‘Age of Terror’ is the debut album of Melbourne based band SeRiAL PeST. Disturbed and pissed off by the creeping rise of corporatism and right wing fascism in Australian politics and society and the ‘McDonaldisation’ of music and art, the album was self-recorded by the band in the drummer’s garage in 2015.  Comprised of 9 high voltage, politically charged tracks it echoes the essence and intensity of yesteryear bands and music that took risks, pushed the boundaries, made statements, stuck it to the man! 


Rugged and smooth like a well-worn saddle, independent Melbourne band Phoebe's Dream unashamedly wear their influences on their sleeves - and with such a splendid pedigree of influences why wouldn't they? Primary impressions lie predominantly with Talking Heads,David Bowie, The Smiths/Morrissey and instrumentally it's easy to see the likes of Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips & Beck slipping in there too.
Singer, guitarist and main songwriter Phil Smarty sings melancholic, bittersweet but psychologically edgy pop songs that are also written by brother and guitarist John Smarty. In the original line-up The Smarty brothers combined nicely with drummer Glenn Chuck to pull together tightly patterned hooks that give Phoebe's Dream their unique melodic twist. The new members are Krste Stojanovski (drums) and Damian Azzollini (bass).

No Sleep Records is an independent record label based in Huntington Beach, CA and home to some of underground music's best emerging talent.

Years after its inception, No Sleep continues to push the boundaries of music with a diverse lineup of innovative acts that don't necessarily fit any single genre, but instead are out to cut their own path. From La Dispute and Touche Amore to Balance and Composure and Into It. Over It., the label has become one of the scene's most coveted labels for bands to call home.
