Wretch want you to be a part of their next CD

Go here now to donate.
Read what Wretch had to say:
For as low as $10 you can pre-purchase a digital download of the album (with digital artwork and all the trimmings); $20 gets you a CD, $35 is a (new design) t-shirt and CD; and $60 and over wins you immortality through inclusion in the thanks list in the album art.

Wretch is four-piece grind/death/thrash/METAL!!! band based in Canberra. Since forming in 2011, Wretch has gone from strength to strength. Their live assault has been refined by frequent performances, including a handful of international supports, a number of successful festivals and playing with damn near every metal, hardcore and punk band in the country.The Senseless Violence EP (http://fvckingshitcvnt.bandcamp.com/) was self-released in early 2012 and received positive critical reception.
In the same DIY spirit, they’re recording their full-length album, Because You’re Worthless, for self-release in April and are inviting you to help support the making of this new album. Think of it as being like an extreme metal arts patron, supporting a new world where the record companies and shitty middlemen have all fucked off home and the music lovers have taken over.

Icky Red Bee Album Launch
The ever busy guys from Red Bee have landed a deal with Green Distribution which see's their album, "Ictus", officially launched this Friday, the 26th of October. You'll have to travel though, keen fan, because the launch is in their homeland, the Blue Mountains.
The new album will combine their refined formula of mathy time signatures and progressive key changes with Metal with Hard Rock influences. Each song having a different flavour depending on who created it. The press release claims that often each member brings their own song to the table and on other songs they combine forces to create something altogether different. They've always reminded me of a combination of Helmet, The Butterfly Effect and Botch. The live show is full of energy, showing the experience of being on the road for around 10 years can bring.
