Australia’s sunshine state is a veritable breeding ground for this surfy garage pop sound, and the lads from DUNE RATS are  killing it. Hooking up a slew of international supports as well as throwing down at a handful of east coast parties, they just scored a slot at The Big Day Out, Australia’s premier home grown festival  (and somewhat of a right of passage for Aussie bands). They have an EP on Bandcamp (its only $6 chump) featuring POGO, a song that has given them some much deserved attention. Here’s the video, filmed at the Mt Gravatt quarry in Queensland, fuck it rips!

Spending as much time in New York and the UK as back at home, Australian lads Bleeding Knees Club are killing it right now with their garage-punk raucousness. Riding the waves from their Virginity EP and relentless touring (supporting the likes of Wavves and Lightspeed Champion, no less, as well their own headline shows) they’ve quickly made a name for themselves as purveyors of loose surf-garage-punk. They’re recording their debut album which should drop early 2012, keep your eyes peeled. This is the first cut from the album, it fucking rips!
