Shadow League - Ghosts in Our Sails (Album)
Hullo there! Today we have another piece of something special for you all. It's a Melbourne band called Shadow League, and here's their album Ghosts in Our Sails to hit you in the face with a mighty wallop of goodness. As usual, right click and save on a song title to GET DA SONG. Here's Dave from the band to give you all a rundown:
We play folk/punk/rock and have been around for a few years but this is our first release as a 3 piece.
The self recorded album features backups from Wil Wagner (Of Smith Street Band fame) and Lucy Wilson.
Foxtrot - The Bottom Line (EP)
[i]Why, hello there chaps and chappettes, welcome to another fine edition of Duderocket's FREE MUSIC FRIDAY, where not only is the music for free but it's also Friday. How can you argue with that?
Spilt Milk - Justin Time (Demo)
I'm very excited about today's Free Music Friday as I don't think these songs have ever been available online before. This is the first demo tape released by the Western Sydney punk band Spilt Milk. I first heard of this band when I was in Year 11 at school... some guys at school had their own band called 'Linoleum' and they did a cover of a Spilt Milk song (The Simpsons) at school during lunchtime once. I thought it was the best thing ever, and one of the guys in the band told me it was by this band called Spilt Milk. Anyway, I managed to get my hands on a copy of a demo tape after that and I listened the absolute shit out of it. I thought it was the greatest thing ever.
The Bernie Lomax Five - Shane (Demo)
The Bernie Lomax 5 is a band I'm in, and this is a (mostly) unreleased demo that we recorded in 2009. The four songs were older songs that had missed out on being recorded for our other two CDs, so we were keen to get these recorded in some form before we lost interest in them altogether. As a result, these songs are mostly of the punkish/rock n roll variety, written before the band got a bit more ambitious about songwriting. We intended to sell this CD for about $2 or to just give it away, but I think I only made up about 20 copies before we stopped bothering. Some randoms out there have copies of it, but other than that it's mostly just been available in online form.
Extra Limb - Demo
Extra Limb were a Sydney punk band that formed around 1999 and kicked some rad jams for at least seven or eight years after that. Maybe longer! Vocalist/bassist Alex 'Party Cat' Sepansky now sings and plays guitar on his own, but he was party-happy enough to give Duderocket permission to offer the following 2006 demo tracks for free download, and he also kindly wrote a song guide for your reading pleasure. (Right click and save to get each one).
1. Out Of My Head
This song was written about my little brother. It was the first in a series of songs I wrote for him. Almost every band I’ve been in that I’ve sung for I’ve tried to dedicate one to him. Not really sure why.
Game Over - Shotgun (EP)
A couple of weeks ago we put up the first EP from Melbourne pop punkers Game Over, and now to usher a whole new year of Duderocketing we've made their second EP Shotgun available as well. As with the first EP, vocalist Adam most bodaciously gave us permission for these MP3s to ride the free eRainbow into your homes or mobile phones.
Right click and save yo!

Best music of 2011 mix!
For today's FREE MUSIC FRIDAY I have uploaded a mix of awesome tunes from various albums that were released in 2011. It has been an incredible year for music and I feel it is important to celebrate all the great shit that was released! I am not going to type out a track list so that it will be a surprise (and also because I can't be bothered).
Click here to download the mix!
The Unreleased Nerf Jihad Compilation
This compilation was supposed to be released with issue #10 of my zine, Nerf Jihad. Since I am pretty sure that zine will never exist, I guess I won't be releasing the compilation either. As some nice people in some great bands gave me permission to use their music (some even supplying exclusive tracks!) I thought it was shitty for me to not actually ever do anything with them, so here it is for you to download and listen to (and put on your ipod if you're that way inclined).
Basically this compilation features a bunch of my favourite Australian bands and solo artists, the bands and solo artists who I was listening to a lot while I was putting these zines out.
Game Over - One Down (EP)
Melbourne band Game Over were one of those pop-punk bands that everyone uniformly seemed to love in the mid to late 90s... there were a whole heap of bands of this style and it was around this time that Fat Wreck Chords and all the bands on that label (Lagwagon, NoFX, Diesel Boy, etc, etc) were getting a lot of exposure over here in Australia. It was only natural that we'd develop our own counterparts, and Game Over are probably one of the more remembered of these bands (and definitely an Australian highlight of the subgenre). Vocalist Adam was a staunch enough fellow to give us permission to put the band's first EP up for download.
Draft Dodger - Modern Martyr (EP)
Draft Dodger were a Brisbane-based hardcore band that (and my details are a little hazy here) tore shit up between 2004 and 2008. Vocalist/frontman Neil gave us permission to make available the following EP, and Neil kindly donated some wise words about each song. As usual, right click and save on the song title to get the song. Enjoy!
1. Get Outa Town
The lyrics for this one sums up my life at this point pretty perfectly. I was working night shift at the post office, and pretty much drinking beer and listening to hardcore the rest of the time.
Albums/EPs
Human heaven? Goodness me! Humans don't go to heaven! No, someone made that up to prevent you all from going nuts!
