DOWNLOAD: Lorax – Unless Demo
Free for download from their myspace. Lorax are a Canberra band featuring members of McClane (playing different instruments), Girl Sized Hands, Sevenen etc. They cite influences from the likes of Rites of Spring, Nation Blue, Eucalypt, Quebec, Drowned Out and To The North. Another great band from Canberra to show up and lets hope they stick round and tour up this way often and in abundance.

McClane’s new self-titled EP is out now!
If you don't know McClane then you should. They're an energetic grind/hardcore band from 2 parts Canberra and 1 part Melbourne. These dudes are best described as a cross between Iron Lung, Pig Destroyer, Converge and Agents of Abhorrence - that is to say 'the goods'.
They've just released a brand new 7 minute self-titled EP which I'm very keen to check out. Their demo was great fun, and I was impressed with their energy when I caught them live. Also, they wore singlets with John McClane quotes written mock blood. How can you top that?
Head over to their MySpace page where you can download their Push Start demo, a live bootleg and preview some of the new tracks.
Shitloads of free downloads!
Well, I really can't be fucked tracking down some kind of cool download for today, so instead I'm going to feed through links of some of the past downloads we've featured. If you'd like your band featured for a download, just hit me up at criticalzombieholocaust (att) gmail (dott) com

Download: McClane – Push Start
McClane hail from Canberra (now two parts Canberra, one part Melbourne) and play power-violence, grind and Bruce Willis inspired hardcore, and have been nice enough to let everyone steal their demo Push Start. Having had the pleasure to play with these guys live, they're well worth checking out.
Mixing the straight up aggression of Iron Lung and Man is the Bastard with the more technical aspects of The Dillinger Escape Plan, the noisy hardcore of Converge and the blasting violence of Pig Destroyer and Agents of Abhorrence - McClane a definitely an Australian band to keep an eye out for!
Downloads it: Ho ho ho now I have a machine gun.
