Introduction paragraphs are for the weak, I am too metal for them!
This is an Unearthed Review! If you do not like it, then I apologise!
I am reviewing The Death Storm, they are a storm of death.
Here is what they have to say about themselves:
Originally formed sometime during 2007 with both Ben and Lance still in [...]

My list of bands to review gets shorter, and I pretend I can see a light shining from exit from this labyrinth of Unearthed Reviews.
It feels good to pretend.
Today we meet Teen Skank Parade, a rock/metal group who have a pretty cool band name. The band name however is nowhere near as cool as the [...]

Unearthed Reviews need you!
Actually they don’t, they just need me and the bands up on the Unearthed site.
Today my magic RNG spat out the number 13, and the 13th band on my list was GhostNoises, a one man pop-rock act.
Here’s what he has to say about himself:
Hi my name is Liam. I am 21 and [...]

So when I came up with Unearthed Reviews 2.0 and decided to randomly select from a list of bands with interesting names, I was positive I’d be getting a lot of really terrible bands and that would be funny.
Despite my best efforts however, I keep finding bands that are actually kinda fun. I’m still finding [...]

Chronicling my great journey through the plains of Canberran bands is my series of Unearthed Reviews!
Time for another thrilling chapter!
My quantum number for today was 22! That means I would be facing world of cobras.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves… actually they have nothing to say about themselves. Nothing at all, they don’t [...]

Unearthed Review? I hardly know her!
Some days intros do not come easily.
Today my magic RNG gave me the number 1, so today we listen to Thunder Bus.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
We made a bus out of cardboard and we named it “Thunder Bus”
Here’s what I have to say about them:
They’re not very [...]

Time for another Unearthed Review.
Booting up the old RNG, I get a 15. 15 means KNIGHT~HAMMER.
I went to their page, their band image was broken, they listed themselves as Metal/Rock, their intro was almost non-existent. I readied myself for a whole lot of messy guitar noise with some talent-less roaring over the top.
I got [...]

Unearthed Reviews 2.0 delivers it’s next update.
Today the random number generator told me 18, which means I’m reviewing DRAGONSHEAD.
Good name.
It’s probably supposed to be Dragon’s Head, but I can’t help but read it Dragon Shead. I’m aware a ‘shead’ isn’t actually a thing, but I can’t help but see it.
In my head it’s pronounced ‘Dragon [...]

Having finished my epic task of reviewing each and every ACT band with a drum on the Unearthed site, we needed to find a new direction for Unearthed Reviews to go.
This is what we have came up with.
I went through the listing of ACT artists and selected a short list of bands to review. Whenever [...]

When I started these Unearthed Reviews I was given very simple instructions.
Go look though the ACT artists alphabetically. If you see an artist or group with a green or red drum next to their name that we haven’t reviewed, review them.
Simple. Except I’ve now done a full loop.
I’m gonna need a new way to pick [...]

Why I haven’t done an Unearthed Review in 4 days! How on Earth have you all been coping?
It’s ok, we’ll get you your fix with Kempsey.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
Kempsey draws it’s life from a broad world of influences. From the guitar driven riff-rock of Television, to the mood-filled hangover of [...]

Our epic quest to do an Unearthed Review for every ACT artist that has a drum next to their name is almost at an end. We’ve only got three bands left!
The first of those three is Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens have [...]

Unearthed Reviews! I may not currently be in the ACT, but my heart is still there, and today it’s listening to Mornings.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
mornings in it’s current form has been together since mid 2011.
our music is made up delayed and distorted guitars;
looped and effected bass;
loud, sporadic drums;
and sparse vocals.
we have [...]

One day the masses will look up and shout “Give us another Unearthed Review Barcham!”… and I’ll look down and whisper “No.”
Sadly today is not that day.
Who are we visiting today? Why it’s Kodakbeatbox who I thought normally was just called Kodak… but whatever.
Here’s what Kodakbeatbox has to say about himself:
Kodak (Karthik Lakshman) is [...]

Every time I make a typo, I owe Johnboy another Unearthed Review. I may be here forever.
I checked the list and the next name on it was Citizen Kay. Ok here we go again
Here’s what he has to say about himself:
Originally born in Ghana, then moving to the Capital of Australia while still very young, [...]

I should really learn that whenever Johnboy asks me “Are you writing anything right now?” he is always going to follow up with “Unearthed Review time!”
Today I find on my list the Bus Vipers, and I marvel at how much a good band name can sway my opinion on a band.
What they have to say [...]

Unearthed Reviews are a part of my everyday life now. I have to accept this. Today I spent some time listening to Totara Jack.
Here’s what he has to say about himself:
Dreamt up alone in a crowd in a far foreign land.
A first step for a new solo project.
With the help of Lachlan Carrick (Gotye) and [...]

It’s Unearthed Review time! Johnboy didn’t even have to twist my arm today. It seems he has trained me well. I don’t like that.
I do like The Fighting League though.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
tropical is dead as the climate is cooling and the winter we want is here general pants started reading [...]

How long can I keep digging through the Unearthed Review backlog before I break down? Let’s find out!
I pulled up the list and scrolled down to see which name came after Slagrugrhyme’s and was delighted to spot The Brass Knuckle Brass Band.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I really like the Brass Knuckle Brass Band. I like the people [...]

Johnboy quakes with laughter when he orders me to write another Unearthed Review, and I’m powerless to do anything about it.
Ahh well. Next on my list is Stateovmind… wait what? Stateovmind? Yes. I read that correctly, ok fine. Moving on.
Here’s what Unearthed has to say about him:
He may be new to your ears but [...]

My enslavement in the Unearthed Review mines continues. Today I dug up SAFIA.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
“Electronic indie has come out of the woodwork of late. Not content simply to play bit parts and supporting rolls in niche clubs or appear as remixes on iPod shuffles, the Venn diagram of genres has [...]

“Back to the Unearthed Reviews!” said Johnboy.
Cool! Next on our list of bands to look at are the Revellers, a three piece act that sound like being 18 in Belconnen feels. It’s actually a shame they weren’t around back when I was 18 in Belconnen because I would have loved them. As [...]

I continue to inexpertly steer the Unearthed Reviews towards glory.
The next band on the my list is Raw City Rukus, a six-piece hip hop group whose music managed to get Johnboy and I to shut up for a bit and stop cracking jokes about the Bumblebee for a few minutes. This is an achievement worth [...]

So I’ve been told to revive the Unearthed Reviews from wherever forgotten internet features reside. Apparently Pocket Fox were next on the list to be reviewed so it falls to me to spend this morning listening to their songs on Unearthed, while staring out the window at the beautiful weather today and feeling pretty good [...]

At this time there are 765 artists on the TripleJ Unearthed website who self identify as being of the ACT.
We tried reviewing them at random, but the sheer awful nature of many of the entries sapped our will to live up here in the Eagle’s Nest.
We then slogged through the “drummed” artists to more pleasing [...]
