180 Discord

180 Discord was from Melbourne, Australia and is one of those bands from 90's that had a really particular sound. As you can see they took their influences from Metal and Punk. It's fast, catchy, technical, their CD is a real gem. I really like the vocals too. They released an EP in 1997 and later Tom Read, the guitarist went to join the big Australian band Bodyjar.

One Inch Punch / Mid Youth Crisis

Everytime I read reviews or comments about this band, I am surprised to see how much people have respect for them. Many people say they are one of the best punk/hardcore band ever... One thing is sure, amongst all the Australian bands, MYC/One Inch Punch is definitely one of those that defined 90's punk scene. Now for some bio.. Everything started in Melbourne in 1993 under the name Downfall. After releasing a small demotape in 1994, they change their name the same year to One Inch Punch and will keep it until 1997 when they are again forced to change their name due to conflict with another band from Europe. So, they change for Mid Youth Crisis, and will release some stuff and play tons of shows before calling it a day in 1998. In 2002, they will reform to play two shows at the Arthouse, and one of them will be recorded and released the year after. They will again reform in 2004 for a couple of shows. If you like them, you may want to search on youtube, you'll find many videos by them.

No Plan B

No Plan B was a 3-piece punk band from Australia. They started in 2001, played many shows with other Australian bands. They released an EP and participated on a couple of local comps. In 2006 they disbanded . On the song I uploaded we can hear their main influences are coming from skatepunk bands, but I think they also had a more pop/punk sound on some of their other songs.

Seeling

I remember when I first heard this band it was in 2000 and at first listen I didnt like them that much.. But some days later I had some of their melodies in the head and then I was listening to their CD at least 5 times a day!! No need to say that Unnatural is one of my favorite album ever!

About some history, Seeling started in summer of 1995 at a time when Bodyjar, Frenzal Rhomb, and One Inch Punch were some of the most popular bands in Australia. Seeling were very influenced by those bands and that's why they started to play a fast kind of punk with some pop and rock influences which reminds Bodyjar and Game Over. What made that band so good is their well-balanced songs supperted by fast drummer and amazing vocals. They had the chance to play with big names from USA like Unwritten Law and Blink 182, as well as the other big bands from Australia. In early 2000 the band stopped... and now remains only in memories..

Screwloose

Screwloose was a fast and technical punk band from New South Wales, Australia that played from 2003 to 2005. During that time, they released 2 small 4-song demos. They were mainly influenced by bands like Belvedere, Choke, Deville etc. but they also had some emo and hardcore influences. They mixed all  of this together and it gave a very good result without losing any speed!!
