‘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…

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…

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-quite from Melbourne band Gumboot are self described as “post surf idiosyncratic goth rock”. I don’t know if I entirely agree with this sentiment, but they are indeed something unique.
