Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows announce their
Australian tour after the release of their sophomore album ‘The Magnetic
Ridge’. – Melbourne, Victoria.
The band will be setting out on their Australian album release tour aptly
dubbed ‘The Magnetic Ridge Tour’ from the 30th of May 2021.
Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows have been active in Psych/Doom scene
since 2015.
The band originally began as a bedroom project of singer and guitarist
Tim Coutts-Smith.
JHATDC’s music touches on influences of psych rock, fuzz tones and
spaghetti western films.
Throughout their career they have toured Australia multiple times and
performed with acts such as Greenleaf (Sweden), Wo Fat (USA), Hobo Magic,
Comacozer and Holy Serpent.
Jack Harlon’s music has been described as
“A soundtrack to a Tarantino movie set in the landscape of an outlaw’s
travels across the barren desert, high on peyote and searching for a way back
to planet earth. A heavy, trippy, fuzzy record full of bluesy doom and hooligan
twang.” – Jay Morgan – High Desert valley Radio
‘The Magnetic Ridge’ is the long awaited follow up to the band’s debut release
‘Hymns’ which reached #14 on the Doom Charts worldwide. All of the band’s music
delves into the trials and tribulations of a drug addicted western outlaw ‘Jack
Harlon’ who is questioning the reality of the experiences placed before him.
‘Rat Poisoning’ is the first of the singles for The Magnetic Ridge. It is
a 6 and a half minute jam-track about living, and feeling like a rat while
trying to create something beautiful.
Album Reviews:
“Coming 3 years after acclaimed debut album ‘Hymns’, this album sees the
band expand their gloomy style of music. The band play a different style of
Psych Rock, Doom and Stoner Rock with a slight “Americana” and Experimental edge
to their psyche.” – Steve Howe – Outlaws Of The Sun
Been waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint. There’s some All Them
Witches vibes on this one but Jack Harlon really come into their own when they
stomp on that fuzz box and let it rip. The perfect mix of chill and LOUD” –
Jonny Pirie – Hour Of The Riff.

Melbournes Skate Punk extraordinaires BIFF are heading back to Bendigo Hotel this Friday 12th of March with pals Polite Skeletons and The Maggie Pills. As one of the newest additions to the Melbourne punk scene, BIFF have quickly made a name for themselves with their energetic live shows and high-octane songs, which combine the attitude and tempo of classic skate punk with psychedelic guitar playing and lo-fi garage production. The music carries a certain nostalgic quality for many listeners, who are often quick to mention fond memories of playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater on their old PlayStation.
With influences ranging from Descendents and Misfits to Thee Oh Sees and Black Sabbath, BIFF combine this deadly concoction of influences to create collections of punk “bangers” – no nonsense tunes that pack a punch and leave you wanting more.

Sydney
based Doom Metal band “DAWN” finally make their way back to the stage for a
session of riffs with local support from “Shroud” and “Temple in the Sky” on
Saturday March 27th from 8pm.
Since the
worldwide pandemic, “DAWN” has been kept apart between Melbourne (where Dharma
is based) and Sydney (The rest of the band); whilst saddened to let go of a
heap of other shows that were booked in 2020 and 2021.
Their conception in 2016, brought new innovative blood to the
occult doom scene.
In the years that followed, DAWN released their self-titled
EP and single “Day Of The Lord” through Netherlands based D.H.U
Records, and graced the stage alongside heavyweights such as Monolord, Church
of Misery, Cough and Windhand.
A new age
has come and Gaia will once again rise as the mesmerizing hymns of DAWN are
orchestrated at the upcoming show in March 2021.
Are you
awake and are you prepared for this evening of monolithic proportions and heavy
riff worship!
In the month of March 2021, A gift for all lies ahead from our mountain sons. A vision, a sound from the flowers unbound, The Biscuit are back down since spring, to old Sydney Town. Truth be told, the days have been bold, we have long awaited such a creation of gold.
The gurus are coming to “Crush these Rocks” so reach for a tree to keep yourself at ease.With two sittings ahead and friends together; Wicked Things and Large Mirage will create such tremors.And while we pray for the day this song to flourish; look deep at the place you can take your space, for the night gives life to the day that you graced.
