The Bad Apples team comes through again, this time with Birdz stepping up to the plate in releasing the visuals for his latest single, “This Side”. Linking up with Darwin singer Serina Pech, the rapper brings together clever rhymes with Pech’s undeniably smoky soul flavour in celebrating excellence over adversity. Filmed in and around Melbourne’s Northside, we see…

Finally, finally, finally, Kelela‘s debut album is on its way, with Take Me Apart due out this October. The vocalist took our breath away with the Hallucinogen EP and now, we’ve got some new music in “LMK” to get around as the hype for Take Me Apart starts to generate properly. Primed for the dance floor, “LMK” goes in hard with its…

Heard of Sleep Party People? You’re about to. The group, led by talented multi-instrumentalist Brian Batz are based out of Copenhagen and have been making some great art for a little while now, though for the music video for latest single “Fainting Spell”, the effort was truly massive. Calling on fans around the world to get involved…

Milwaukee Banks‘ new single “The City” comes dripping with that unique style the duo have become known for applying throughout each beat, each vocal take. Fusing electronic production with hip hop progressions have put Milwaukee Banks firmly on the map, while this new single delivers on an amped sense of ambition, sonic concepts and more….

Have you ever wondered why the punk kids seem to be able to band together whenever, and wherever they are needed most? It’s because the backbone of punk, and every other subset of the genre, is community.  Blue Mountains folk-punk outfit Antonia and the Lazy Susans have just premiered “Home Here With Your Friends,” a…

Fierce Mild are a group who may strike as slightly confusing at first – but in the best possible way. Their music invites the listener to immerse themselves, get caught up in the various sonic influences they’re playing with and hell, if you find yourself trying to break things down or decipher where they have…

Nick Mulvey has gotten our attention today with his new single, “Mountain To Move”. As we continue to endure the wait for his sophomore album release, Wake Up Now, Mulvey’s music that is being released so far is doing some pretty great work in getting us excited. Once again proving the songwriter’s talent and charm with lyrics,…

To say that Tia Gostelow is still under the ’emerging artist’ banner… it is a bit of an old hat for the young songwriter to don. Since taking out triple j’s Indigenous High competition last year, Gostelow has been harnessing for herself a powerful presence within the crop of Australian songwriters who have been coming out…

The Bronx have come crashing through with the reveal of their fifth studio album, aptly named V. Retaining everything punk and chaotic the band has become renowned and beloved for the world over, the new record sees the LA-based group entering a new chapter in the wake of Jorma Vik‘s 2016 departure. What we’ve heard first up from…

New Alvvays is always great. Heh. Bad pun made, moving right along… The new album from the group is coming this September 8th in the form of Antisocialites and today, we’ve really been enjoying their new single “Dreams Tonite”. The Toronto group shine on the track, which displays an awesome progression in rhythmic and songwriting technique, as…

New Zealand’s Raiza Biza takes to the mic in acknowledging the strong women in his life with the appropriately titled, “Strong Woman”. The single is charming in nature, strong and anthemic in delivery – a great step further into the spotlight from the hip hop talent continuing on the rise. The official music video we’re premiering…

With his 2015 debut album Eons, Jim Lawrie was quick to establish himself as a songwriter and performer who needed to be on more music fans’ radars around the country. Bringing together some lovely folk tendencies with classic rock sensibilities that has proven to resonate so well with live audiences in particular, Jim Lawrie’s music generated the…

Jen Cloher‘s new self-titled album is one we’re very much looking forward to; as one of the country’s underrated songwriters, Cloher’s new material we’ve been hearing has definitely gotten us excited for what’s featured in the next chapter of the Melbourne musician’s book of music. In new single “Regional Echo”, Jen continues to bring open…

Billie Eilish is going to be heading out to Australia for the first time this September (get your tickets ASAP) and if that wasn’t enough for great news from the British breakthrough artist, Eilish has given fans a new single in “idontwannabeyouanymore”. Taken from her highly anticipated debut EP dont smile at me, which is out on…

In 2017, it’s getting increasingly harder for bands to both shock and move their audience, especially through music videos. As fans we can sometimes get lazy, searching and wishing to be guided through a track or a thought, hand in hand as the true meaning behind an artistic idea gets handed to us. Brooklyn trio…

