Adelaide’s music scene is diverse, noisy, quirky and well, some of it is really bloody good ASSHOLES WITCH SPIT
Words by Chanel Trezise I’ve made it one of my aims this year to go to more local gigs and listen to more local music. So I thought, heck, why not do some song reviews and recommendations to plug a few brilliant local bands. Here are a few songs (and bands) I’d really recommend you listen to. INSTAGRAM @ witch_spit_
Witch Spit is the resurgent Riot Grrrl, garage-rock, feminist-punk band of my dreams. The song Assholes ties together piercing riffs, loud, frantic drumming and angry vocals into the perfect commentary on misogynistic men. I really loved this song and Witch Spit’s music as a whole. Assholes details the prevalent shitty, disgusting behaviour of men in local, punk music scenes with the perfect amount of badass punk, guitar and bitey melodies to really FACEBOOK say ‘fuck-you’ to misogynistic, Witch Spit well, Assholes.
DIVE MOLLY ROCKET
Molly Rocket orchestrates a beautiful melody of chaotic 90s noise and indie rock. Songs like DIVE are fast-paced, upbeat, catchy and so incredibly fun. I can picture myself dancing along to this song at a gig, or grooving along to it home alone with my headphones in. I love the way the drums and bass coordinate and compliment the lead singer’s beautiful, soft voice. This song, and Molly Rocket’s music as a whole really had a way of wrapping around me and making me smile. INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK @ mollyrocket_adl Molly Rocket
REAL LIFE CITY FEET
Goodness, I loved this song City Feet! It gave me the best, coming-of-age, indie Australianrock vibes. When I heard this song I felt like I was frantically riding a bike home from school, confused but excited as I realised the world isn’t the place I thought it was. I loved the noise of the guitars and drums, the soft and breathy vocals, and the exciting, reeling feeling leading up to and during the chorus. This song and City Feet’s sound are incredibly fun, it makes me feel as though the world isn’t as bad as it is. 50
