    Try as hard as I can, I can’t divorce Tantichrist frontman Nicky Steps from his alter ego in Australia Uber Alles, the country’s best and maybe only Dead Kennedys tribute act. That’s not such a bad thing, considering how good a Jello he makes and the sonic and lyrical similarities in Tantichrist.

    So the basics: Tantichrist is a four-piece from Sydney's woke Inner Western heartland and this is their debut album. It’s on Evil Tone who never miss. It’s raucous and sometimes melodic punk rock – or more correctly, rock punk – that’s tightly wound and lytically charged.

    10 things that made me hoppy this year (in no particular order) 

    Mudhoney at Wollongong Uni
    A band I’ve wanted to see for many, many years and every time I’ve been close to seeing them, something has gone wrong, so I was stoked just to make it to this show. I was even more stoked when they played an amazing set, chock full of classics. Not showing their age in the slightest. 

    Descendants at the Metro, Sydney
    Another band I’d always wanted to see but always missed - been a fan ever since someone put "Everything Sux" in my hand sometime in the late ‘90s. Didn’t know what to expect given Milo had a heart attack less than two months before the gig, but i needn’t have worried. They started and just kept going till the end - pretty much no breaks - just one killer song after another. Tight and more than alright. 

    The Mark of Cain at the Metro, Sydney
    Playing their album "Ill At Ease" from start to finish (and throwing in a few from “Battlesick” and “This Is This” to close out the night). Tight as a fishes arsehole. One of the best things I’ve seen in years. crowd loved it and every song was spot on. Brutally good. If there was any justice in the world this band would have been huge.