Evocative Montreal four piece, The Franklin Electric, have released a gorgeous visual accompaniment to their tune “Burning Flame”, premiering today on the AU. As far as Monday’s go, this tune is bound to pick you up or at least have you feeling some kind of way, with the Canadians linking up with the talented Ryley Burghall to…

Today we’re happy to be getting around the latest slice of music from Brisbane’s Born Joy Dead! “Sinkhole Holiday” is the first track to be taken from the indie rock band’s forthcoming EP Throw Us in the Fire; a garage-fuzz fusion hit of a tune that once more shows the spirited nature of the band’s musicality. In Ben…

“She Feels Live Home” is the latest single from Victorian five-piece The Settlement and in its delivery, marks a great period of creative progression for the group. Their album Stand in the Middle, is out today and to celebrate, we’re stoked to share the group’s new music video for the track. The band’s roots in folk is clear,…

He’s one of the country’s best loved travelling troubadours and soon enough, Kim Churchill will be back on the road doing what he does best. The performer will be touring his new album Weight_Falls around the country through September and October (the record is due out in August), but before then, we’ve sunk our teeth into the…

When it comes to Ginger and The Ghost, creating pieces of music and visual art that captivate and linger in the memory of those who listen and view it is kinda textbook. The future-pop duo have recently dropped their new single “Kindred Spirits” and true to form, the music video that has been released to accompany…

Cut Copy are set to play Melbourne’s Croxton Bandroom tonight before heading up to Byron Bay for Splendour – the return of one of the country’s most loved electronic acts. In their new single “Airborne”, Cut Copy have not only doled out their first new music in four years but in doing so, they’ve blown the…

Lee Ranaldo has given fans another taste of his new album Electric Trim, in the release of “New Thing” and it’s accompanying music video! The video comes directed by Naomi Yang (Julia Holter, Richard Youngs) and follows Ranaldo making his way through New York City – a sharp and unique look at the way society is consumed…

‘Grenadiers, mate.’ It’s a short but sweet sentence I found myself uttering through much of last year, whenever asked who would be counted as an exciting musical export out of Adelaide. The trio have been touring consistently while working on the follow up record to 2015’s acclaimed Summer album – you can even catch Grenadiers on…

OKENYO is an artist I’ve been championing for a long time now and over the last year or two especially, the Sydney based performer has been generating some new heat and momentum surrounding the new music she’s been creating. Things are kicking off for OKENYO once more with the brand new single, “Woman’s World”, landing a…

Another quirky and talented Joe Agius creation, the new music video from The Creases ticks all the boxes. The visuals for “In My Car” were released on to the band’s social media recently and frankly, it’s made us super keen for the release of their new album Tremolow (due August 4th). The band are set to support Two Door…

Cosmo’s Midnight have come on through with another solid new tune in their latest, “Mind Off”. Bringing in the talented Clementine Douglas of Kudu Blue, the UK vocalist fit like a glove in amongst the Aussie twins’ latest wild beat foray. What we like best about “Mind Off” is its warped, addictive quality – Cosmo’s Midnight…

If there’s one highly anticipate hip hop release of this year, it’d have to be Vic Mensa‘s debut studio effort, The Autobiography. It has been a long time in the making but finally, we’ve been teased with what’s to come, particularly with new single “Rage”. With a special launch/listening party heralding Mensa’s new sounds in New York…

As we head into the later part of 2017, it seems that every single day, someone is pushing new boundaries with music videos. They are getting flashier, bigger, brighter, better and if you can name it, someone somewhere is doing it. But sometimes, there’s true beauty in the simplicity of the song itself, and that’s…

AEORA isn’t content to just take steps forward. Girl be taking strides. “Boss-y” firmly planted the Melbourne artist in line with the likes of Evangeline, Woodes and SATSUMA – three of my favourite songwriters and vocalists coming through at the moment, but damn it, new single “Fenceline” is a belter. Still playing in the murky waters of…

Gordi is one of Australia’s best exports at the moment; I think this is a safe statement to make. Not only has her collaborative work and general hang-times with Bon Iver and the Eau Claire crew brought Gordi to a wider audience in the US over the last year, but her shows throughout the UK and Europe…
