Who would’ve thought the moody, indie-rock sounds of Warpaint could be transformed into something so dance-floor ready? Bask in the six-minute, bass-heavy groove of Soulwax’s remix of “New Song” and prepare to have your senses confused, but so delighted. Soulwax chucks in a faster tempo, driving keys and some disco lasers and synths, making for a psychedelic…
Following their debut album Speak Up released earlier this year, Geraldton-hailing punk-rockers Alex The Kid have dropped single “Untitled” as part of the band’s label Pee Record’s compilation Pee Approved 5.

Check this moment of sweet tenderness from Ty Segall today. In “Orange Colour Queen” we get a taste of Segall’s forthcoming self-titled album (due out in January) – it’s hazy, has an old school Beatles-esque harmonic vibe and is set to be perfect for lazy summer days.

If you’ve listened to Divas and Demons from front to back at least once since its release, “Lose Sleep” is definitely one of the standout tracks.

Like the song itself, this is a clip celebrating the female – the strength, the beauty and…
Spit Syndicate have been slept on for an embarrassing amount of time, if I’m honest. True, the Sydney duo have maintained a loyal fanbase who’ve been rocking with them since 2008’s Towards the Light, it’s not a far stretch to guess Lupi and Jimmy Nice garnered a larger chunk of attention through their work within the One Day crew in the…
