LA based producer Dom Liberati has been making music as BEL HAVEN for a minute now and in his new single “Could Be Love”, we’re met with a catchy hook-laden pop tune that’s worth a little share ahead of the weekend.

Alternative grunge rockers, The Fossicks, are bringing some shaking new music through to Frankie’s Pizza for a hometown launch show in Sydney next month! Launching their new EP, E.G.O, throughout May, the group will be touring further throughout May and June but best believe, this first show is going to be one hell of a tour opener….

When Tigerilla and Porsches linked up to form the duo Super Cruel, of course people knew they’d be in for a good thing.

Directed by…

Stretching that live music muscle after 13 years out of the spotlight, Aussie metal legends Superheist are back with a special AAA Side release and a stack of new tour dates to boot.

A criminally underrated duo, Ginger and The Ghost continue to strive forward in producing captivating music and visuals that have had us hooked time after time. Their single “Glow” is one that’s recaptured our attention and if you’ve not had the time to chuck the way of the song’s official music video – you’ve come to…

Returning to Australia (and hitting up NZ) this July with their stellar third album, Near to the Wild Heart of Life, are some of our favourite Canadians – Japandroids. Following incredibly well-received appearances on the east coast as well as at the Meredith and Fairgrounds festivals late last year, Brian and David are returning in a headline capacity for their…

Obviously, their return to Australia in 2016 for Splendour in the Grass brought At The Drive-In much acclaim and their two sideshows left crowds hungry for more out on the east coast.

Let’s be real, I don’t think everybody’s completely recovered from the release of Kendrick Lamar‘s DAMN. yet. I know we’re not.

Some Belgian electro-jazz for your Tuesday, with the latest from STUFF. in “Galapagos”.

The single is taken from STUFF.’s forthcoming album old dreams new planets…

New Orleans group Flow Tribe recently linked up with Mannie Fresh to deliver the fun, “You Know What It’s About”, taken from their new album BOSS (due out April 28th).

Adelaide’s architecture has long been a selling point of the city. Of course, with South Australia being the only Australian capital to be established as a free colony (ie. No convicts), there’s a certain type of gravitas that the historical buildings throughout the CBD maintain. It may be a small city, but the way in…

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has brought together a wide array of comedians and performers for another year, bringing a stack of world class shows through to the city until April 23rd.

In The Veils‘ new album Total Depravity, we received the first lot of new material from the UK based group since 2013’s Time Stays, We Go.

The Northern Territory is home to a large hive of creative talent, much of which still remains untapped. Still considered to be an isolated hub for Australian musicians and artists to thrive, the NT has an advantage of geographical difficulty, its true: through these obstacles, ambition is concentrated and the drive to create powerful works…

“Darling” is here to sprinkle your week with some bright 80’s influenced synth pop and we’re loving it. The latest from FROYO, “Darling” throws back to that wave of artists who began making waves through in Australia around 2010 – 2011; think of The Naked and Famous, Passion Pit and Delphic…those massive sounds injected with vibrancy and…

Mid Ayr‘s driving single “Pocket Her Eyes” now has a film clip, thanks to the Brisbane duo’s link up with Thomas Calder (The Trouble With Templeton and now, of Tinker Films). Frenetic and gritty – much like the song itself – the music video tracks night time madness and the chaos that results as darkness is further…
