The band formed in 2003 by brothers Matt and Mark Robins, who have spent the past 5 years writing and touring their brand of 90's grunge with a dark twist. I had an opportunity to speak to Lead singer Mat Robins about the new album, Covid, and signing with Golden Robot Records. Hello, could you introduce yourselves to new listeners? Hi guys I’m Mat Robins. Singer/guitarist/songwriter for Cicadastone from Melbourne Australia. Thanks for having me!!  Your music has elements of 90’s grunge, How would you describe your style of yourselves? 90’s grunge is a fair assessment. I grew up in that scene and it definitely shaped who I am. So there is no denying Cicadastone’s origins are from those 90’s bands. But I think we also take a different approach. It’s hard to put a finger on but we definitely have our own thing going ...

Based in Oakland and originally from Half Moon Bay , Corso has spent decades immersed in the region’s punk and hardcore underground. This past Friday, March 13, 2026, he dropped his latest EP, Elevate . The four-tracker blends 90's punk with power pop . The tracks are melodic with plenty of punchy choruses. For fans  of bands like Hüsker Dü and The Pixies . All tracks were written and produced by Corso himself. Arriving nearly four years after Lethal Limits’ self-titled debut, Elevate shows improvements with shades of Thin Lizzy-style guitar swagger and heavier 90s grunge , all while keeping focus on the  choruses.

Song Review- Outlaws and Moonshine- Pills 'N' Alcohol

  Single Review by Anselm Anderson Rising Southern Rockers' Outlaws and Moonshine  are back with a message about demons and vice on the new single 'Pills and Alcohol. The follow-up to 'Hillbilly Rockstars' is a raucous three minutes of guitar-driven Southern rock. Formed in 2014 by the VanVolkenburg brothers- Beau (vocals) and bassist Chris, the duo are joined by , Richie Wilkinson (guitar, backing vocals), Mark Oaldon (guitar, vocals) and Eric Piper (drums).  The band comments the track is about feeling like you have found peace because you divulge in your inner demons and vices. The single starts with the cries of   "Far from Me to glamourise cocaine" over a simple, but effective riff. The song builds in tempo before changing to a catchy chorus. The song's addictive refrain of  " I love it" finishes with a salacious guitar solo for an energetic anthem for rock music from the swamplands.
