Daddy Cool: Daddy Who? Daddy Cool (Review) [Oztoberfest II Part 8]

And so we come to the last full week of Oztoberfest, and we are returning to the vocals of Ross Wilson with the debut album of Daddy Cool. From all the way back in 1971, the album still holds up today with its retro rock sound (with a couple ballads thrown in). The hits “Come

Song of the Week Jr- Eagle Rock [Oztoberfest II Part 7]

Our last band to feature in this year’s Oztoberfest has been in my life for as long as I can remember thanks to this song. It’s been on my mother’s playlists all the way back to the early 2000s (and probably before). And when my mother and I did our radio-guessing game we had to

Cold Chisel: Twentieth Century (Review) [Oztoberfest II Part 6]

As alluded to earlier this week, today’s review is Cold Chisel’s final studio album before their then-farewell. I chose this album because it contains a song that I had been searching for the studio version for for a long time. That song is the closer “Temptation”. A Barnestorming tune (pun fully intended) riffer that blows

Song of the Week Jr- You Got Nothing I Want [Oztoberfest II Part 5]

We’ve got a bit of a bigger name now in the Australian music game. Last year we looked at lead singer Jimmy Barnes’ solo career, but now we’re giving the full band the spotlight. The song is one of the first I heard by the band and it set the high standard that many of

Mondo Rock- Chemistry (Review) [Oztoberfest II Part 4]

Oztoberfest II, week two, post two. The only two that’s missing is to post this on a Tuesday. But anyway, today’s album was chosen from the band’s discography because it was released in 1981, and that reminded me of the awesome 1981 show on the Lebrain Train. And that’s always a good thing. But to

Song of the Week Jr- Come Said The Boy [Oztoberfest II Part 3]

This week we’re going with a band I’ve never even mentioned on the site before. Not because they’re bad but simply because I haven’t had much experience with them. But they recorded this song, and oh is it a good one. And I rediscovered it recently while going back through the VHSs. So let us

Skyhooks- Guilty Until Proven Insane (Review) [Oztoberfest II Part 2]

So naturally we’ve got a Skyhooks album this week. I’ve gone with an almost random pick here because I’m largely not fond of the band. Of the songs I heard on the radio, only the latest song of the week, “Horror Movie” stuck with me as a song I liked. But can an album deep

Song of the Week Jr- Horror Movie [Oztoberfest II Part 1]

Welcome to Oztoberfest II everyone. As the title suggests, this entire month will be dedicated to Australian bands/artists. This week will be focusing on Skyhooks, a band which I largely don’t like anything from. Today’s song is actually the one song that I truly like. So without further ado, let’s get right into the versions.

Australian Songs of the Week [Oztoberfest Part 9]

And so we come to the final day of Oztoberfest. Today we’ll be doing a songs of the week countdown of entirely Australian performances. The source for these performances will be the Countdown: Live at the Sydney Opera House live album. This live album chronicled the 2017 New Years Eve performances by a whole host

AC/DC: Powerage (Review) [Oztoberfest Part 8]

The final review of Oztoberfest is upon us, and it is the Australian rock giant’s fifth studio album. Why this one? Well it was the first one that came into my head. So let’s get into it. The great Lebrain famously once said that one does not review an AC/DC album as much as they
