Claws & Organs is a noisy three-piece band from Melbourne comprised of Miranda Holt on drums, Heather Thomas on bass and David Crowe on guitar. Heather and Dave also sing.

The band recorded its latest EP, I Am Scum And Nobody Should Love Me at Head Gap studios over two days in 2014 and have toured Australia, playing with the likes of Adalita, Kingswood and DZ Deathrays.

The band returned to Head Gap in early 2015 to record the follow-up single, ‘Alphabetti Spaghetti’, a dark shoegaze-inspired with themes of isolation, angst and trying to find your place in the world. The song sees Heather Thomas’ sultry vocals wrapped around an infectious melody, driving bassline and pulsing drums. The song builds into a chorus that you gotta get outta your head..

Also, some people said nice things:

"[Alphabetti Spaghetti] bristles and burns with the fire of a thousand goths in summer." - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J

"Evoking The Dirt of Luck-era Helium is an easy way into our hearts, and Claws & Organs do just that right from the start of their new EP, I Am Scum and Nobody Should Love Me. Although the opening ‘Die!’ gets a bit grungier in the chorus, Heather Thomas’s glum vocals and David Crowe’s muddy guitar do Helium proud. On a more local tip, they’ve been compared to DZ Deathrays and Damn Terran, and Crowe’s own turns at the mic certainly hammer those home." - Doug Wallen, Mess+Noise

"The record has Claws & Organs spitting bloody bile and menace over jagged riffs and muscular rhythms. Even as someone who, besides a brief affair with Local H, regards grunge sweeping the charts as one of the most egregious missteps in pop history, I Am Scum And Nobody Should Love Me is a wicked continuation of cultural disillusion. Plus 'I am scum and nobody should love me" is way more tattoo-worthy than "I hate myself and wanna die.'" - Jake Cleland, The Vine

Since 2013, red-dust desert rock outfit “Kitchen Witch” have been wowing audiences with their powerful twist of femme-driven heavy rock grooves with some extra low-end riffage to spare. Dubbed as South Australia’s response to the California desert/stoner rock scene, the quartet continue to go from strength to strength with their uniquely Australian blend of blues & soul, 70’s rock, desert psychedelia and stoner metal doom. They've cast a spell on audiences on stages across Australia with 1000 Mods, The Sword, Brant Bjork (Kyuss), Earthless, Samsara Blues Experiment and many more international riff-wizards worthy of note. Can you resist the Siren's call? 

"Desert, doom and the 70’s come together in a stylish and grooving melting pot that’s one earworm rhythm after another" - Doom Charts

"Smoky blues tones and acid-laced doom riffs get blended together with some strong melodies that serve to bind the galaxy together" - Desert Highways

"A maddeningly catchy mix of desert, stoner, and doom with crunch to spare" - Stoner HiVe

"Zeppelin, Kyuss, The Kills, Deap Vally all huffing the one monster spliff, riffing you a sweet stoner blues lullaby" - Spoz’s Rant 

"A force to be seriously reckoned with" - Desert Psychlist
