Female four-piece Feathers (unintentional alliteration!) hail from my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Having essentially had three incarnations over their half-decade existence, it has been interesting to witness their evolution. First starting out as a trio, then losing a drummer, picking up a new drummer and a bass-player, the progression of the band is inevitable.

UNCLE ACID AND THE DEADBEATS might be a fairly new name to most people out there. With the way their sophomore LP “Blood Lust” quickly sold out, that statement will only hold true for so much longer. Continue reading “Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats – Blood Lust”
