Pop era U2 sounds so much like INXS Songs like The Gift could have made it on Pop

What’s that? I thought the unofficial Aussie anthem was Reckless by Australian Crawl- great song

Growing up in the Uk I wasn’t exposed to much Aussie music other than Kylie! Only since I moved to NZ I’ve heard more Aussie music and I was 25 then so a lot of these bands were finished by then. I might have heard of more Midnight Oil songs but can’t name them. Only one from Living End I...

Powderfinger has so many great hits Better then Silverchair a.k.a. Nirvana wannabes My Happiness Sunsets My kind of Scene Bless my soul These Days Baby I’ve got you on my mind Burn your name Since you’ve been gone Their albums were probably not great but their greatest hits is fantastic...

Tried Gang of Youths debut but wasn’t my cup of tea. Vital signs was ok. Are their more recent Lp’s. better? They are very u2/fleet foxes sounding. Very Aussie sound Any new bands who sound like any of the following: Greatest Aussie Bands 1. Powderfinger 2. AC/DC 3. Jet Crowded House I know...

De Villiers quitting internationals Shame as next World Cup only a year away. Great player. Very entertaining to watch He’s only 34. Wonder if he’ll cash in on T20 leagues now

I listened back to AM today. Hated it. Might actually be my least favourite album by them. Not any songs I want to go back to unlike TBHC. Still loving it. Never got that with AM

Name a few. I’ll check Gang of Youths this week. Should have made this thread an Aussie indie music one haha

They dress like bogans/chavs but they do make a good tune Who else have Australia got at the moment that's any good? These guys sound good live too - shame they haven't come to NZ in a while.

Anyone heard of Aussie trio DMA’s from Sydney? New album For Now is great. Debut Hills End top notch too. Very UK sounding (Smiths, Oasis and Stone Roses style) https://youtu.be/_kbD61y6oWU Time and Money on new album is best tune. https://youtu.be/-kykpsrjPN0 Not very well known outside...

One of the crappest pieces of writing summing up one of the greatest lp’s of all time. Arctic Monkeys Review: 'Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino' Prob had one listen and thought he could pass that off as a review And NZ herald talking out of their arse too http://nzh.tw/12051089 I’m hooked...

I hear Neil Finn style in Golden Trunks. She looks like fun my fave at moment, but so many great songs. One of my favourite albums ever! Alex Turner is a godlike genius I dunno how you embed links but here’s Four Out of Five on Fallon https://youtu.be/DHMBJ2do1XU

This album is pure joy start to finish. I don’t get all the references or lyrics, but time for that. This album makes me happy. I love it. Their most enjoyable and possibly best album to date. I even like the songs I didn’t at first after another 10 listens. Maybe I’m on a new LP high, but...

Can’t stop listening to it. It’s grown with each listen. Only songs I’d probably skip are Batphone and Science Fiction. So many good tunes. Star treatment, American sports, title track and She Looks Like Fun. Better than AM I’d say. That was a handful of singles and filler. Could be their...

This is all so over the top from Cricket Australia. Smith is a broken man. Sacked as captain, 3 month ban and a big fine would have been enough. Now he’s being crucified by the public. He hasn’t killed anyone. Warner seems to be the main instigator. Feel sorry for smith. Bancroft was stupid...
