Melbourne outlaw grind act Choof have been busy making a name for themselves over the past few years as one of the most outrageous, yet entertaining and extreme bands Australia has produced in years. Now the fruits of their labour have come to a head with the release of their debut 10” vinyl EP “Dimwitted Amoral Exploitation” accompanied by the equally absurd video for the single “Yoghurt Cups”.

Never a band to shy away from, well… anything, Choof bring the chaos hard on this first taste of what the band can conjure up. Intense, noisy, and downright rude, the EP is a fast-paced grind and groove onslaught that leaves the listener aurally assaulted and similarly intrigued. A combination of grating black metal coupled with the intensity and attitude of Australia’s best metal and punk, Choof present an incredibly strong EP for their first offering in the recorded medium.

The video for the track “Yoghurt Cups” is as ridiculous as its sounds, following the adventures of a young man who just wants a “choof”. It's live on social media and Youtube now and also features the band blasting through the track at Melbourne’s infamous “Old Bar” venue in Fitzroy. Choof’s new EP is a must for any fan of the extreme music realm to check out and marks the arrival of a band hellbent on making serious noise in the scene.

Choof have a stack of shows soon to be announced with a very special tour so keep your eyes peeled for details in the near future. Until then, their debut EP “Dimwitted Amoral Exploitation” is available for pre-order now via Dead Set Records and Artist First and digitally through Bloodblast Distribution.

King Parrot is winding back the clock and releasing their bone crushing debut 2011 EP “The Stench Of Hardcore Pub Trash” on vinyl for the very first time. This strictly limited release will be available on 10” vinyl through Housecore Records in North America and Dead Set Records in Australia. Pre-Orders are live now and will be ongoing for the next two weeks as the band revisit their first two music videos for the tracks “Epileptic Butcher” and “Psychotherapy and Valium” on social media platforms. In the midst of touring through Australia as part of their “Regional Rampage” tour, the band are excited to be adding this record to their catalogue, Matt Young from the band says: “The “Stench” EP kicked everything off for us early on, and we were adamant that we wanted to have this recording on vinyl record. It’s a great little EP and we have had countless requests from fans to press it on vinyl over the years. Here it is in all its glory, so snap them up while they are available!”  “The Stench Of Hardcore Pub Trash” pre-orders are live now on both the Housecore Records store and the Dead Set Records store and is streaming on digital platforms worldwide. The vinyl pre-orders are also available with a limited edition long sleeve shirt exclusive to the pre-sale.

From the vault we have found an incredibly limited supply of the debut Pillow album "Goof Rock High" and even more limited supply of T-Shirts from the disbanded Melbourne rockers. Active in the Melbourne scene in the 90's and 00's, Pillow featured members of  King Parrot, Legends of Motorsport, The Ruiner, Duneeater and The Palenecks. With a distinctive sound that could never really be pigeon holed, it would be safe to say they were an amalgamation of all of the aforementioned bands that preceded them. Pillow always remained creative in writing twisted, yet engaging songs with an emphasis on rocking over obscurity, they always bought the party to live shows across the land. Drawing comparison to bands like Clutch, Fu Manchu, Helmet and Ween, it never quite did them justice as their unabashedly Australian approach was undeniable.
