Zeus - Opera (2013)

A couple of Italian guys playing fuzzy bass and drums. Fans of Japanese band Ruins will really dig this progressive onslaught. Its also released under ThreeOneG records who put out a very similar band call Secret Fun Club from San Diego. Over all this is a fucking awesome album but its hard to really get the feel of what this band is about without seeing them live. Max volume is the key when it comes to these kind of duos. Ripper!

Secret Fun Club - Skull With Antlers (2012)

I had the privilege witnessing these guys last year in the states, then after staying in contact with them I got to play a house party in San Diego California together. A while ago they released their first LP judging by the cover its called "Skull with antlers" through locust front man's record label ThreeOneG. This southern Californian Duo really give something i haven't seen before. Their live show is a full body experience made up of volume and bottom end frequency onslaught, which is pretty hard to produce on a recording, but Secret fun Club give you math rock as if it was being played by John Bonham in outa space. A stella band who have made their music even that little bit more accessible through naming your own price on their Bandcamp site.

Fat32 - Fat32 (2011)

It has Arrived! i heard about Fat32 through them touring with Secret chiefs 3 and am totally blown away by this record. released on Trey Spruence's label Web Of Mimicry, Fat32's self titled debut with artwork by Seldon Hunt is a all killer mash up of freaked out strangled 8bit keyboard sounds and drums. Heaps of awesome samples and fucked up time signatures at break neck speeds. I am a true fan of these guys and really hope to see it for real live some day. get it down your gullet!

Pivixki – Gravissima (2010)

This incredible Melbourne Duo consisting of Anthony Pateras on Piano, Electronics and Max Kohane from Agents Of Abhorrence on drums. Gravissima is a ground breaking album with the coming together of piano and grind drumming. Its extremely experimental but not to disjointed that art wankers are the only ones who will enjoy it. Play it loud for maximum enjoyment and you will understand why Pivixki stands with some of the best in art grind.

Hella - Tripper (2011)

Four years since their last release Californian math rock band Hella are back as the original two piece they once were.  The Two piece onslaught has really been taking off lately with bands such as Lightning bolt,  Fat32, Secret Fun Club, and warsawwasraw but not too many do it quite like Hella. Tripper goes from strength to strength as a recording where after a few listings you'll be hearing whole new sections you didn't pick up on before because this is brain music. On one last note, As a drummer myself it boggles my mind to even pretend i know how Zack Hill actually does his single pedal technique. EAT THIS SHIT UP!
