Tracer – 'Spaces In Between' Album Review by sonicabuse.com

" With a somewhat overcrowded market it takes something truly special to excel in the field of hard rock at the moment and Tracer have that something special in spades. In Michael Brown the band have a prodigious guitarist and a gutsy, talented singer, while the rhythm section of Leigh Brown and Andre Wise play no mere second fiddle– Andre's percussion is solid and engaging throughout while Leigh's bass lines and backing vocals offer plenty to the mix. Moreover this is very obviously a strong band effort from a group of musicians who have had time to travel and develop together making 'spaces in between' a strong, cohesive album with plenty to admire and no obvious flaws. Notably the band also produced the album, and it is clear that they understand clearly the sound their music deserves with the mix offering plenty of fire without one element ever over-powering another. To put it simply, if you enjoy engaging, classic-sounding hard rock with a strong contemporary edge and memorable songs then this excellent record is for you."

If Robert Plant and Jimi Hendrix made love to the sounds of Audioslave, they’d probably sound similar to the likes of Tracer. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, the trio embodies a sonic sledgehammer sound steeped in epic guitars, clever hooks and raw, uncompromising vocals. Tracer’s unique blend of 90’s stoner and 70’s classic rock is winning them over new fans, and landed them with an international record deal.

Current UK/European Tour dates supporting Sweden's The Royal Republic.

Dexter Jones - www.dexterjones.com.au

Dexter Jones is a four-piece alt-pop-rock act from Adelaide Australia. With their catchy guitar driven riffs, vocal harmony hooks, and up-tempo beats, Dexter Jones have been likened to acts such as Franz Ferdinand and The Hives.

Dexter Jones is not "post modern", it's a post-POST modern band: The songs are derived from a wide range of modern musical styles, in each instance, the genre is chosen for its fancied appropriateness to the lyrics, or vice versa. The band has chosen not to follow any one system or philosophy in their song writing. Instead, selecting what they consider to be the best aspects of popular music of the late 20th Century, Dexter Jones serve up an eclectic mish-mash of pop sounds that are still somehow cohesive and new to the 21st century ear.

Front man Matt Soang stirs up a laconic yet melodic mission while the rest of the band thrum and riff around him, culminating in the striking harmonies of their sing-along choruses.

Dexter Jones are currently in pre-production for their much anticipated debut album release and has been pertaining to works of musical architecture, sound decoration and frequency landscaping.

Songs from an over idealistic imagining, from another time - about the love of fishing, pies, and sweethearts, songs of protest, underdog anthems and melancholic musings baked in a crust of roots, rock, folk, soul, and Americana. Huckleberry Swedes, are a five piece featuring BJ Barker on drums, Sam Willoughby on bass/vocals, Richard "The Judge" Coates keyboards/accordion, Mark Elberg on guitars/banjo/mandolin/vocals and Troy Loakes on vocals/guitar.
