Article: Hysteria Magazine #14 (February/March)

If a tired, grubby copy of Australian Hysteria Magazine #14 isn't resting un-comfortably next to your reverse photosynthesis box right now, then you sir (or ma'am) are missing out. I wrote a pile of copy ten miles high that will also put a smile on your face...just as wide. I got Emilie Autumn (pictured), Scott Ian of thrash mensches Anthrax, Black Veil Brides, Danko Jones, Tomahawk and I'm just getting started. Buy in stores around Oz or swallow one online with your tablet machine.

Note: must be taken as directed, accompanied with a shot of Bonox to the heart.

Review: Bad Religion - True North (The Big Issue)

I've written a review of the incendiary True North by stalwart punk rockers Bad Religion for The Big Issue #424. Pick up a copy for $5, get heaps more great reads (such as a feature on Chet Faker) and help out someone in need.

Article: Top 10 of 2012 - Lies Music Critics Told You (TheVine)

For their Top 10 Music roundup of 2012

Have you ever listened to a record after a reading a review and discovered it just wasn't right?

Sometimes they (we?) get it so wrong it’s like the reviewer walked into your home and told you straight up that your mother is dead. But she isn’t dead. She’s sitting right next to you. Screaming furiously at the stupid reviewer for imputing she’s actually dead. How dare the reviewer. How dare they indeed. (Get out of my house already, you good for nothing reviewer!)

Shake your fist at skewerings of Deftones, Mumford & Sons and Muse reviews at TheVine.
