REVIEWS
"Sugar Army’s Where Do You Hide Your Toys EP is the sonic eclecticism of dance rock done right for once. The other half of the album, please – and soon." - 3.5 Stars - Rolling Stone Magazine
"If you think you liked Cut Copy, the Midnight Juggernauts or any of those other unfortunate Australian hipster bands, get ready to have your teeth knocked out" - Beat Magazine
"'Possibly one of the best opener's I've seen since Gyroscope themselves opened for my heroes Blink 182. Sugar Army managed not only to command my attention, but also win over an entire new legion of fans, all of whom welcomed the band's unique style with open arms."- Drum Media

KILL TEEN ANGST - KILL TEEN ANGST (EP)
AUSTRALIAN RELEASE ON INERTIA DISTRIBUTION 19/04/08 - GCBC002

REVIEWS
“There is a serious nerd-level knowledge of indie and post-punk in this band, so if your ears are so inclined, Kill Teen Angst will provide you with a dose of these styles that is far more advanced and sophisticated than 99 percent of the bands that pitch themselves in these circles. That means they’re better than almost all of them because they know what they are doing, they know where they have come from, and they love it. Even if you don’t like the style Kill Teen Angst play, a good band is a good band, and this one has an almost universal appeal” – XPRESS Magazine (January 2008)
"Please go past the rather-too-emo name. the ‘Angst mostly used to be Ten Speed Racer, with some slight line-up alterations. Now they claim the likes of Mogwai as the main influence, but the nicely titled lead track, Home Is Where You Left It , is perhaps a little more direct and pop aware than Braithwaite’s sonic demons. Which is fair, as they also name check Archers Of Loaf as a touchstone. That mix makes for a quite a powerful noise when it rears up and crashes down. A noise that can be affecting, which is a good thing." - DRUM MEDIA (May 2008)

SCHVENDES - SWEET TALK YOUR ENEMIES (LP)
AUSTRALIAN RELEASE ON INERTIA DISTRIBUTION 28/06/08 - GCBC003

REVIEWS
It’s all a bit morbid and noir, and Dease’s poetic vocals play off the dirty guitars and melancholic cello in the same way Nick Cave did when he conjured up his evil alter-ego on Murder Ballads. She revels in the bloody imagery on ‘Small Mercies Sweet Graves’ and ‘Oh, Marlon’, almost as if Sweet Talk Your Enemies is Dease’s way of purging her personal demons. “All your skin’s turning grey/ The dirt’s a little warmer now,” she viciously drawls on the former track. It sits somewhere between Augie March’s baroque leanings and Cave and Ellis’ soundtrack work on The Proposition or The Assassination of Jesse James. Schvendes creates a wonderfully claustrophobic mood which gradually envelopes you as you work your way through the album. But there is - below the songs about rotting flesh - majesty to the sumptuous arrangements that hark back to Schvendes’ days on the festival circuit. Even if they have sweet dreams of commercial acceptance, they’ll always play with the ghosts of their art past on their shoulders. And that’s a good thing" - Mess and Noise
Schvendes - Small Mercies, Sweet Graves
