Luke Gower: Sharing Space
In late 2004, a little-known but hard-working rock band by the name of Cog ventured halfway across the world to Weed, California, to record their debut full-length album. In Weed waiting for them was famed producer Sylvia Massy Shivy and her RadioStar Studios, the venue in which Cog's game-changing album The New Normal would be brought into being. > Read more

Oceansize - Frames
Oceansize are one of the indie scene's best kept secrets, so much so that in 2005 they released an album of almost unsurpassed beauty (Everyone Into Position) and managed, somehow, to remain relative unknowns.

'neath - The Spiders Sleep
The Spiders Sleep is, without any shadow of a doubt, the best Australian metal release I have ever heard. Bar none. It brilliantly combines Opeth, Katatonia, Devin Townsend and more into one furious, 37-minute-long package. > Read more
