Melbourne based alternative-rock band Vermantics have created the perfect track for those angst-filled late summer nights this holiday period in ‘Mess’, released November 21st. Following their successful UK tour in May, Vermantics are showcasing what good Aussie alt-rock is all about.

They’re a melting pot

GRIM’s latest single ‘Hammer Of Justice’ is a testament to what makes Aussie hardcore so special. This song is equal parts outspoken and abrasive but is ultimately drenched in passion and holds absolutely nothing back. Hailing from Albury NSW, this track follows from their last highly-rated single ‘Blood, Sweat And Fear.’ (you can read Emily’s review of that one here !) Taking influences from hardcore/slam and classic 90's heavy drop-tuned guitars, this song is ruthless a

Japan-based metalcore band Prompts have just dropped their hectic new single "Deceiver", a track that is pure chaotic energy and a total sonic assault (in the best way!) 'Deceiver' is unapologetically ferocious right from the start. Pushing the boundaries of genre and convention, this track is infused with nu-metal, deathcore and mathcore influences to create a heavy yet experimental sound.
