New Christs - Lower Yourself

The prospect of the New Christs gets people excited. They don't record that often and their live appearances are rare. Where this philosophy would kill most bands, the New Christs appears immune. Focused on their take on rock and roll, they maintain themselves above trends and established music industry dictum.

Lower Yourself is a twelve track rocker of original songs that stretches out beyond the boundaries of what many will perhaps be expecting. Recorded in Sydney at Electric Avenue and mixed at Paradise studios with the assistance of Wayne Connolly, this record will not let down dedicated fans and is sure to win new converts.

Deniz Tek Group - Bad Road

The Deniz Tek Group have a new ep. Bad Road (citcd917) contains the following six tracks, all of which are Tek compositions:

  1. Bad Road
  2. Heavy Air
  3. Workingman's Shoes
  4. Steel Beach
  5. 1968 (live desk recording)
  6. Bad Road (acoustic)
The title track, a ballad, was recorded at Dave Weyer Systems in Montana during last year's Le Bonne Route sessions. It was produced by Dave Weyer and Deniz Tek and features local drummer Clay Green. An acoustic version was done at the same time.

The other tracks showcase the established line-up of: Kent Steedman - Guitar, Jim Dickson - Bass and Nik Rieth - Drums/Percussion. These tracks are a mixture of demos done in 1995 and one live desk recording although no-one can remember where it was done!

DM3 - Garage Sale

Perth's number one power pop unit DM3, has recorded the two albums "1 x 2 x 3 Red Light" and "Road To Rome" for Citadel. Both continue to do well but the early singles and eps are at the point where they are now all but deleted.
