Gyroscope – Sound Shattering Sound

Listening to this brings back a lot of memories of high school. I listened to this album a lot. ‘Sound Shattering Sound’ is Gyroscope’s debut album. It is full of extremely catchy indie rock n roll with angst filled melodies.

FFO: Trial Kennedy, Horsell Common and Kisschasy

Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel As School Children


Hip Hop for kids that shop at Hot Topic

FFO: AP Magazine

Guttermouth – Musical Monkey


I remember when I first herd this record I wasn’t too impressed. Coming back to it a few years later I’m still rather listen to NOFX. Sure there are some great songs to listen to on this but that is it.

FFO: NOFX

Guns Up! – Outlive


Heavy on the mosh hardcore. I enjoyed ‘Outlive’ a lot when it came out and still enjoy this album quite a bit. Stage dive to this.

FFO: Terror, No Warning and Down To Nothing

Gunnerson – Paper Tigers


Another mini album up for free download via Death To False Hope Records. Gunnerson play rocky punk that gets you singing along. The recording could be a little tighter at times but the song writing overshadows that.

FFO: Samiam, The Loved Ones and Small Arms Dealer

Gunmoll – Board of Rejection

I herd some Gunmoll songs on splits and comps but while liking what I herd, I never really bothered to try and track down any of their albums. I had a few beers and threw this CD on and I am now hooked. This is the typical No Idea Records affair (I know I may be taking the easy way out by saying that but it’s true). Mike Hale’s gruff vocals growl perfectly along this melodic punk rock. I love this.

These guys are inactive now which is disappointing. Here’s hoping a reunion at this years Fest.

FFO: Hot Water Music, The Tim Version and Leatherface


The Gun Runners – A Few Friends

The first time I checked The Gun Runners out was at the Lansdown Hotel. I think they were playing with Easy Company and maybe The Optionals. I had a few beers and they played an Avail cover. That was enough for me. The next morning I woke up and discovered that I had bought this album.

The Gun Runners are from Melbourne, playing melodic punk rock. ‘A Few Friends’ is their debut album and with 14 tracks it’s got both quantity and quality. If you like the stuff that Poison City Records put out then chances are you will love this.

FFO: Easy Company, Avail, Mid Youth Crisis
