As a music photographer now for 10 years, there are many photographers who I admire and look up to. None more so than the incredible Ester Segarra. Her work is bathed in darkness and tinged with a level of brilliance that I have yet to see matched or surpassed in the world of Extreme Music. […]

Ok I am going to be brutally honest here. I really didn’t know too much about Aus Music T-Shirt Day. Which is a crying fucking shame because there’s more to it than just wearing a band t-shirt to work. Maybe my complacency arose because I pretty much wear a t-shirt (band or otherwise) every single […]

I will be brutally honest from the get-go… when it comes to retail and starting one’s own business, I do not have a fucking clue. My venture into Rue Morgue Records is a road and path that will be fraught with danger and a steep learning curve. I cannot compete with the big boys. Not […]
