New Music

We last saw Hockey Dad killing it at SXSW this year and by all accounts, the duo had been making similar positive impressions on audiences through the UK and Europe in recent months. The Leisure Coast twosome have continued the momentum build for their much anticipated debut album Boronia, with the release of new single “Jump The Gun”…

Brisbane’s FEUDS have brought us their music video for their single “River of Wine” this week, a song we haven’t been able to stop listening to. The band’s debut EP Stay Lost is due out this August and as a taste of what the wider record is going to sound like, “River of Wine” is a great little…

One of Melbourne’s electro-soul bright new faces, Alice Ivy, has dropped a new single in “Almost Here” and it’s got us completely wrapped up. Incorporating some slick hip hop and horns into the mix on this one, featuring RaRa and Georgia Van Etten, the producer has created one hell of a tune. It’s been a hectic year or so…

Allan Smithy has been winning hearts (ours included) since Matt Amery (of Tin Sparrow) began making music and moves on live stages under the moniker last year. This week, we’ve been gifted with his new music video for “Four Letter Reason” – another great little gem of nostalgic Australiana. Taken from his forthcoming EP I See A Palm Tree,…

Robbie Miller continues to impress, emerging out of the studio with an excellent new single in “Road”. Since the release of his 2015 EP The Faster The Blood Slows, Miller’s songwriting skill has shone strongly and he’s continued to become a brilliant gem of talent coming out of the east coast. “Road” incorporates some cool synth work in…

Helmed by the talented Leticia Dare and Andrew O’Toole, the music video for the hot George Maple x What So Not collaboration, “Buried”, is brilliant. The tune, which also features Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune, has been made even more of a stand out release with this beautifully shot music video; an underwater scene depicting both peace and struggle. Dark, brooding and gorgeous –…

Adelaide songstress MANE may be a relative newcomer to the scene but she’s wasting no time in making an impression fast. Her new single “Bitter” is the first taste we’ve gotten from her debut EP House of Horror – a catchy, rhythmic pop and blues fusion bound to catch attention. For MANE (aka Paige Renee Court), “Bitter” stems from a…

As Alicia Keys once proclaimed, ‘This girl is on fire‘. Today, Sydney’s Sarah Connor has come through with a track that definitely fits the description. Teaming up with Bigredcap and Losty on the track, Connor spits rhymes that beckons haters to step up because well, she’s not fazed by their vitriol. Having burst out on to the radars of many when she took…

As we continue our countdown towards the release of Liz Stringer‘s new album, All The Bridges, we bring you another special clip of the songstress performing one of her new tunes live. Filmed and recorded at Type Foundry live, Stringer here performs “Half Filled Cup”. Directed and edited by Michael McInerney, the clip captures the song’s vibe gorgeously as…

Melbourne’s Maefire emerged in 2015 with their debut EP, wasting no time in generating a solid reputation for themselves on the east coast as a band to watch. Of course, experience on stage prior to their outing as Maefire helped, with the group coming together out of the ashes of For Our Hero and Madison in 2014. With…

LANKS has been generating some impressive momentum for his music and skills as producer and multi-instrumentalist for a little while now, but crowds around the country recently have seen just what he can bring to the table, off the back of successful shows with NGAIIRE. Now, we’ve got a brand new single from LANKS in “Bitter Leaf” and once…

After dropping their first single since 2013, “Past Lives” a few weeks ago, Local Natives have announced the details of their highly anticipated third record Sunlit Youth, along with a new single and video. Known for their constantly evolving sound, Local Natives‘ new release “Villainy” embraces synths more than ever before, with layers of singer Taylor…

The latest cut from The Avalanches forthcoming record Wild Flower feels a lot less 90’s hip hop than their last single, and a lot more Since I Left You. The chilled psychedelic track is packed out with layers of vocals from Jonathan Donahue of Mercury Rev, almost acting as a polar opposite to their last single, the upbeat and…

One of Melbourne’s best bands doing their thing at the moment, no question, is Ceres. Since 2012, the quartet have become favourites with crowds and industry alike, coming up in the same waves of bands like Luca Brasi and The Smith Street Band, to great success. Their sophomore album, Drag It Down On You, is set to showcase even more…

Four years after the release of their second LP Beacon, Irish three piece Two Door Cinema Club have returned with a new single, “Are We Ready?”, lifted off their forthcoming release GAMESHOW. Stepping away from the energetic intensity of their debut record in favour for a bass led groove, “Are We Ready?” is the anthemic, wide-open sound…

Sydney’s Polish Club are easily one of my favourite bands to have popped their heads up and showed their worth in the past year or so and today, they’ve given us a new music video! Party. The clip is for the ridiculously catchy “My House” and if anything else, it’s another perfect excuse to lose yourself…

One of Triple J’s Unearthed High success stories, Japanese Wallpaper, made a huge impact with his string of singles over the past few years, leading up to his debut EP, which featured the likes of Airling and Wafia on vocal duties. For his new single “Cocoon” however, the producer and songwriter also takes on the role of singer….

