A fiar percentage of our readers are from the US and other countries around the world, and since things are relatively quiet on the Tool front (at least until the next issue of Revolver comes out), I though it might be a good idea to try and introduce some of our overseas guests to some of our best Australian bands. I’m not talking about AC/DC, Silverchair or Wolfmother, I mean… Read More »Australian Bands You Should Listen To…
