Clowns are back, everyone! Coming through with the catchy new tune in “Pickle”, the Melbourne punks have given us another preview of their third album, Lucid Again. Due out this May via Poison City Records, the record – if “Pickle” is anything to go by – is gonna be a ballbuster. Traversing the genres of punk,…
Some our favourite Victorian lads, APES, have dropped the visuals for their single “Filter” – all about that #OnlineContent. The footage, shot entirely on an iPhone over the course of a band practice, the resulting video clip is very tongue in cheek while the song itself worms its way into your head. As Ben Dowd sings, “I don’t…
Saskwatch have returned triumphantly with their new single, “December Nights”! We’ve been waiting for this one to come through a little while now and in terms of their new direction, it hasn’t sounded clearer. Jam-packed with swag and their unique style – “December Nights” is a positive nod forward for the Melbourne band and the…
Melbourne’s SAATSUMA have dropped their new music video for “Isolate” and again, we’re hooked. Exploring themes of destruction and particularly, the destructive nature of complacency, the clip has been shot by Tom Chapman – a brilliant realisation of the original concept by Memphis Kelly, Maddy Kelly and Bryce Padovan. Ahead of SAATSUMA’s tour dates this month, “Isolate” is the perfect…
Melbourne artist Nussy has come back kicking with her new music video for her tune, “Hard As Diamonds”. Taking cues from the trippy and haunting Stranger Things, the piece is glitchy, distorted and edgy; as we’ve heard from Nussy before, she has the capability of harnessing her own energy within the indie electronic sphere. “Hard As Diamonds” pushes…
Armed with their new single “Get Around”, Sydney’s Brother Brad are primed for an exciting few months ahead. Recorded out of their home studio in Newtown, the band has continued to refine their reggae/soul brand of music into this tune that is catchy as hell. Vocal harmonies and the melody work on this tune will ensure that…
Amarina Waters is a Melbourne-based songwriter, whose earnest voice delivers soulful indie folk.

The Keston Cobblers Club have followed up on the gorgeous melodies and earnest lyricism that thrust their 2015 album Wildfire onto the radars with many, with a brand new record in Almost Home. The record isn’t out until the end of the month but in the album’s title track, we have been treated to some simple songwriting tailored with…
Bendigo trio Fountaineer recently dropped a new single on us in “Words With Friends” – a return to form from the band who had taken time out of the spotlight momentarily following on from a fruitful bout of touring off the back of 2016’s Still Life. “Words With Friends” echoes the almost drowsy indie rock stylings of…
Continuing to warp some clean cut pop edge with well-crafted psych elements, Melbourne artist Blyolk returns with a new single in “Artshole”. When we were first introduced to Blyolk in 2016 through the gritty “Don Wowry”, there were indicators that this was just the beginning for the interesting producer and vocalist. “Artshole” expands on those initial…
British group The Big Moon are transported to the Wild West in the new music video for their catchy single “Sucker”, released this week. Taken from their forthcoming debut album Love in the 4th Dimension, “Sucker” is an ear worm of a track; the chorus filters into your head while the melody is inescapable. So too memorable…
Philly group Pissed Jeans have been careening through their 13 year long career with ferocity and gnarly goodness, the essence of which has been captured brilliantly on new material for album #5, Why Love Now. The lead single taken from the album, “The Bar Is Low”, now has a funny music video released to accompany, seeing the…
Another Adelaide band to have come out of the City of Churches with a crunchy, alternative rock sound akin to the likes of HUM, Failure and Unwound, and even Silversun Pickups (to name a few), Siamese has twigged our fancy. Their debut single release, “Computer Patient”, has brought Siamese to the radars of many in Adelaide…
Another cut of South Australian goodness today, with the new music video from Bad//Dreems for “Feeling Remains”. Throwing back to the glory days of Recovery (what’s up, Dylan Lewis), Baddies dive right back into the 90’s and the final result is pretty darn great. The tune itself is taken from the band’s newly announced sophomore album Gutful – out on April…

