C.O.F.F.I.N: Exploring the mess of Australia ‘in all its glory and negativity’

bluntmagazine

In the few years they’ve been around, Newcastle’s @boudicca_aus have fast earned a rep for crafting furious music inspired by historical events. With their new EP ‘Uncouth’, the band have given us yet another opportunity to think deeply while we headbang along.

We can speak to the music of Boudicca, and trust us, we do so all the livelong day, but to get a better understanding of the timeless tales told within 'Uncouth', we thought we'd call up the band themselves.

Here’s some fast facts from ‘Uncouth’, with a chance to dig deeper at the link in bio.

“I’ve played some demo stuff for a few of my friends and they’re just like, holy fucking shit. Now, we’ve been off [tour] for what, almost a couple of weeks? The downloading is almost done so we’ll just have to reset and see. Maybe we’ll have something out by the time we come down there. You never know.”

With a full tank and a new-found hunger to get back to where they left off, @mudvayne are back like we’ve never seen them before. Ahead of their return to Australia, they tell us about the reunion, the reception, and situation regarding new music.

“The fact that I can come back to Australia a de

“The fact that I can come back to Australia a decade later and still have people around … for someone who’s never had hits and never been a massive artist, I think that’s something to be proud of.” We speak with @lights ahead of her long-awaited return to Australian stages this October. // link in bio.

They say that true beauty will never seek attention – it just gets it. This applies in no subtle way to the debut eponymous album from Naarm’s @rinisgood.

Testament to what can be done with timber and steel, McArdle has created a vivid, thorough world with plenty of spaces to get lost between. This isn’t an escape. It’s an ice bath; the only way to get out of it, is to first get into it.

And into it we got … // link in bio.

“The last time we got a feature debut this assur

“The last time we got a feature debut this assured, and this straight-up confident in its execution, was when Ari Aster hit us with Hereditary a few years back. Talk to Me is an absolute banger ... If you’re a horror head, this is precisely the kind of genre gold you pan for ..." @celluloidandwhiskey speaks with @therackaracka and @michael_philippou about all things #TalkToMe / link in bio

“The big moments are there from the first moment

“The big moments are there from the first moment, otherwise, the song doesn't progress. It just dies on the vine and we get rid of it. The first draft is 95% of the way. Then we'll spend two years workshopping the last 5% …”

Anthemic choruses, yearning stories and fist-pumping grooves - @militariegun latest album ‘Life Under The Gun’ certainly isn't lacking in the big moments, but vocalist Ian Shelton tell us, it’s the little things that make it work. Link in bio.

"I hope listeners who have felt such pain also fin

"I hope listeners who have felt such pain also find a release in hearing this song. I hope you feel all the anger and resentment with me, and then you’re able to let it all go …” While 'Teeth' may be their debut release, scattered throughout its 4 minute run time are ample reasons why @ratboyschoolexcursion are destined to usurp your current favourite band. // Link in bio.

“I feel like my favourite type of writing is hec

“I feel like my favourite type of writing is hectic or serious. I feel like anyone can just be, "La la la. I'm so stoked with life," which is great. Do that. That's epic. But, we like to tap into the shit that we need to get out.” We speak with @voiidtheband about their latest record, Watering Dead Flowers.

“…But then you start to accept it. That's when
