NOAH TAYLOR & THE SLOPPY BOYS
'LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!' CD
Having an utterly insatiable appetite for music from a very early age, and performing in various bands over the past few decades, Australian actor & visual artist Noah Taylor has teamed up with his musical pals Ed Clayton- Jones (The Wreckery) and Cec Condon (The Mess Hall) forming Noah Taylor & The Sloppy Boys to record six songs which snap like frenetic disconnected live wires. Combining a marriage of raw rock and roll with gritty punk tinges, hypnotic guitar, swampy drums, and deliciously crude humorous lyrics comes their debut CD Live Free Or Die!!! , due for release on 19th November, 2011 on Z-Man Records.

sleepwalks
'THE MILK HAS GONE SOUR' CD
sleepwalks are a Brisbane rock band who happily wear their musical influences on their sleeves. Clearly they have grown up on a steady diet of 70s punk, 80s indie rock and 90s slackersludge bands (think Mission Of Burma, Dinosaur Jr and Nirvana), but undeniably the standout feature is their leanings towards legendary US band The Replacements. Their secret weapon though is they glean from the past and make it relevant to today..... More Info.

MOTHER AND FATHER
'NOTHIN' CD
Mother & Father sound like a punch to the face and are not adverse to writing a finely structured punk pop song. They will take you on a wild ride through a slippery slope of guitar loopings, driving drum beats and a voice that sounds like it’s gargled concrete for breakfast. They are hell good. Their debut album Nothin’ (CD & vinyl) is available in August 2009 worldwide via Melbourne-based Z-Man Records....More Info.