Batpiss (still one of my favourite band names), have returned with another smashing tune in “Weatherboard Man” – bringing the confrontation, bringing the Aussie guts-rock, and bringing the unabashed power. Taken from the band’s third album, “Weatherboard Man” is captivating and goes in hard. Mixed and produced by Gareth Liddiard, the tune is gritty and a vital installation within…
The newest addition to the Pieater family is Slow Dancer out of Melbourne. Joining the ranks alongside Christopher Port, Airling and Big Scary, this multi-instrumentalist has been quickly gaining a reputation for well crafted music and lyrics that hit to the heart. This week, he’s released the music video for his single “Don’t Believe” – directed…
Normally I’d be adverse to waiting 17 years between albums, but I’m willing to overlook it for At The Drive In. The genre-defying, prog-rock meets post-hardcore group last year announced that their second album, in • ter a • li • a, would be arriving in 2017. ‘Incurably Innocent’ is the second track they’ve released from…
Pumarosa‘s star continues to rise with the release of their latest single, “Dragonfly”. Taken from the band’s debut album The Witch (out in May), the single flies effortlessly, with Isabel Muñoz-Newsome‘s vocals simply haunt. As the band explains, “Dragonfly” represents a sense of learning to become vulnerable. “We are so used to protecting ourselves from each other that…
Sydney’s Mossy has returned with a new music video, this time for “Dumb Terror”. As we continue to watch our current social and political climates battle to find their way to some kind of sanity and balance, Mossy’s latest single was written as a response to all the chaos. As he explains, “For me, “Dumb Terror” is about…
Fresh-faced Melbourne artist Belle Noble has launched the video for her debut single ‘Instinct’, an anthem proclaiming empowerment, individualism and self-awareness. The RnB singer’s arresting debut is powerful, with her unique vocals soaring across commanding piano melodies. The accompanying visuals are something else entirely; each dancer in the clip had never heard the track or been given…
Since forming in 2014, Brisbane trio Morning Harvey have been building a diverse fan-base, through their charismatic live shows and even more charismatic music. Their latest single, “Holy Gun”, is no exception, the smooth track driven with just the right amount of bravado, guitar, and synth. Taken from their forthcoming debut album, due out mid-2017, this…
The Polish Club have announced their largest tour to date, the release of their debut album Alright Already, and have dropped a video for “Come Party”.

Gussy has come on through again with another arresting song and music video to match with the stunning “Mornings”.

Regardless of how your Valentine’s Day/International Hallmark Day celebrations (or lack thereof) went down, The Pink Tiles gave us all a present with their super sweet music video for “Time For Love”. Featuring a bright, 60s influenced, eye-popping colour palette, stop motion, scrabble tiles, and candies, this video takes the time to show a little love….
It’s nearly here. The second album, PAINT, from the divine Holy Holy, set for release on February 24th. Luckily, the duo Oscar Dawson and Tim Carroll realised we couldn’t hold out another week, and they’re giving us their third single – another nibble of the communion wafer before the big release. The single is layered, textured, rich with synth and guitar. Carroll‘s ethereal vocals repeat the…
Continuing to produce some effortlessly upbeat indie pop music straight out of the Top End, Darwin’s At The Dakota return with a brand new music video, this time for “Arrow Holder” – lined up for official release on February 24th. The tune itself is ridiculously catchy; the band has refined their pop sensibilities further off the…
Hands up whose hearts did a little backflip when Holly Throsby announced a new album was in the works? Hands firmly up, we’re stoked to have seen one of our favourite Sydney musicians return with new music (not like she hasn’t been busy writing novels and being a general boss, or anything…) and in her new music…
Newcastle’s indie punk trio RAAVE TAPES deliver more of their unbridled energy in new single “2 U xoxo”, two minutes and 45 seconds of danceable punk. The unmistakeable influences of Crystal Castles and Death From Above 1979 are heard, as the boys deliver their ode to modern dating, criticising how good-looking people don’t have to be able to dance. Front man…
Adelaide singer/songwriter Loren Kate brings us her new music video for the rich and gorgeous single, “Silver and Gold”.
