About Me

When only real Rock'n'Roll will do , ASTEROID B612 accept no substitute !!!! Since 1992 Asteroid B612 have been kickin out heartfelt,soulful straight down the line rock'n'roll music , with so much intent and bruising honesty that at times they are down right dangerous . The bands reputation live is of sheer spontaneous power, literally taking their audiences on a roller coaster ride of emotions , as Col Gray from Visious Kitten says " i suggest you take Asteroid B612 today for a better tomorrow!!.///////////////////////////////////////////////// ////This is an introduction to Asteroid B612 written by Mickster for the Off the hip fanzine , 2002. One of the most respected bands amongst the Australian underground scene Asteroid b612 play rock'n'roll like no other in this country!! Possessing a passion and honesty that is at once refreshing and dangerous unfortunately it is these same traits that have kept them from being the household name they deserve to be , mainstream music wants 'yes-men',not men in the know who can say "no" or shout "FUCK NO"////////////////////////////"a raging jam in the truest sense of the word . Total charisma " LUKE ROBERTS - WARM GLOW ///// "the musical equivalent of walking into the wrong room of a party at the right time , a pharmaceutical freak-out " LUKE ANISIMOFF - HM MAGAZINE ///// "zero compromise and a body of soulful songs" CARL HAMMERSCHMIDT - ROLLING STONE ///// "songs that explain the angst of interpersonal relationships with passion and frank honesty" MICHELLE MANNING - X PRESS ///// " Asteroid B612 play pure, unadulterated '50's rock'n'roll . This style of music is at least forty years ols , when you see a band performing it this well you can understand why rock'n'roll music changed the face of popular culture" PAUL CHAMPION - DB MAGAZINE ///////////
