   About idle faction

Listen to some Idle Faction right now!

"Get up and do something before you die."

Idle Faction began six years ago in the form of five fresh-faced youngsters, bashing pots and coaxing maximum noise from their tiny practise amps!

The band draw their main influences from mid-to-late 90's hardcore and metal. Their trademark sonic signature includes driving repetitive drums, intricate bottom-heavy bass, extended chords and soaring melodic guitar, and powerfully intense chromatic vocal stylings.

Songs by Idle Faction often swell and ebb between interleaving layers of melody and repetitive, aggressive machine-gun riffage. A trademark attribute is their linear progression from one riff to the next, rather than the traditional Verse/Chorus structure; it's not unusual to be taken on a journey of five or six parts to a song, with returning themes and cadences not unlike romantic-period classical music.

One thing is for sure - if you're listening to a pretty, complex melodic part of an Idle Faction song, very soon the band will be playing something intensely hardcore, and you'll be wondering where the transition was. ;-)

Lyrical subject matter typically involves current issues, something that you as the listener can connect with. With the amount of disturbing things wrong with our world today, it's hardly surprising that the band has written songs about such subjects as the war on Iraq, the non-bliss of non-ignorance, pop music, and the paradoxical behaviour of multi-national corporations...

  • If you change yourself, you've changed the world.

TORTUGA BAR - STORM EP (VIERSIEBEN RECORDS/FINETUNES) OUT NOW!



This online EP release (5 Tracks & Artwork) is not just an appetizer for the album which follows on June 26 - among the album versions of "Storm" (feat. Evan Dando) and "Feel the Love" it contains a remix of "Storm", made by labelmates Monocular, the track "Cavallo Pazzo (Song For Mondo Fumatore To Sing)" feat. Werner Kureinski, former member of Aheads and "Do It Right", a nice version of the Daniel Johnston song performed by Tortuga Bar and Navel.

MONOCULAR - "Water Shape EP" - Release!

We are very proud to announce, that Monocular s "Water Shape EP" is available at your favorite Online-Store now.


Containing the single "Water Shape" from the forthcoming album "Somewhere On The Line" (April 03, 2009 VierSieben Records/Alive) and three non-album tracks ("Consequence", "To Admire The Life", "Ravenclaw"), it is definitely a must have for all fans of filigree and athmospheric electrosounds.


Where bands like Lamb or Frou Frou left a gap in the late 90s and early 21st century, Monocular redefined the sound and set new standards in developing their complex music by connecting charismatic vocals with entrancing soundscapes.

Hey, just wanted to give you guys a quick shout... Thank you for your awesome performance at MUNTSTOCK! We appreciate you guys playing and you helped make MUNTSTOCK a huge success! Also, we couldn't have done it without MusicWorks gear and the Adelaide.
Thanks again! Can't wait till MUNTSTOCK '08!

Didn't get a chance to mention it amongst the rush last night, but we love you guys! It was an honour to twiddle knobs for you.
Nice shredding there Darren, hopefully I'll get a chance to check out your guitars and pedals sometime.

You guys were awesome on Sat night!

I'm glad I stuck around for your set (despite being old and feeling shattered from a morning of tramping out of the Abel Tasman National park with a big f#ck off pack strapped to my back).

I've had a listen to the EP as well and me likes!

Keep up the good work fullas!