Vera Blue is a lady who is continuing to impress and in the new music video for her tune “Fingertips”, we’re even more sold on this woman’s talent. She’s already shown herself to be a great songwriter and “Fingertips” is one of those songs that has the potential to be the song that fans further down the…

Melbourne’s Tough Uncle have impressed once again, this time with the release of new single, “New Boy”! There’s a richness to way the vocals are layered in over that whopping lead guitar and bassline, making the opening of the song instantly catchy. This tune is another great step forward for Tough Uncle, who have been busy building…

Darwin based hip hop artist Requiem has teamed up with the stunning Kathryn Rollins out of Melbourne for the hypnotic and catchy “Treading Water” – today delivering the official music video to accompany. A reflection on anxiety and control, the song is built on some simmering and broody beats, while Rollins’ vocals float throughout almost like smoke. A…

The now Melbourne-based Flower Drums have continued to conjure up excitement surrounding the forthcoming new record with the release of their new single, “Idle Time”. The duo have a penchant for creating music that is perfect for hazy nights, ideal to get lost in and this latest cut is another perfect example of the amount of…

Bear’s Den have recently released an expertly shot and delivered music video for their single “Auld Wives”, a particularly stand out piece of music from the UK duo. The single, to be featured on their sophomore album Red Earth & Pouring Rain (due out in Australia on July 22nd), saw the band link up with acclaimed director Sam…

Hello, SAATSUMA. Let’s cut to the quick – where have you guys been all my life? In new single “Floating”, the Melbourne group have given us an electronic track full of texture and richness. The vocals ooze soul, while the production adds to the haunting and and oddly hypnotic nature of the track’s arrangement. It’s darkly enticing,…

The Creases, man. With today’s announcement that they’ll be on the road with Ball Park Music later on this year, not to mention their own single launch tour this July, we’re keen to simply know there’ll be ample opportunities to get our dose of Brisbane goodness. Most recently, The Creases have released the official music video for…

The second single to be lifted from an EP I know I’m incredibly stoked to hear, “Walls to Build” is the latest from Melbourne duo Kllo. The synths and keys progression on the song make “Walls to Build” seem almost fragile – there’s a warmth in Chloe Kaul‘s voice that wraps the listener up, but the pace…

Camp Cope are goddamn legends. Pretty much all you need to know, if you weren’t completely 100% sold by their debut album. Having become beloved members of the Australian touring scene in recent months, the trio have continued to show themselves off as being a force to be reckoned with. Their new music video for single “Done” is…

This is a tune that comes jam-packed with brooding swagger that has had us hooked. Hedge Fund have stepped up once more with new single “What You’re Hiding” in fusing some cool post-punk waves in Mislav Belobrajdic‘s guitar and William Colvin‘s strangely hypnotic vocals and songwriting, with a tight musical execution reminiscent of some darker new-wave bands coming into…

Our 113th edition of ‘Stumbled Upon’ sees us introduced to the very new, but very intriguing FRAANCIS. Recently dropping their debut single “XX” online to much the favourable response, the Melbourne duo draws influence from the likes of Jordan Rakei to J Dilla, all the while whipping up a sound that reminds us of early Flume…

The Lulu Raes blend great melody with solid pop-rock rhythm on new single “Never Leave” – a great indicator of what’s to come from the band’s forthcoming EP, All Our Parents Are Divorced. The Sydney group have been making some great moves recently and this tune, highlighted by some excellent guitar work and of course, Eddie‘s unmistakeable…

Glass Animals have continued to unfurl the craziness surrounding their sophomore album How To Be a Human Being in the release of the music video for “Life Itself”. It’s an exciting time to be an Australian Glass Animals fan, with the four-piece of course, heading out our way next month ahead of the album’s August release. Says…
