Live Review: The Plot In You, Erra, Deadlights
It was absolutely Saturday Night Fever at The Triffid for The Plot In You's Swan Song tour date, alongside prog-metalcore legends Erra and local bretheren Deadlights. A flawless night of metalcore and alternative goodness.

Live Review: Northlane, Plini, Sleep Token, alt.
We came, we saw, we worshipped. Northlane's Obsidian album tour wrapped up with a completely sold-out Tivoli show in Brisbane, and the vibe could not have been higher. This was one of those nights where the venue was full from as soon as alt. took the stage and it never let up.

Shreddie Munson and Runnin' Up That Hill feature in new Stranger Things trailer
Music has always been a HUGE part of Stranger Things, since season 1. Setting the show in the 1980's was a stroke of genius by The Duffer Brothers. The ability to set the scene and year by real-world events and song releases means that it puts the viewer directly into that era and keeps it as real-to-life as sci-fi-horror gets. As the 80s has drawn on in years throughout, they have been most recently been able to draw on the thrash metal phase & satanic panic... let's dive into that new trailer.

Horns up, the Good Things Festival 2022 tour line-up is HERE!
Well, hot damn! Good Things Festival 2022 has officially dropped the line-up for December 2022 tour dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - and straight up, we have headliners who have dropped two of the biggest rock and metal records in the past few years, we've got punk royalty, we've got bands re-forming to play classic material, and a tonne of Aussie acts to round it out, all that and more - YA LOVE TO SEE IT!

Kenny G... yes, THAT Kenny G - just played on an Imperial Triumphant song.
So, yeah. As someone who grew up listening to metal and also having a Mother who was an intense fan of Kenny G, this is a mash-up I honestly N E V E R thought I would see. It was weird enough for me seeing Kenny G play on a Katy Perry song and appearing in the filmclip. On the other hand, I LOVE me a saxophone solo or section in a heavy song, so it's actually not a stretch to just go to THE guy for saxophone to play your solo.

Eddie Munson from Stranger Things is the metalhead representation we all need
If you've managed to cop the new season of 'Stranger Things' yet, you will have met Eddie Munson. He's the head of the Hellfire Club, he's a metalhead, he's a little cowardly at first, but he's really coming into his own by the end of the season - and a vital member of the older teenage Scooby gang. He's proved his worth and he literally dove into a hellgate. He's repping metalheads to the world at large right now - and he's showing that the 'Satanic Panic' of the 80's was so unfounded!

Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda laments pressure to make "viral" content
Linkin Park have been around now for 20+ years, they've been through the CD era, the Napster Era, the black hole between P2P and then iTunes/digital purchases, the Myspace era, the advent of smart phones and now into the streaming and hyper-social media era. So when someone like Mike Shinoda, one of the vocalists for Linkin Park, an artist and a pretty great business person all round, has some words to say around how artists are being treated, probably best to have a listen.
