We are heading back to the USA, where Los Angeles roadhouse singer David Serby takes us into the smoky corners of Old Calexico on “Border Town Romance”, premiering today on the AU review.

Portland psych-surf outfit Trabants sound like they’ve stepped out of a lost grindhouse reel on “Fuzz 4 Daze”, a gloriously overdriven instrumental that crashes together garage rock swagger, surf cool and biker-movie menace. Premiering today on the AU, the track lands officially on May 28 ahead of the band’s forthcoming album Mirage, due June 12….
The latest update to our Discovery Playlist is here; with ten new tracks added across Apple Music and Spotify, including one exclusive premiere from earlier in the week.

Ahead of the release of her debut record Turn On The Lights tomorrow, we’re proud to premiere the striking video for its title…
We’re seeing in May with yet another ten tracks added to our Discovery Playlist on Apple Music and Spotify, including two we exclusively premiered in earlier in the week.

There is a very specific kind of horror reserved for the moment your ex’s mum accidentally likes a two-year-old photo of you on Instagram. Maybe it’s not a big deal – but there’s a fair chance it will hit hard — unless, like Rosalie Chilvers, you decide to weaponise it instead. Today, the AU review…
If, like me, you’re a long-term Muse fan, there’s usually mixed emotions when they drop a new track, primarily because so many of us yearn for the meaty, powerful songs that they’ve delivered in the past, like ‘Dead Star’, ‘Hyper Music’, and ‘Stockholm Syndrome’. Given that, it was with some trepidation that I first opened…
Fresh off a sold-out run that lit up Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, and riding the momentum of his acclaimed debut record SOULSTAR, BOY SODA isn’t slowing down. The ARIA-winning artist has announced SOULSTAR Deluxe, landing June 19, with five brand new tracks set to expand the world he’s been building. First taste? The hypnotic new…
Kehlani marks her birthday with the release of her fifth studio album, KEHLANI, a project that feels deliberately stripped back to the essence of who she is as an artist. Self-titled albums often carry that weight of identity, and here it comes through in the emotional clarity of the songwriting – intimate, reflective, and unafraid…
We’ve added ten new tracks to our Discovery Playlist this week, including two premieres from earlier in the week, with our Track of the Week going to Ruel and his striking new single “Hate Myself”.

Terrifyingly ancient as I am, as well as being an almost-lifelong Duranie, there’s not much on this planet that gets my instant attention more than a John Taylor bass line. He was my first-ever Bass God, and the reason I picked up my first bass guitar when I was a teenager. Happily, the opening moment…
There’s a rush of clarity that can come from stepping out of the wreckage of a fractured relationship, and Naarm/Melbourne outfit Max Aurora & The Southern Lights channel that feeling with real force on their new single “How I Know It’s Right”. We are delighted to be premiering this indie-punk anthem ahead of its release…

We’re always excited to introduce a new chapter from an artist on the rise, and today on the AU review we’re thrilled to exclusively premiere Sydney-based singer-songwriter Lucy Burke’s latest latest single and accompanying video, “One Way Track”.
