I figure with Bandcamp being pretty popular with Hobart bands/musicians, it'd be nice to collect a bunch of this newly released digitalia and present it in a blog post every now and again. There is already a whole slew of Hobart releases on Bandcamp - it's pretty easy to track with their tagging system (just explore Hobart -> new releases) - so here is 10 local releases you can download for free. Click on the band name to get to their page and find more releases/information:

Moe Grizzly - Eye Sore / myblackson - Jam
Moe Grizzly are so fucking good.
I mean, they're better live, but whatever, isn't that always the case? Here's a great track found on last year's Clones And Clones: Hobart + Melbourne compilation. It's called 'Eye Sore'. It was probably meant for some completed-but-never-released album that's still sitting around in some Hobart house.
Edit: "Eyesore was recorded exclusively for the C&C comp - no other material exists from this session. The other, older, lying-around-a-house session is being worked on constantly and will see a release well before the end of 2011." More details in comment section below.
If you haven't heard Moe Grizzly before, think a fuzzier, less intelligible Drones. But really, just listen to the song already:
Moe Grizzly - Eye Sore by Noise, Etc.
Being myblackson's 'final' show - which was one of their best ever, let the record be known - it feels fitting to feature something from them here. You can already listen to most of their back catalogue on Bandcamp (and download the majority of that for free), but here's a song from the limited single they released at their final gig on 22 July 2011. It's titled 'Jam', which is the same name as one of their old songs, but whatever. Punk.
They'll be back, just you watch 'em. And they'll play Pop Song, too.
In the meantime, while we all pretend they're dead forever - R.I.P. myblackson. You were good to us. Really, really good. To my favourite Tasmanian punk band: thank you.
