1.
Underground
Combining the elements of electric and acoustic rock,
Underground have created a unique sound of their own. With the expert assistance
of engineering team Lach Wooden and Mikey Young (aka Eddy Current), the boys
have exploded back into action with a brand new EP filled with powerful riffs
and foot stomping energy.
THE BAND: Sean - Vocals/Guitar, James - Guitar, Clay - Bass,
Evan – Drums
Following a successful year playing a number of live shows
at local venues, Underground have continued to broaden their horizons.
Channelling a wide range of rock influences the band have exploded back into
action with their latest recording “Wise Up”, an EP filled with powerful riffs
and foot stomping energy. Recorded with the assistance of experienced local
sound engineer Lachlan Wooden (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The Cat Empire,
Clairy Browne), Underground have further expanded their unique blend of
melodic, alternative and acoustic rock. With a fresh sound, a diverse and
energetic live set and a stack of new material, the boys are bringing their
very own acoustic vibe to the stage.
A little truth goes a long way, especially when the message
comes in the form of music! Get up, stand up and wise up is what millions are
saying all over the planet and of course it started Underground. The first
single “Wise Up” from their album by the same name, is a real solid tune,
guaranteed to start your feet tapping and your head boppin’. What a great way
to kick off this edition of United Music Mag.

Southbound Snake Charmers – (Blues)
The Southbound Snake Charmers are a Blues Rock power trio
that use elements of Psychedelia, Stoner, Swamp and Voodoo Blues to conjure up
their own unique sound, producing an eclectic experience the band like to call
"Big Chunky Grooving Psychedelic Electric Dirty Blues!"
Although the bands overall sound may be hard to pigeon hole,
influences of Cream, Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy shine through and Chris’
Vocals have at times been compared stylistically to that of Johnny Winter.
Supporting some of their favourite acts like Collard Greens
& Gravy, Bo Jenkins and Dave Tice (Buffalo), the band have performed around
Melbourne since 2013
The band’s debut EP “The Dirt Blues” was released in 2014
and the follow up EP “Voodoo chicken Shack” in 2016 which is gaining overseas
interest.
What started out as 3 guitarists playing their original
style of delta blues has progressed through various stages of blues
experimentation until reaching where they are today, a
power trio.
What’s not to like about this band? Awesome rockin’ swaying
blues with an attitude! That’s what the “Southbound Snake Charmers” bring to
the table with their second EP “VooDoo Chicken Shack”. A five song EP that
should be in your rock music collection!
My personal favourite, and it was hard to pick one from this
EP, is “Moonshine Runners Blues”, an Infectious rockin’ Blues tune packed with
energy to capture your soul and take you down the road at high speed. But don’t
take my word for it, check out the FULL EP to discover what I mean by 5 great
tunes! Then see what they are up to by visiting their social links. (See Below)

4.
Psychic Ills
When it comes to following the beat of their own drum, New
York’s Psychic Ills have exemplified the phrase since their beginnings in 2003.
Initially spawned from electronic-centered home recording experiments, they
progressed into an all-night full-band exploration in a neighborhood where noise
wasn’t a problem.
The Psychic Ill’s caught my ears on Bandcamp recently as I
was browsing what’s new in music. Once I started listening to their album
“Inner Journey” I found I couldn’t stop listening, as the mellow psychedelic
hooks were too pleasing to let go. Their song “I Don’t Mind” is truly a state
of mind as is their new album “Inner Journey”. Why not check it out on Bandcamp
and then check out what the band is up to by visiting their social websites.
I don’t mind - (2016)
