Event Reviews
Schvendes, French Rockets, Pacific by Rail @ Shape 15/08/08
There are really only so many times one person should review a band before it begins to look like the reviewer is on the payroll, Schvendes is one of those bands unfortunately, so there will be no lyrical waxing over their Friday performance.

Releases
Schvendes - Sweet Talk Your Enemies
Take Nick Cave’s seed, incubate in PJ Harvey for nine months, and you’d produce a voice pretty close to Schvendes lead singer Rachael Dease.
Schvendes - Turn Out Your Lights
On Turn Out Your Lights, Perth art-rock sextet Schvendes have a dark, edgy sound drawing from a huge range of influences. With the help of headphones and a dark room, Turn Out Your Lights becomes one of those EPs on which every track is a standout.
