i second that

i agree with all of that except fur patrol

actually, fur patrol have gotten a LOT better.
pre-collider i would have agreed with you but their new sound, the rockier sound of tracks on collider really surprised me. cooler riffs and shit too,even though they are very simplistic.
I'd add goldenhorse for a shitty nz band, their music is unoriginal, boring to listen to and generally is the musical analogy of a slow painful death. oh yeah, and 98% of female punk bands. No talent there either, just a bunch of teenaged girls that think it's great to start a punk band and scream the same lyrics over and over and over again. Rockquest has enough of these to sink the titanic again.

Why? Justify that.
Their music offers nothing but the same formulaic mellow rock failed many a time before.

//offers nothing but the same formulaic mellow rock failed many a time before.

e.g?

...endless sea of (drunken!) fuckwits. You mean to tell me you've never been party to the odd "yaaaa, ya ya ya yaaaaa" while stumbling blindly through the streets? Sheesh your a better man than I.

//Id rather...
Your kidding right.

Is it "bliss"? I thought it was "chicks" for a while there then I was corrected that it was "piss". I think people are playing mind games with me. I'm glad it's loud in the bars other wise I would have mislead the boys in my sexuality. I don't mind the second mistake of "piss" - bring it on! (The alcoholic type that is - just in case there are others like me out there)

I am clearly in a minority here - hell, what would would I know - I was in a band that used to do a cover of "Trippin'" by Push Push - and at the time I thought it was GREAT.

//Drunken scarfie geezers
Heh when I was living in the NEV we'd stumble back from the Cook, the Empire or the local (knew the name once but that part of my memory fell victim to the drink and drugs long ago) sing all manner of shit but on an average night it was usually "Black spade picasso core" , "Tainted love" (I know, we were young and very very drunk) "Acetone" or "Bliss" goodtimes but our neighbours hated us hahaha.

thats the one, i couldnt remember their name

voice is an instrument, so yer, i guess so.

yeah dawn raids by immigration officers in the 70's???
in the same vein as the 'overstayer' brand of clothing???
probably just coincidence

One word. Americanised.

hahaha... so THEY think...

all they have is good production
Z E R O S O U L.

//hdu

i can imagine why someone would think that about their early stuff live (wall of annoying treble, very loud, formless and not in the Roy-is-God Montgomery good way either) but the last couple of years (say late 2000 - 2002) HDU sounded so incredible, so damned catchy, so much great texture and range between the sublime multinote bass (soft and crunchy thru the Prunes) and the delicate pained atmospheric geetar soundscapes. and the drums - wow, so driving, relentless, impossible to sit and just listen like a snooty connisseur (sp?) - i never liked them in the start, but once they got Dale Cotton on the desk and he smoothed things out and it was possible to hear everything, their sound got so much more enjoyable rather than just a painfilled assault ...

please don't hit me Lena, but i think i came from what you think about them now, to being really amazing by them and absolutely loving them live.

i see lena has still got their head up their arse
