Episode 3 - 18-09-2008

Well kids! late updates are better than none.

this week saw the on-air review of the spectacular new 6 track EP by melbourne's The Diamond Sea.  

The Diamond Sea - Slow Signal EP

A true diamond in the rough,  Slow Signal, the debut EP from Melbourne band the Diamond Sea is a frenticly paced celebration of indie-rock.  

Stand out track "safekeeping" plays like a long-lost sleater-kinney b-side.  Dual vocals shout and sing together in unison over angular guitar riffs that weave their way through the track.  

Slow Signal is a sign of things to come from a promising, upcoming melbourne band who have a tight, refined sound.

Keep a watchful eye out for them.

PRO: even the instrumental tracks hold their own weight. Strong, punchy indie-rock.  a must own for fans of 2000-2002 era pretty girls make graves and sleater-kinney. 

CON: there's only six tracks here.

you can order your copy of the Slow Signal EP via Yellow Ghost Records.

Episode 2 - 11-09-2008

Isn't it amazing! The LHC has been turned on and we haven't all been sucked into a large black hole yet.   That means you can tune into tonight's episode of flip.the.tape and not suffer the lingering effects of space-time distortion and spaghettification as our planet is ripped asunder.

On tonight's show:

• A Look at the new forthcoming Raein Release, "Nati Da Altri Padri", as well as a retrospective look at some of Raein's earlier work.
  
• a swag of 90s emo from Rainer Maria, Bob Tilton to Ribbon Fix
• A look at post-emo/indie-emo and its evolution starting with Cap'n Jazz and ending with solo-acts such as Owen, Reflexes and Sydney's Oh Messy Life.
• and a bunch of other stuff I want to play because I know Dan Vo will convert from Opera to emo very soon (I even bought him eyeliner!)

In other news:

Podcasting for flip.the.tape is in the works,  episodes should be available in the not-too-distant future via this blog and hopefully through the JOY website.
