First time collab-ing with Harriet in about 10 years or something? Looking forward to cranking some noisy darkness just like the ol’ days. Here’s some sounds from the ol’ days…
From 2017 to 2024 Radio bar had been at the center of some the best noise/drone shows to hit the city with a tonne of dope memories made. The bar became a home for some of the best and weirdest shit you could ever have the misfortune of walking past on a busy sunday in fitzroy.
Unfortunately all goods must come to an end as we host what will be the final noise/drone at radio bar. Come with us to celebrate and get fucked up by noise one last time.
Featuring:
Agnostic Hunk (ft. members of skxi)
External Organ (ft. members of Whitehorse)
Body Horror (special one off reform)
Birthday Girls Orchestra (ft. members of Ultracancer/Dead Resonance/Pubis Mons/Worthless Scum)
Very sad to be saying goodbye to Radio Bar after many years of mad noisy gigs. Big cheers to owners and absolute legends Caryn & Paul for their support and enthusiasm for hosting gross underground sounds. Mega cheers to homies Anthony Cooley & Rod Cooper for organising stuff, keeping it real and working hard to cultivate a welcoming community and good vibes. Despite the bummer I’m well psyched to collab with fellow noise-lovers Bean, Anthony, Shane for FESTERING ASTHMATIC SLOP DONKEY! No doubt it will be faaaaarkin brutal!
Recorded + Mastered by Jason Fuller at Goatsound / Mixed by Xavier Irvine at Loaf / Copyright infringement + layout by ESP MAYHEM – ”What’s mine is mine / What’s yours is also mine”
So psyched with how this turned out! This is our first recording that really nails the ESPM sound – thick, loud, unique, crazy! Technically ESPM is a very hard band to record & mix but Jason & Xavier did an amazing job getting it all together while being mercilessly overseen, scrutinised and nitpicked by us. Stream it on Bandcamp or Spotify, physical copies available through the emails in the flyer above and also at The Searchers in Melbourne, Repressed in Sydney or Bad Habit in Nambour, and more distros and shops as we spread it around.
ESP MAYHEM ‘Cyber Bully’ 7” launch with WELL, GIL CERRONE and HORMAGAUNT
Melbourne’s most sonically obnoxious and morally reprehensible bunch of sticky-fingered little shits have finally superglued enough other people’s intellectual property together to bring the cacophonous ‘Cyber Bully’ EP to fruition. ESP MAYHEM crassly fuse grindcore, gabber, industrial, metal and a blatantly slavish adhesion to the KLF’s dogma through the use of 3 keyboards, a drummer and vocals. Luddite ‘electronica’ for the primitive future.
‘Support’/upstaging comes courtesy of 3 true powerhouses, consisting of:
𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 – This town’s supreme scions of the angular and bristling point where the weirder, more discordant ends of metal, hardcore and sludge met in the mid/late 90s and all genres hit their most rewarding sweet spots. These guys refuse to take their feet out of that beartrap to keep bleeding the rich blood of Kiss It Goodbye, Unsane, Breach and Neurosis.
𝐆𝐈𝐋 𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 – One of the recent wave of bands taking on the heroic task of stopping ‘screamo’ from being a dirty word. Heralding back to the fire-bellied explosions of arrhythmic dissonance and benign violence they take the pure essences of this abused and embattled genre and inject it full of fresh ideas, fantastic songs, tasteful dramatics and a heap of speed.
𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 – like the rest of the bill play a genre plagued with mediocrity and predictability but shove enough electricity up its ass to have the corpse brimming with new life. Nominally ‘old school death metal’ these guys know where the riches are hidden and are an unstoppable, uncontrollable example of making death metal exciting, inventive and engaging again, all the while staying exceptionally brutal.
