4 Dead

.... sounds like the end of the earth.... tastes like chicken. "Ultra-violenthardcore/metal band 4DEAD are Canberran quintet with enough firepower to topple Parliament House. Violent and pummelling, they're the musical equivalent of Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. Banned from most venues in the nation's capitol, thanks to their chugg hardcore and mosh-metal sound (not to mention the insanity it can often insight), 4DEAD are a band who put their bodies on the line every time they take the stage, delivering a dangerous and theatrical show where anything can (and has been known to) happen.

Julia and The Deep Sea Sirens

Delicate tunes that float and dance in the air, sung by a girl with a voice which varies from a seductive whisper to a desperate cry. Melodic guitars and a rhythm section which, if it chooses, can produce an energy which mesmerizes you, whitens your knuckles as they cling to your seat, only to drop you into a pool of calm, your heart still pounding in your chest. Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens started 18 months ago with just Julia and Yo (Johanna) stuffing around in music class during grade 12.
