Well that time of year is coming upon us again... Festival Season.
The Big Day Out lineup was released today and i couldn't be happier... MUSE headlining!
Festivals are a strange thing... the best ones are on when the climate is least tolerable... Summer.
Days reach 40 degrees and everyone flocks to an open location to squeeze up close and share body heat. Energy is expelled as more heat as we jump synchronusley together, sweat coating everyone around us.
We drink heavily, sugary drinks which only add to the dehydration, causing us to answer it with more drinks of the same sugar content. Snacks with high salt, drugs that make us want to snack... an endless cycle of bad consumption choices.
Music Blares out of the speakers loudly... bursting our delicate eardrums, reducing the amount we can hear the next time round.
We leave the festival medically unfit, full of alcohol and drugs, sweating profusely and exhausted. Sunburnt and Tired. And the next year we do the same again.... why?
Because it's Fucking Awesome!
Rock on Festival Goers.... i'll see you in the Sun!

Sounding like a mix between Miami Horror and Bag Raiders these young guys have created possibly the most well produced track on Unearthed i have ever heard. These High Schoolers have created an amazingly well produced track that is catchy and pleasant to listen to, reminding me of chilling on a beach, beer in hand waiting for a big night ahead. This song is a great lead up to summer and has been on very high rotation on my computer. Enjoy with a cold beer and dreams of holidays!
"Now by the last day your probably thinking summers the worst
coz all that time out in the sun left you covered in burns
and smothered in dirt, the site of all the dunnies is worse
and all the food shops are gone when your so hungry it hurts
all you wana do is sleep but you’ve got packing to do
squash up in that car and jump back in the queue
yeah i no we all complain about the pain when it ends
but next year we’ll save up and do the same shit again"
