Agreed. But when you sound so much like AC/DC it's never a bad thing.

The guitar is pretty much entirely ACDC, but I reckon the singer sounds more like the bloke from Jet.

So many greath bands in this country in the local underground scenes. year after year i see the big yank bands come out and time and time again i see them being blown away by our local talent.

Good List

I like..

Parkway Drive
Mourning Tide
Ohana
I Killed the Prom Queen

I enjoy these bands, but it irks me how generic and similar every breakdown/interlude/bridge is in every song. I'm generalizing heavily here, but most bands have a great intro/verse and chorus. But when it comes to the breakdown, its simply boring, uninspiring and sounds copied from some other band.

Agree. I like them. Very good, no nonsense rock'n'roll.

MJK rip any band i've seen in a long time. barring the great propagandhi of course.

Last i heard there still in a deep search for a vocalist. Mate who sings in a band actually went for a try out for the banner boys. didnt get in on the back of him not being good enough with the lyrical side of things

My favourite Aussie artist getting around at the moment.

Gyroscope's stuff is great too, especially stuff off Sound Shattering Sound

Saw them last night, they opened for Living End. Hadn't heard of them before, but they were pretty good.

By the way, Chris Cheney using a bottle of VB for a capo/slide was epic.

He's been doing that during "E-Boogie" since Adam was a boy...

 

[Non Terminator]

I never really got into Gyroscope, they're one of those sort of bands I don't listen to often, but if they're on it's enjoyable to me.

 

[hellteam]

Do Pendulum count as an Aussie band ?

 

[Solid]

Your mother gives the bathroom door
A final and desperate yankin' -

"What's taking so long?!" she'd implore
'Cept here's something she's not seen before
Oh man, you been caught wankin'
I been caught wankin'
