This July Life Is Noise will bring the US Southern sludge trio Weedeater, known for their cough syrup swilling and hot sauce snorting antics, to Oceania, which will be supported by the brutally monolithic and mercilessly heavy UK outfit Conan. This is bound to be a menacing, heavy and destructively loud Australia / New Zealand tour, with stops in Wellington, Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Details about Life Is Noise, the upcoming Weedeater/Conan tour can be found here.

Life Is Noise is thee Australian touring company when it comes weird, genre-pushing, experimental and exciting music. From dense noise to droning doom, tripped out acid-rock to screams, metal and all the spaces in between. They have brought some of the best boundary-pushing bands in rock, metal, psych, noise and post-rock down under, many of them for the first time. With personal preferences and passions as the compass, they only go in to bat for artists they love and deserve to be heard and seen, discovered and dissected, celebrated and mythologised.

Weedeater is a perfect example, taking the suggestive themes of drug abuse and sacrilege made famous by Sabbath to new heights but … Read more

That's right: this year is already half empty. Or half full. Something like that? Metaphors aside, we at SPB have distilled the best music of the year so far into a delicious glass that you can sniff at delicately, taste a sip and pontificate over whether Faith No More's comeback … Read more
