resist The Thought

Sydney Metal upstarts Resist The Thought have been laying waste to the Australian countryside with their well recieved Damnation release.  We catch up with guitarist Aaron to talk about their upcoming tour and extreme tour drivers.

Refused

Arguably one of the most influential bands of 90s, we were extremely fortunate to catch up for a brief chat with Refused guitarist Jon Brannstrom.

Ruiner

Baltimore's Ruiner are set to return to Australia for the second time this month, and the band's vocalist Rob took some time out of the band's busy schedule to answer some questions for us.

Reel Big Fish

Reel Big Fish have been flying the Ska flag for over 15 years and will be here for the Soundwave festival in 2010.

 

We caught up with lead singer and founding member Aaron Barnett.

Reign Supreme

Philadelphia's Reign Supreme have just released their debut album on Deathwish Inc, which includes a roster of some of the greatest hardcore bands of all time.

Vocalist Jay Pepito was kind enough to answer a few questions for me before he headed out on the road with Shai Hulud.

Rex Banner / Homewrecker

Having survived a national tour together (in support of their split CD), Sydney-siders Rex Banner and Homewrecker clearly have a lot of love for eachother.

Unfortunately their mutual admiration didn't translate too well on paper...

Rex Banner

Between growing a beard, shopping for Millencolin approved merchandise and knocking off a kilo of ribs, Kelly from Sydney punk powerhouse Rex Banner still found the time to answer these questions for us...

Reel Big Fish

After 15 years and almost as many members, Reel Big Fish are still alive and kicking.

With an Australian tour locked in for December, Reel Big Fish’s main man Aaron Barrett spoke to us about major labels, revolving doors and why ska still has its place in the music world…
