It’s nearly that time of the year. The time of the year where one of Australia’s finest festivals throws their annual music shindig across three locations, bringing with them a swag full of the worlds greatest artists. Byron Bay will be our pad for debauchery and to wet all our musical pallets, we thought we’d throw our two […]
Okay, so by now we should have all soaked up the announcement for Future Music Festival 2015 and who you’re dead keen on seeing. Always a stellar day out (depending on which way you look at the torrential rain in years gone by) and for many an opportunity to see acts that don’t typically tour down under. The […]
Hamish is the Ham half of the grungy Perth duo, Hamjam. The fellows have just released a debut EP, and a killer video to boot. We got on the phone and talked all about it, Fiddy and dudes hugging. Sam: How’s your day been? Hamish: Pretty non-eventful. Just had my second coffee to try and […]
The other day, I got on the phone to Elliot Hammond from The Delta Riggs. He’d gotten a haircut earlier and it was his Birthday. It had become clear in the ‘how-do-you-do’s’ that I had curly hair, so his shaggy mop decided to reverse the interview. It went something like this: Elliot: Remember that show […]
It’s been many moons since we discovered Clap Your Hands Say Yeah off a mix tape driving through the north part of Australia back in 2005. The track that got us hooked was “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth”, followed by their first single “Is This Love?” and from their the floods gates opened […]
Two discs of genre hopping, era jumping, busy-ass pop. Foxygen have done it again. We begin …And Star Power by travelling through a void of guitar noise, feedback and, if the next few tunes are anything to go by, time. ‘How Can You Really’ starts off the musical section – and starts it off in […]
Words by Jack Bartlett Brisbane’s Danny Harley aka The Kite String Tangle has been in the media spotlight since last year, with breakout single Given the Chance placing in the top 20 of the 2013 Hottest 100. In turn, his debut EP Vessel quickly became one of the most anticipated releases of the year, and it […]
Bathurst-based electro-hip-hop duo LOLO BX may only be at the start of their career, but they’ve already been making waves online, on the radio and on the stage. Their first release Spring EP included the single Alpha, which topped the Triple J Unearthed Electronic charts and received national airplay. Now, their much anticipated two-track EP […]
No one understands you like Tom Iansek. Big Scary’s frontman has once again tapped into a part of you that you either didn’t know was there, or had forgotten existed, through his latest release as solo artist #1 Dads. It’s the part of you that wistfully stares out train windows without needing to check your […]
SOHN out of the UK is definitely an artist to keep on your radar throughout 2014. Tracks such as this are reasons why, with it’s great simplicity yet so much heartfelt soul entrenched. It’s all wrapped up nicely in a quick 3 mins 18 secs and you’ll be more than likely pressing play again and again. […]
