TC005 THIGH MASTER 'HEAD OF THE WITCH' 7" / FILM CLIP

Pay back takes precedence on the new 7” single Head of the Witch from Brisbane band Thigh Master - a hook laden guitar pop gem that sounds as if it had just erupted from some sealed off tomb of the ghosts of Indie Pop past. The band combines Memphis garage with Kiwi jangle in a way that sounds distinctly Brisbane; yes, that striped sunlight sound, reflecting back from the muddy waters of the Brisbane River. 

Far from forlorn, the band howls through Head of the Witch with vitriol to spare, a demanding sonic presence bursting from the speakers. The flipside is just as rewarding, with the driving pop punk of DD and ominous tom-tom strut of Night Terrors rivaling each other for a-side status. This is vibrant, memorable pop music played with conviction and a gut full of piss.

TC004 DAG 'DOGWOOD' CS

A smart country kid migrates to a big dumb city called Brisbane and what do us fans of good music get? Dag. And we are damn lucky for it.

Frontman / songwriter Dusty Anastassiou brings us 6 songs of backyard woe and mild joy not heard with the same guitar slingin' finesse in this crumbling town since early go-betweens. 

This aint no craft beer swillin' / boutique venue hoppin' / beard wearin' folk rock. This is plain old downer rock, played with just enough optimism to last 6 songs without veering completely off the road. 

From the freaken beautiful opener "Born Without" to the relentless din of "There's A Power", this is honest no frills music through and through.

TC002 Shrapnel 'Tobacco Dreams' Out Now!

Shrapnel is the beats driven solo project of Sydney musician Sam Wilkinson (Day Ravies, King Tears Mortuary, Beef Jerk) - a mostly electronic outfit akin to early Atlas Sound or bubblegum Suicide. "Tobacco Dreams", Shrapnel's debut album, is a psych-pop haze of electric guitar, minimal synth and drum machine; a dizzying ode to the everyday, sounding something like the rush that accompany's one's first (or last) cigarette. 

 The 14 track album spans an impressive number of styles and moods, from the 8 minute xanax motorik of 'Diet Coke (In All Its Glory)', to the Osaka inspired electronics of 'Ice Hat'. It is an album that reflects the ADD eclecticism of modern music listening, whilst retaining a seemingly impossible overall coherence throughout; making "Tobacco Dreams" an album for nearly all occasions. 

The album is now available on limited edition cassette and digitally via the Tenth Court bandcamp: www.tenthcourt.bandcamp.com
