A coupla things to add -
When I was a teenager/young adult I used to go see Spiderbait a lot. Don't know if they are known outside of Oz, but they got more commercially successful after their first few releases and I kind lost touch with what they were doing. But I can verify despite local success they are still as nice and real as they were before, and mostly, their first two EP's [on cd as Shashashaglava] is still a thorougly great spin of Aussie grungy pop-punk-metal.

Also I hear Aztec are going to reissue some Blackfeather stuff soon. For ther uninitiated, the debut, At The Mountains of Madness [which I reviewed in Audion years ago] is perhaps the only one worth getting. Boppin' The Blues is popular here for some reason with the older folks, but it's way more commercial and is in effect a totally different band, playing piano based boogie with no guitar. Live at Sunbury has some ok moments but is again a very different story to the classic debut.
