Notes.<\/strong>
\nEverywhere you turn is psychedelia. A spree of colour, long hair, trippy sounds, flashing fractals, hand-crafted peace, love and film grain. Go to the festival dressed like a native American, stare into the strobe light. Burn brightly on 60s nostalgia none of us remember. Live half the dream. Why? I want full spectrum nightmares. I want the rest: the knife on the floor of Tate manor, teen junkies, Altamont raceway, Queen booed offstage at Sunbury, death, disorder, confusion, chaos. There has to be some sort of balance, some sort of consequence. History repeats when left uninterrupted. We learn nothing.
\n\u2018Harsh Out\u2019 is an autopsy report.
\n\u201cEven if you\u2019re not much for an iconoclast, there\u2019s brutal, perverse glory in these wounds; scars worn like stripes. Each blast of noise erupts like volcanic ash, spitting poison and conflagration. Light a man on fire and he\u2019ll be warm for the rest of his life.\u201d<\/em>
\nThe Vine<\/a>
\n\u201cThis is the kind of noise that makes me feel beautiful, a truly haunted mix of experimental guitar noise that showcases what real experimental music should sound like \u2013 the rest of you need to take note and start doing a better job.\u201d<\/em>
\nHeavy & Weird<\/a>
\n\u201cAtonal obliteration of the most delicious kind \u2026\u00a0All done without preamble, without compromise, without apology.\u201d<\/em>
\nSonic Masala<\/a>
\n\u201cAn utter gem of an album \u2026\u00a0\u00a0uneasy listening at times, atmospheric and almost elating at others, but ultimately \u2018Harsh Out\u2019s\u2019 sonic intensity will probably win over any one who\u2019s a fan of very loud noises entering their ear canals\u201d<\/em>
\nFucked By Noise<\/a>
\n\u201cIan Rogers of No Anchor and Benjamin Thompson of The Rational Academy turn up the amps and blend together harsh distorted guitar, yelled vocals, and the reverberating crunch that hovers around each track, engulfing, erupting but always in control \u2026 an intense journey from two of Brisbane\u2019s finest noise makers.\u201d<\/em>

Biography.<\/strong>
\nBlack Pines<\/strong>\u00a0is about dislocation. Two friends separated by real life, wondering out loud about how and why one whole side of rock history has evaporated. That missing side \u2013 the abject horror of psychedelic rock \u2013 is where this project lives. This isn\u2019t a revival or pastiche. No one is living this unending rock bullshit here. No one in this band is furthering that agenda. No jams. No art. This is criticism.
