I Oh You deliver the no-fuss goods again with the new release from Brisbane duo DZ Deathrays (pictured above at Maggie Mae's, Austin TX). The thrash-out-with-your-balls-smashed-about band were simply known as DZ before their recent trip to the States, where they discovered they'd been booked into dubstep showcases due to confusion with the Canadian DZ. Problem solved with the addition of Deathrays to their name. The band were one of the Aus showcase highlights at SxSW from where they have returned home armed with the Brutal Tapes EP. The extended player features new single 'Rad Solar' and previous breakout 'Gebbie Street'. And while it may be difficult to mistake them with their former dubstep namesake in sound, the EP finds them dabbling in remixes (including a bare knuckles mix of 'Rad' by Gold Coast team Surecut Kids). But don't be fooled by the inclusion of two House Party Versions of tracks - that's 'house party' as in 'recorded live at a house party', they haven't yet gone four-to-the-floor (but we're ready for it when they are, Surecut Kids pub club sound may act as a gateway genre) - and one of DZ was donning a Midnight Juggernauts tee in Austin.

Get Down On Bleeding Knees
Queensland's Bleeding Knees Club lost their Virginity when they released a five-track EP of that name a little while back. Not sure how they slipped by for that amount of time because they are now a firm listening favourite - and carpet-burned knees has become a way of life. The two brothers play lo-fi garage punk in the vein of Harlem and Male Bonding, citing the surf punk scene as a primary influence. There's not much more that can be said except to make sure your year doesn't end without experiencing some Knee action. Now signed with the I Oh You mob, you can download some tracks for free or purchase the entire Virginity EP from your local iTunes or some such shop of music sales.
