[on repeat] ABOUT TIME by Chook Race

Melbourne strummers Chook Race have swung for the fences with their debut LP and they have surely hit it out of the park. The trio have compiled a blissful set of 10 jangle-pop gems. The LP is self-released and is available in February if you're in Australia, but if you're in the US then you're in luck because it's already available from Easter Bilby Records.

SICK OF YOU by School Damage

Jake from Ausmuteants and Hierophants is keeping his stellar record of bands in tact in yet another music outlet.  This time he is hooking up with his girlfriend, Carolyn, for School Damage.  After a cassette release they added a couple members to assemble a four-piece and fill out their sound. The penchant for synthy, swirly punk is still evident and their first 7" for 'School Damage' was released last August from Detonic Recordings.

PNEUMATIC DRILL by Hierophants

Hierophants are out of Australia and feature members from Ausmuteants and Frowning Clouds. Sounds too good to be true, right?  Well, it kinda is when all is said and done.  After a split cassette and a couple 7"s started to stir up the excitement last year, the four-piece are set to release two more 7"s. Goner Records are handling the release of the swirly 'I Don't Mind' this month, and the cleaner 'Pneumatic Drill' was released last week from Australian record label Moontown Records with a fabulous b-side in 'Skipping Steps.'  Debut LP from Goner and Aarght! expected in early 2015!
