GENARATIONZ: PROBABLY DEATH SINGLE REVIEW

Hard Rock band GenarationZ of Springfield, Missouri, USA have recently unleashed their third single Probably Death, following earlier releases, Something Wicked and Seance. GenarationZ have become synonymous with a dark, atmospheric and hauntingly melodic soundscape, with Probably Death slipping right into the ongoing theme. Without further ado let's jump into the deep end of GenarationZ latest drop. I've lost my way, I'm in too deep, Last breath I take, Before I leave, My li

COGNITION: THE GAME SINGLE REVIEW

Springfield Missouri, USA hard rock band Cognition has released their debut singles The Game and The Washer. With all possible respect, I won't be reviewing The Washed today due to personal reasons. "“The Washed” was written as a healing anthem to support all those affected by the fentanyl epidemic." I encourage you to listen to The Washed. If you need support with a drug addiction and live in Australia, you can call the Lifeline National Alcohol & Other Drugs Hotline on 1800

10 TIPS ON APPROACHING A MUSIC JOURNALIST

Meet the CREW

FOUNDER/MUSIC JOURNALIST

Kirsty Shepherd

I fell in love with Punk and Metal Music at the age of eleven and merging that with a life long passion for writing seemed like the next logical step. After working for several companies in Music Promotion and Music Journalism it was time to step out on my own and take the passion for local alternative artists into my own hands.

PHOTOGRAPHER - QUEENSLAND

Sam Herbert

For me I just always loved recording my scenery and my surroundings and loved looking back on cool places and things I've seen. This will be my 15th year with a camera in my hand, and about 8 years professionally. My favourite shoots of my career so far are The Used, Amigo The Devil, Atreyu, Wage War, Saosin and Hellions.

PHOTOGRAPHER - NEW SOUTH WALES

Tim Bottomley

I came back into photography in 2022. At first, I was doing landscapes, astrophotography & street, with a little bit of live music. I realised my calling in late 2024 when I first discovered the local metal scene. The rest is history.
