Volume Two Closed

admin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:21:38 +0000

Registrations for Volume Two of the Shout! Australian Music Sampler have now closed and the following artists have been selected:

Red Ink

Drawing inspiration from acts such as U2, The Police, The Killers, the Cure and Bloc Party, Mornington Peninsula indie-poppers Red Ink manage to blend their addictive melodies with anthem-like hooks. With an armoury of hypnotic tunes and an intensely captivating live performance, the lads have began to attract attention from all walks of the local and extended music community.

Trikarma

Trikarma is a potent, sonically enchanting mix of substance and positive energy, with a delicious selection of funk, pop, rock and groove infused tunes. Their sound is as New York and old-school cool as its perspective is unique. Their fatness and funk mix beautifully with the depth of their intention to create an energy all of their own.

McArtney

McArtney is a fresh-faced, breakthrough act who is set on creating Australian music history. Pop songwriting with abstract and distinct production makes this young lad’s brand of indie pop stand out from the monotony of the music marketplace. Vocals work as rhythms, organs act as basses, and real instruments are played…believe it or not.

Haunted Attics

Haunted Attics is a four-piece band from Canberra whose music is characterized by exhilarating live performances and indie-rock songs which traverse a delicate balance between hope and fear, achievement and failure, anger and forgiveness, dancing and thinking. The band’s sound is a melting pot of ideas, a brilliant amalgam of songs; from tracks with catchy pop-rock hooks, quirky, obscure and often subtly sinister lyrics, to songs with intense melodic landscapes weaving impassioned lyrical narratives.

Red Season

Red Season portrays a strong theme of turmoil and intensity and aim to reach a wide audience with emotional hooks and powerful melodies.

Peter Chapman

Peter Chapman sings, writes, records and performs professionally. He has written songs with many published artists, had some minor radio play and a couple of tracks on a ‘Warrior Films’ project. Peter has recently performed shows with ‘Abby Dobson’, ‘Renee Geyer’ & ‘Vika & Linda Bull’.

Young Lovers

Atomic Bliss

Gabriel Lynch Band
