Every now and then labels or the companies promoting their product companies send me copies of stuff to enjoy and review, it’s a great side effect of running this website and doing the show on Goonbag Radio.  Unfortunately a lot of the time I’ve already got a copy or got a copy coming and I end up with doubles, so I pass them on.

Vents-Marked For Death

TONIGHT on Goonbag Radio at 7pm AWST or 9pm AEST, I’ve got a small Golden Era Records prize pack you can win:

1. 1 x Vents-Marked For Death (CD)
2. 1 x Hilltop Hoods-Parade of The Dead (DVD)

You’re going to need a twitter account and it’s all going to require you’re listening to Goonbag Radio between 9pmAEST and 10pmAEST if you want in.  The only thing I’m going to suggest is that you better keep your Vents close if you want to win.  So tune in to Goonbag Radio tonight at 9pm AEST or 7pm AWST be logged into twitter, follow us on twitter and you’re 75% on the way to winning.

WA microphone master and Syllabolix crew member Hunter is going to be the subject of a documentary being produced by Periscope Pictures aptly titled Hunter: The Documentary. I don’t really know a lot about it yet, but you can check out the trailer below.

It seems to have some of the footage from the night at Launch, here in WA a few months back, when Brothers Stoney performed for the first time in a LONG time and handed Hunter his oversized novelty cheque with the funds raised from the Heat4Huntz auction.  So if you missed that performance (and let’s be honest heaps of you did!), it alone would make the documentary worth grabbing when it comes out.

Vents and Golden Era Records drop a video for History of The World.  History of the World is the lead single of Vents‘ new album Marked For Death which is due out on Golden Era Records May 13.  In the mean time you can cop the single in the video below or grab it now from iTunes.

Drapht‘s new album The Life of Riley hit stores last Friday and after week of enjoying it I can quite safely say you really better buy this.  With almost all of the production being covered by Trials (not Trails) of Adelaide crew The Funkoars, it’s hitting home runs track after track.

Drapht - The Life of Riley

The album has been released on Drapht‘s own label, The Ayems which has distribution through Sony Music! That’s a huge step forward after doing his last two albums signed to Obese Records, and no doubt brings a lot more pressure to deliver and a lot of pleasure when you do.

“Never in my life have I put so much time and energy into one single thing. Mentally, the making of this album broke me and drove me to the brink of insanity on so many different occasions, a song wasn’t worthy of the record unless it did so.”

You can grab Drapht's new album The Life of Riley on iTunes now, or go grab it from your local CD store. Also, get out of the house for a while and go catch the man and his abnd on tour all around the country, the details are below.

Update: Word from Drapht is the album hit #1, congrats to EVERYONE envolved in putting that together. HOME RUNS!
