Albums of the Year So Far 2022

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever is an indie rock band hailing from Melbourne, Australia. The band was formed in 2013 by Fran Keaney, Tom Russo (guitar/vocals), and Joe Russo (bass guitar). Shortly after their formation, Joe White (guitar) and Marcel Tussie (drums) joined the group. With their unique sound and captivating performances, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has quickly gained recognition in the music industry.

Known for their infectious melodies and energetic live shows, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has become a force to be reckoned with in the indie rock scene. Their music combines elements of jangly guitars, catchy hooks, and introspective lyrics that resonate with listeners.

Since their inception, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever has released several critically acclaimed albums and EPs. Their debut album "Hope Downs" received widespread praise for its tight songwriting and heartfelt storytelling. The band's latest release "Sideways to New Italy" further solidifies their status as one of Australia's most exciting musical exports.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Albums of the Year 2022

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever return in 2022 with Endless Rooms, the Melbourne quintet's third album proper. Described by the band – comprised of Fran Keaney, Joe White, Marcel Tussie and brothers Tom Russo and Joe Russo – as them “Doing what we do best: chasing down songs in a room together”, Endless Rooms stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit and live power of RBCF.

While initial ideas were traded online during long spells spent separated by lockdowns, the album was truly born during small windows of freedom in which the band would decamp to a mud-brick house in the bush around 2hrs north of Melbourne built by the extended Russo family in the 1970s.

There, its 12 tracks took shape, informed to such an extent by the acoustics and ambience of the rambling lakeside house that they decided to record the album there. The house also features on the album cover. For the first time, the band self-produced the record (alongside engineer, collaborator and old friend, Matt Duffy), creating their most naturalistic and expansive document yet. The result is a collection of songs permeated by the spirit of the place; punctuated by field recordings of rain, fire, birds, and wind.

“It's almost an anti-concept album,” say the band. “The ‘endless rooms’ of the title reflects our love of creating worlds in our songs. We treat each of them as a bare room to be built up with infinite possibilities.”
