Find out whats turning PROJECT321EXPLOSION on during the month of September.
WHY IS ‘State of the Art’ – by the Hilltop Hoods TWISTING CASEY'S NIPPLES?
State of the Art is a rad album. The whole album is amazing and there are a few tracks that i just can't stop listening to. Check out track number 12 - 'Fifty in Five,' this is easily my favourite track on the album. Check out the album, its so good and Hilltop Hoods are the kings of Aussie Hip Hop, they kill it.

WHY IS ‘Sound Awake’ - by Karnivool TWISTING CASEY'S NIPPLES?
This is Karnivool's new album and it is awesome, i was a little sceptical when i first got the album on whether or not they could back up their last album 'Themata' but this album is awesome. The guys from Karnivool absolutely killed it. These guys are easily one of my favourite Australian bands, their albums are amazing and they absolutely kill it live. They're awesome, make sure you check them out.

WHY IS ‘White Rabbits’ TWISTING WALSH'S NIPPLES?
I was torn this month; I have been listening to a number of different albums but I have made my choice. You may think that I have taken the easy way out but not fingering one album in particular, but it’s the “band” and their short but impressive back catalog that had been twisting me this month. Since the White Rabbits released their debut album fort nightly in 2007 I have been severely hooked on their sound. I’m always a sucker for heavy tom use in songs, fuck it! I’ll come clean, I’m a bass rhythm slut, and the white rabbits work it very well. Rhythms started on the piano then expanded by the bass and then exploded by the drums and brought back together by the vocals. I was a little worried about hearing their 2009 sophomore effort It’s Frightening, as they have touring quite extensively since their debut and some bands have trouble writing on the road. My fears that they may resort to recreating what worked so well on their debut were dispelled upon first listen. It’s Frightening is well crafted and produced; the band is learning and developing from album to album and not resting on prior successes, they were still able capturing the ‘raw rolling sea’ emotion that they had on fort nightly but now a little less water logged. I suggest for anyone who digs bands like SPOON (Ha I just researched a distant memory and confirmed that Brit Daniels lead singer of SPOON produced It’s Frightening how funny is that, I think so) Any who I suggest you get both fort nightly & It’s Frightening and start at the beginning and finish at the end.

WHY IS ‘The Boat that Rocked’ TWISTING ABS’ NIPPLES?
I grew up listening to the LP'S of my parents, and those of my frinds and peers, but until I saw this movie, I don't think I truly appreciated what these tunes meant to an entire generation. Or, I'm thinking, I was just to young to understand. But, hindsight is a rosy coloured viewing glass in which we don't appreciate what we've got until it's too late... Goddammit, listen to Hendrix's "Wind Chimes Mary" and think about what it felt like to be a child of the 90's, nevermind the 60's...

WHY IS ‘Babies’ – by Pulp TWISTING A.D.'S NIPPLES?
I still love Britpop. The jangly guitar in the chorus background, the clean and simple guitar lines at the front, the soft synth doesn't even sound cheesy. My heart breaks with the line 'I only went with her cause she looks like you, my god!'. It's a line that's delivered really well.
