It’s rare that you get an event like Stonecutters come through Adelaide with as much gusto as this event has done now, two years running. It’s grown up for 2016, moving to the larger digs of the old Queen’s Theatre and expanded over two nights instead of cramming bands into one. Boasting a line up of…

New Zealanders Clap Clap Riot have doled out a sweet lil number in their latest single, “Help Me”. Taken from their new album, the tune is driven by great rhythm guitars and general rhythm section while the harmonies and vocals are also slick to the ear. If this is the first you’re hearing of the band,…
Full disclosure: I have been a huge Kira Puru fangirl for some time now. Her recent work alongside Urthboy in particular has brought the vocalist to the attention of more people in 2016 and rightly so.

Day drinking and dancing. In Brisbane. This could only be a formula for success, no? The Strums have gone and explored it however, in their new music video for the 1:49 minute romp of a tune, “She Only Loves Me ‘Cause I Love The Ramones”.

BIGSOUND brought Sydney’s Allan Smithy to Brisbane with a new live show raring to go, beers to be drunk, games of ping pong and Jenga to be dominated. His music has been a highlight of our year to be listening to and it was great to keep an eye on how well Smithy would go on to be received…

GOD, I love the Forza Horizon series. It’s everything I want in a racing game — a balance of work hard/play hard — race now, then go where you like, in whatever car you want and just enjoy the act of doing that. It’s a total breath of fresh air, especially after the endless procession of staid, serious…
