Ooooooooh, Screeching Weasel are finally heading our way and with MXPX to boot! Pop-punk nirvana guaranteed on May 20 at the Prince Bandroom (yes, it’s in Melbourne, but well worth the trip)! Supports to be announced any day now, so stay tuned!

We’ve all been there, not knowing whether to let go or hold on and hope for greener pastures. I know better than most how hard it is to let go of something that you have loved deeply and truly for so long, or something you had such high hopes for.

So it’s O Week, and you’re looking for a guide to what to expect at university. Sure, you could ask family and friends, but why not go straight to the people who know the facts: Hollywood!

Let’s face it, there is no scientifically confirmed cure for a hangover, as much as we wish scientists were spending their time on figuring one out, it’ll probably be a long way off while there are more life-threatening diseases lurking around. But while there mightn’t be a cure as such, there are a few ways to lessen the blow the morning after and none of them involve sipping on ginger beer (though that would be the best solution of them all).

You’ve seen Ella Hooper front a pop band, kill it behind a radio mic, and rule at hosting.

If Australia ever closed its borders to major players from the folk/roots Americana fraternity, we’d get by with the local talent on offer. Sal Kimber’s third album Southern Light radiates a softly polished mastery of alt-country.

Remember how, less than a fortnight ago, Here Come the Habibs was all set to be the sitcom that divided a nation? Everywhere you looked you would find one of two articles on the show: either they were attacking the show for looking racist, or they were defending the show for clearly not being racist.

One of the local ‘sleeper’ bands last year was local prog rock band FORMILES featuring Jack Forsey on lead guitar and vocals, Dougie Walker on bass and Samuel Patterson on drums.

With everyone donning white Nike runners, leggings and sports crop tops to the supermarket, being fit in 2016 is very much the trend of the year. Though heading to the gym isn’t quite as fun as taking part in an obstacle course like Miss Muddy.

The people of Buninyong are grinning from ear to ear as local wood-fired pizza place Red Door moves to a more central part of town: 401 Warrenheip Road to be precise. The good news is they are also having live music, and take-away pizza is officially available from mid-February. Well worth getting down to try these pizzas as they are truly delicious.

It’s really sad to think about it, however there was a time when people went to concerts and festivals and enjoyed it – without the need or desire to whip out their phones at a moments notice and film every goddamn song.

Forming in 2010, Genghis Can’t Swim quickly became the quirky named local band you had to see. Since moving to Melbourne, the band are making the trip back to ol’ G-Town for one of the town’s favourite events: the Nightjar Festival.

The Gellibrand River Blues and Blueberry Festival are a point of difference in the blues festival scene in Australia. While they have some of the finest acts on offer, they also have some of the tastiest blueberries and iconic location to back it up as one of the most original festivals around. Now in its fifth year, the Otways Tourist Park will once again hold the festival on February 27 after popular demand.

Geoff Achison is a familiar name in the blues scene in Geelong, and there’s a reason why we have him coming back. Now armed with a new resonator and an album on the way, we spoke to Geoff about the local scene, blues origins and his show at the Workers Club.

Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal. Since when did the metal community become such a precious bunch of, well, precious kids? At this year’s Dimebash a drunken Phil Anselmo apparently shouted “white power” and after making a Nazilike gesture on stage.

The morning is a time for slow moves; for your eyelids to open ever so slightly and for that pathway from the bed to the kitchen and to work to be navigated ever so cautiously.

In a similar way to how the whole community comes together to celebrate multicultural Australia at Pako Festa, the seven members of Sol Nation combine to create an album and tour as one of the most functional bands in Australia.

Sal Kimber is a musical gem in the industry. She’s traversed much of the country (and is currently in the process of doing so) and has created heartfelt lyrics to connect with anyone who listens. We had a chat with the songstress ahead of her show in Bendigo with her close knit posse, the Rollin’ Wheel.
