Sydney trio Rackett bring us the visuals for their current single, “Ready or Not!” – a brilliant and fiery effort from the ladies who aren’t a band to be messed with as a live force. Having spent their first year gigging solidly and working on their debut EP, results such as “Ready or Not!” indicate that we’re only…
The Ocean Party are an enigmatic kind of group, with each member sharing vocals and writing. The Melbourne-via-Wagga six piece have just dropped hazy, dreamy, guitar-pop single ‘Quality Control’, recorded in just over an hour in a small NSW coastal town. The track is tongue in cheek, arising from a friend’s comment that the band…
Courtney Barnett described Chastity Belt as “the coolest people I have ever met.” If that doesn’t convince you to give their new single, ‘Caught in a Lie’, a listen, I don’t know what will. The new single from the four-piece is tangled, a combination of interwoven guitars and vocals that are definitely hued in grunge influence. It’s…
Fresh from a nine show SXSW run, Midwestern group Ha Ha Tonka have dropped a feel-good music video (a rumination on their SXSW success?), featuring a glorious performance and party on rafts in the middle of a picturesque Arkansas river.

The clip accompanying is humble, warm, and very Brisbane-ish, filmed…
Thanks to fellow Adelaide rock lords Horror My Friend, we were recently introduced to emerging trio, Siamese. Their sound struck us immediately – their throwbacks to 90’s alt legends and the distinct depth within their sound already (for a young band) was impressive and had us intrigued. Their single “Computer Patient” is one you may have heard…
Adelaide trio Grenadiers gave us the first taste of their upcoming third album last week with “Suburban Life”, a big, driving track with punchy guitars, shout-along refrain and persistent rhythm. As if the track wasn’t enough of a gift, the trio today dropped an accompanying video, which looks like it’s come straight off mid 90s RAGE. It’s…
Sydney’s Hello Bones follow up the success of their kicking tune “Darlene” and “Big Day Out”, with this latest three and a half minutes of heat – “Colours”. Full of groove, melody and powerful vibrancy, “Colours” doesn’t dial anything down. Instead, the trio surge forward with riotous abandon, diving into rock and roll with flair. Fast…
Holy crap, new Broken Social Scene. NEW BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE. In new single “Halfway Home”, we have been dealt the first piece of new music from the Canadian group since 2010.

Omär executes vulnerability and earnestness on…

Coming straight outta Enmore is Circle‘s new music video for “Thylacine”. Melodic and synthy, the latest offering from Circle is bound to remain in your head after playback.
