[daryl]

well i do like the silversun pickups

 

[malmbas]

Don't think silversun pickups are aussie. pretty sure they're from america. I saw them when they supported Snow Patrol... they were hungover so they sucked, their tracks are pretty cool though

 

[daryl]

oh thats right.. now what on earth made me think they were aussie. haha. anyway, i would say JET, though most people hate on them i think they sound quite good. and red riders are good too, heard some tracks

oh yeah and cut copy anyone? dukes of windsor

 

[Plastic]

Silverchair is the band from Australia, pretty alright.

 

[kerplunk182]

The Antique, anyone?

Yes, I'm addicted to my gigs. Haha.

 

[TheRampagingTomato]

sleepmakeswaves just blew my mind when I found out about them, though I'm not usually a post Rock guy.

I'd say you could just find an aussie band on myspace and start looking at their friends lists to find more good stuff. Ne Obliviscaris is up and coming (or up and come), as with Be'lakor, LORD, etc.

Rock tends to be harder to find though, due to the profusion of Metal (not always a bad thing considering contemporary rock now) but some good ones are Medussa, Wolfmother and Sedition.

Surprised so many people mentioned John Farnham, I thought I was the only person who knew who he was! I used to play the bagpipes, and my teacher was the guy who wrote and performed the bagpipe solo on You're The Voice!!

 

[lester_music]

how about 1927

 

[Labelkills]

Karnivool FTW!

Im a super big fan of Karnivool and Dead Letter Circus. Karnivool especially coz they are super talented in their genre. My band used to cover loads of their songs. Although not anymore though

I'm from Singapore btw so hello Aussies!
