It seems that when I was working on this sampler, the spirit of the “Sandinista!” sessions was flying over me, because finally I have made a 3 CD sampler. (two CDs + an out-takes CD)

1) The Rumjacks (Sydney, New South Wales)

I guess that everybody knows them. Will’s band has released a couple of EP in only one year and we are eager to hear a full album

www.myspace.com/therumjacks

Discography:

"Hung ,Drawn & Portered" (5 track EP, 2009)
"Sound as a Pound" (6 track EP, 20009)

You can find the EPs at www.amazon.com and at i-tunes. The first EP is also available from www.pugmusic.com




2) McAlpine's Fusiliers (Bendigo/Fitzroy/Geelong, Victoria)

McAlpine’s Fusiliers combine traditional folk instruments of fiddle, accordion and banjo with a punk rhythm to produce high energy and passionate music that is committed to continuing the burning social relevance of folk music. Their Do It Yourself attitude has won them a large loyal fan base that sees them constantly hitting the road to play. They self released their debut CD "Sons & Daughters of the Soil" in June 2007 which was recorded at Pan Studios Geelong with Producer Sally Laver.”

3) The Hornswagglers (Melbourne, Victoria)

“From the backstreets of Melbourne town comes the newest chapter in the Irish, Punk Rock scene. They take traditional Irish jigs and twist them to make them their own. After a few months of drinking, singing and writing, The Hornswagglers sound was beginning to emerge.

As the days drew on and the nights began to fall, the pieces of their music jigsaw puzzle were falling into place. Every song they play is something new and exciting; whether it be a Gaelic jig, with a punk feel or even some traditional punk with a bossa twist, their unique sound will always leave you wanting more.”

"Lights Out" (5 track EP, 2009)

4) The Handsome Young Strangers (Sydney, New South Wales)

www.myspace.com/thehandsomeyoungstrangers

“Driza was becoming increasingly concerned with the number of young Australian musicians emulating a sound and culture that failed to reflect the history / roots of the performers and punters alike. Although supportive of all Australian music, we found it difficult to listen to young white suburban men from blue collar, middle class backgrounds attempting to portray themselves as poverty stricken, struggling, gangsters.

The Handsome Young Strangers set out to remind the live music audience that we have a rich, often bloody, heritage coloured with struggle and triumph to draw upon, and that much of it has been etched onto the pages of history through song. Flagship Bush bands had come and gone, and with the Bushwackers slowing down, it was time for a New Generation to step up and continue to spread the stories from our past and celebrate our unique culture.”


Discography:

"Shane Warne" (3 tracks, EP, 2007)
"Melbourne Town" (Single 2009)
