Meet Bev, or Chiko, who, in his own words, is “not the best truckie, just the best looking.” He’s every stereotype of Australian masculinity you could conjure up, from his impressive mullet to his truck-themed stubbies (translation: shorts).

Pro controllers feel like a dime a dozen these days, with each platform now having its own first-party option, like the DualSense Edge for the PlayStation 5 or the Elite Controller for the Xbox Series X/S.

But after getting hands-on with Rhythm Paradise Groove, arriving on the Nintendo Switch this July, it’s clear that the magic is in…
Religion and horror have long shared a common language. Both deal in fear, temptation, guilt, and the consequences of transgression. Adrian Chiarella‘s Leviticus understands that connection intimately, using supernatural terror not simply to frighten its audience but to examine the emotional violence inflicted upon queer people by institutions that claim to offer salvation. Set within…
Horror has long been a genre built around fear, but in Adrian Chiarella‘s debut feature Leviticus, terror is rooted in something far more intimate: desire itself.

For the last few years, FLO have been spoken about as a group on the verge. A trio destined for greatness. The future of R&B. The next big thing. At some point, though, we need to stop talking about FLO as a promise and start recognising them as a reality. As they prepare to release…
