in other words, the list of bands triple j will slam no matter what. turning more and more into a commercial station with how much the labels are dictating what they play.

incredible indigenous band from north queensland, probably the best inclusion on the list. the majority either merely fit the bill of where triple j's sound is heading or they have already made it in 2011 anyway.

Yes! SSB are fantastic, their album is one of the best Aussie releases of the year and they were fantastic supporting Fucked Up.

I particularly like the band Love Migrate who are kicking around melbourne atm, they have not even released their EP yet but they are getting a little air time now and are excellent live/
