An experimental project I thought up, using carefully designed bass movement with high end glitch and sound play. Combining these elements with the very talented Ms. Galasso's vocals and airy, mid - ranged guitar to create a unique soundscape. Please, all feedback is welcome. Share with anyone and everyone :) Enough Likes and I will release the track for free, unless a label of my choice takes a liking to it.

Revult feat. Daniela Galasso - Weekend Air

Demo version of a song in progress and to follow up on my last solo post here which was an incomprehensible drunken mess. This one was done sort of sober and over many hours so please enjoy. The lyrics in part say "the distance between the earth and the sun" and can't remember the rest but you figure it out. Enjoy and feel free to share and give me a career in music. Based in Melbourne, Australia and the future is unlimited.

For Woody. A rough as guts jam with Adam B on drums, Adam R on guitar and Kenneth Woods on vocals. A raw memento from an island youth long ago.

Dirge For All The Dead Rockers

Legendary Tasmanian riot grrl noise punks Little Ugly Girls formed in Hobart in the very early 90s, but have never released a record until now.

New album Little Ugly Girls is officially their debut album, and features recordings spanning more than 20 years, including new sessions to finish off songs first tracked in the late 90s, which were left stranded on a damaged hard drive for two decades.

The band formed around fiery vocalist Linda Johnston, whose high-kicking stage antics make her one of Australia's most electrifying frontpeople, and her guitar demon brother Dannie "Bean" Johnston.

After moving to Melbourne in the mid 90s, the band settled on their classic lineup of Brent "Sloth" Punshon on drums (who also recorded a large part of this album), and rock-solid bassist Mindy Mapp (previously of another cult 90s band, Brisbane's much-loved Fur).

Little Ugly Girls played with the likes of Bikini Kill (after Linda personally organised for them to make a detour to Hobart on their first Australian tour), Fugazi, and once memorably headlined over the White Stripes in Melbourne. But their only recordings released to date include a handful of 90s cassettes (some now archived at the Bandcamp page of Hobart label Goulburn Street Records) and one three track CD-R.

Now nearly 30 years since they formed, the debut album by Little Ugly Girls shows them at their towering best - fierce and inspiring, with Linda's scarifying lyrics and impassioned delivery set to a huge wall of taut punk noise. It has been a long time coming, but it's as good as you could have dreamed.

Chapter honchos Ben & Guy were always massive fans, front and centre at every Melbourne show. They have gently applied the screws for the last 20 years to extract a LUGs album from the notoriously spotlight-shy band, so to have finally succeeded is a momentous occasion.

Since first breaking up in the early ‘00s, Little Ugly Girls have made semi-regular live reappearances, always just as powerful and invigorating as ever. Linda and Bean have also gone on to create their own subsequent cult as the dual force behind Melbourne bands The Dacios and The Bulls, often with Mindy on bass.

Little Ugly Girls is a one-off vinyl pressing of 500 copies, released on Chapter Music on August 3. Pre-order your copy here:

Little Ugly Girls - Tractor

UNDERWHELMED BY WORK

gotta get up go earn some money
back on the train back to the machine
stupid fucking job keeps getting me down
doctor's note get paid sick day 
sick of this job but love money
you can choose your friends but not your boss
talkers talk fast and get a pay rise
I'm making a living but it's not a life
bottle it up and lose your mind
you can't escape at 4.29
do the work and kill the time
swallow the shit so the show goes on
go back to the start and do it again
there's no more room it's filled with hate
turn off the lights I'm sleeping late
