The Top 20 Albums Of 2012

December 18, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I haven’t listened to as many full albums as I usually do this year, especially when it comes to Australian music. So more than ever before this really is a list of my favourite albums of the year, rather than the best albums of the year.

Of Monsters And Men @ The Corner Hotel, 20th Of July

July 22, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Of Monsters And Men ‘Little Talks’

May 15, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

f Iceland is anything like how I imagine it in my head then it is the coolest place in the world. Because as far as I can tell it’s some kind of magical land and musical haven with a disproportionate amount of amazing bands and some pretty sweet scenery as well.
