Perfect example of what Sydney/Australia is like. I've never heard either of these bands and I'd consider myself pretty clued onto whats happening.
Sydney bands I think rule include:
Dead Farmers (Comets on Fire meet psych garage punk, real young dudes) Castings (weirdo free music 6 piece, Olson of Wolf Eyes released one of their albums, Chocolate Monk in the UK released another)
Happy Go Hate Fuck (no good recordings to date but must see free jazz/grindcore/destruction group live)
Moonmilk (beautiful keyboard drone/ambient duo, cassette out on DNT), Circle Pit (ex-Kiosk, kinda like Royal Trux but some slow dual guitar jams as well)
Wog (Ray from Hard-ons in bass and drum duo)
Other current Australian bands I think rule:
Man Killed (drone-rock type stuff, obvious SY influence but still highly original. From Canberra)
Zond (Friggin amazing drone from Melbourne, condenses what most bands would do over 15 min into 4 min. Great guitar freak-outs and riffs)
True Radical Miracle (Sludgy, birthday party-ish band but filtered through hardcore punk))
Popolice (like a one man MBV, kinda)
Red Red Krovvy (boy/girl thrashy/arty/teenagery punk from Cairns, QLD. Like Harry Pussy but has no idea who that is as they are all 16)
ZEROpumpkins, if any of those bands sound interesting I'm pretty sure they all have Myspace sites. Seriously there is some good shit right in your backyard, no matter what you like.
