Intentions
Slogan Free Youth
"Jem and Jace are DEAD. In past lives they spent time with Fangs of... , Fire Witch and Inappropriate Tough Guy Behaviour but now they are DEAD. DEAD, yes. Silenced, no. DEAD riffs and DEAD beats and DEAD shouts spew forth from them with a relentless fury that can no longer be contained within the walls of their private domain.
Thus far no machine has been able to capture the message of DEAD. Attempts have been
made, leaving martyrs in the wake. And so there remains but one way to hear it.
In the flesh.
In November 2010 they will begin to spread the word of DEAD in public arenas across the land. And they will not stop until all have heard the rantings of two DEAD men accompanied by a thousand watts of bass amplification and drums specially imported direct from the afterlife.
"The people" have asked to hear the word of DEAD first hand. DEAD have answered the call in the form of a tour."

DOWNLOAD
Second installment, same principle. Download Vol. 1 here.
As this was released in 2006, some tracks listed as "unreleased" will have subsequently appeared on discographys, e.p's and the like. But you get that. Once again, a couple of tracks are recorded live on PBS 106.7FM. Many, many good bands have done sets for them over the years. They're pretty good. Support them.
And of course...

The idea, apparently, with these comps is for bands to submit unreleased, demo, live, rehearsal and generally crap sounding recordings, hence the title. Suprisingly good quality sound for the most part though, and a good cross section of bands (of varying quality). Bit more of an old man selection on this one than subsequent volumes. I guess since this was the first issue the young people weren't quite on board yet.
Best zine in Australia by far. More of a magazine really...best magazine anyway.
