Benjamin Walsh: Solo Flight
<p><span><span><span>- Do you remember </span><strong>The Bird</strong><span>? I was rather surprised to discover that -without even having to plunge into some hours long deep-dive- the internet does.

Stiff Richards: DIG
<p><span><span>- Originally coming out in the infancy of last year, <em>DIG </em>is seeing a physical release through a German label well versed in rounding up gutter punks and a healthy love for the Australian brand of it. STIFF RICHARDS<strong> </strong>is one of those immediately memorable names with an even more memorable sound, perfectly geared to raze any pub or backyard to the ground then pissing on the rubble they hoicked havoc upon. The Melbourne crew embrace dirty rock'n'roll, unabashed by any clichés.
