OUTRIGHT

THEY ARE

Quite possibly the single most underrated hardcore band in Australia; they’ve been kicking down doors and spurring circle pits en masse since 2010, yet they’re an elusive bunch – the undisputed kings and queen of Melbourne’s underground mosh scene. Driven by frontwoman Jelena Goluza’s brutally badass bellows, the dual shred action from Joel Cairns and Lincoln le Fevre is something you really need to hear to believe. THEY SOUND LIKE

Pure, unwavering catharsis. Any shit day can be made immensely better by popping on some headphones, clearing out all your expensive/fragile furniture, and blasting an Outright cut at full volume. YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE

Knocked Loose, Code Orange, Converge and whatever bloody-nosed up-and-coming hellions are belting their hearts out at the local PCYC this Friday night (don’t forget your tenner for the door charge). They go hard as all sweet hell, they’re unforgivingly loud, and their progressive message is one that everyone should get around. YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

The breakneck-paced bangers “No Fear” and “Holler” – two fierce and fiery feminist anthems loaded with crunchy riffs and belting bass. We’ve got our fingers crossed that these two recent singles lead to a full-length album, but for now, they’re absolutely worth jamming on repeat ad nauseam.
