Class of 2005
As 2005 draws to a close and everyone starts to fondly remember shit that never actually happened, BUST! reminds you of some fucking decent hardcore that came out of Australia this year. From an increasingly stagnant scene, these bands have given us hope that the next generation of Australian hardcore will not be dominated by fashion kids and drama queens. Please, join me as BUST! Online Zine presents the Class of 2005.

Releases - Planned or Available: Demonstration CD is out now you can get it off us for 2 bucks and we are going to do an EP as soon as we can be fucked
Musically speaking, if two bands mated to form a child that was King Brown, they would be: hard one.....a very drunk Robert Goulay and Carcass of Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes
The best thing about Australian hardcore is: MINDSNARE. That was a stupid question. Other good things are BBQ's, Meathead, people lending gear, the stage at Stonecutters, Big Mick and house partys at T Bone's or Matty B's. Special mention to my new flip phone.
