Sharon Van Etten has dropped a chilling new single in “Not Myself”, available now for fans to purchase and also, donate to a worthy cause.

Loyle Carner has been generating some heat this year; having seen the reception the young British hip hop artist garnered at SXSW this year, it was clear that this guy out of South London had some serious potential he was only giving us hints of at that pint. With his debut EP A Little Late dropping…
Melbourne’s Alexander Biggs has once again charmed the hell of us with his latest single, “Tidal Wave”. The third single taken from his debut EP Until I Go To Hell, “Tidal Wave” is another stunning release from this emerging artist set up for wider acclaim, for sure. Biggs has a fragility to his voice that is arresting…
This is one hell of a day house party. You’ve got a dance party in the backyard, an extensive vinyl collection inside, people of all different backgrounds drinking, smoking, loving, fighting…you name it. As Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds describe, it’s a ‘cross section of brown and beautiful eccentric types from every walk…

The Gooch Palms have a penchant for making music that is damn near impossible not to have in your head for days after. Latest single “Don’t Look Me Up” is just one of those nuggets from Introverted Extroverts that ends up bouncing around long after the song itself has finished – we’re not mad about it either. Today, we’ve…
The Byzantines continued to explore the more chaotic fringes of indie rock/pop, gleaning themselves off the direct Brit-pop influences that drove much of their earlier material on new single “She Moves”.

Midas.Gold is here to make you work it out. The latest track from the Brisbane rapper is smooth and catchy as hell – the perfect new beat released to get fans keen for his upcoming September and October tour! Bass heavy, hook laden and slick to the ear, “Work It Out” has producer Jangus lay his…
Usually I’d have some kind of notes written down about a tune I’ve been forwarded to check out. Who’s produced what, where it was recorded, who the artist sounds like. When I was pointed in the direction of Air Max ’97‘s remix “Looking At Myself” by Sydney artist Gussy, there was none of this except for a…
I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to assume that when B Wise drops his debut EP Semi-Pro later in September, it stands to be one of the best hip hop releases of 2016’s second half. What we’ve heard from the MC so far has continued to impress but still, it feels like we’re just scratching the…
The Julie Ruin have come through with their new music video for “Mr. So and So”, -co-directed by Kathleen Hanna herself and Becca Albee. Taken from the group’s latest album Hit Reset, “Mr. So and So” focuses in on tokenisation and in an excellently delivered clip, shows Hanna, Sara Landeau and Kathi Wilcox in different stages of stuckness in New York while Carmine…
Fractures is definitely one BIGSOUND artist we know we can’t leave the event without seeing. The latest from the multi-instrumentalist in “Alchemy” definitely plays up to its title, the melting and purifying of elements in producing a precious and in this case, golden, end result. A perfect follow on to Fractures’ recent collaboration with Set Mo, “Alchemy”…
Now based in London, Sunshine Coast duo TEMPESST have been fast garnering positive momentum surrounding their last few singles, in particular “Too Slow” and “Tidal Wave”.

Lila Gold. Who is this artist capturing attention fast in local circles? Well, for those newcomers to her sound, she’s Sydney-based but New York raised and is one of the latest names to be embraced by the Mushroom family. “China Chalet” is her debut single and the music video that has come with it offers…
Fans of The Griswolds, have fun getting this one out of your head. It’s been a little while since we’ve heard new material from the Be Impressive purveyors but it would seem that time away in their now-second home of LA and surrounds has done them a world of good in continuing to craft a big and…
Adelaide’s Kaurna Cronin has recently been working his way through Europe performing music that has been falling well within the embrace of a fast-growing fanbase that has been rocking with him for some years now.

New York trio Sunflower Bean have been continuing to lap up the praise their debut album Human Ceremony has been attracting and rightly so, it’s a goddamn killer introduction to the psych-rockers who’ve gone from establishing themselves as one of Brooklyn’s sharpest tools in the shed, to being lauded on massive festival stages like most recently, Lollapalooza and…
Another slice of goodness from Brisbane this week, with Born Joy Dead bringing us their latest, “Sourdough”. If you weren’t a fan of the delicious bread before, this bit of pop gold is bound to make you wanna give it another shot and jump on the bandwagon. For real though, if you’ve had a hard week…
We can’t wait to see more from LANKS in coming months and with his latest single, “Bitter Leaf”, the writer is continuing to impress. Today, we’re digging the music video for his single, a clip that has seen LANK work with a great team in LA to bring this one together. With choreographer Leona Morimune, the multi-instrumentalist also…

Brissy group The Belligerents have come through once again with new single “Caroline”. Taken from their debut album Science Fiction (coming this November), The Belligerents continue to play with psych and some bloody great pop before taking a sharp turn toward some dance-party inciting sounds before winding out – “Caroline” is colourful, textured and definitely an exciting indicator…
