I’ve been lucky enough to see the Foo Fighters a couple of times in Los Angeles over the years. First was in 2006 at The Pantages, in the shows that wound up on their CD/DVD release Skin and Bones. And then in 2018 at the second (and presumably final) year of their Cal Jam Festival. The…

Sydney’s four-piece, Green Mohair Suits create exquisite folk/country/bluegrass music, and is back today with a new track, “Hell Or High Water. The track is the first single to be released from their upcoming fifth album, Stan Wella, due to be released in late September. We are thrilled to be premiering it ahead of its release on…
Melbourne’s East End Theatre District glowed purple on Wednesday, August 7th, to celebrate the premiere of the smash-hit musical SIX. Since its debut in 2017, SIX has taken the musical theatre world by storm, and this run marks the show’s highly-anticipated second time in Australia (or the third run if you consider the COVID interruption!)….

With 12 unique parks spread across six resorts in North America, Europe, and Asia, each park offers its own special blend of entertainment and adventure. Let’s explore these magical destinations and what makes each one special. The Six Disney…
The true story behind Chicago is so fascinating that it still resonates a hundred years after the action. In 1924, Chicago was overrun by gangsters, with prohibition-era criminality infused with a smoky jazz background. On “murderess row” in Cook County, over a dozen women were waiting sentencing. One woman, Kitty Malm, dubbed by the newspapers…
There’s nothing quite like New York’s Lower East Side. Casually referred to as the L.E.S, this section of lower Manhattan is where you’ll find many of the city’s best beats, from Katz Deli and Russ & Daughters, to world-renowned cocktail bars like Superbueno and Double Chicken Please. Fanning off from the narrow strip of Sara…
Massive crowds, sweltering heat, and scarce cloud cover made the Hinterland music festival quite the endurance test. But thanks to one of the best festivals lineups of 2024 and proper hydration, the latest edition of the Iowa music festival was an incredible weekend. Hinterland began in 2015 and has evolved into multiple forms over the…
On Sunday 21st of July this year, the world stopped as former US President, Donald Trump, survived an assassination attempt. The last attempted American Presidential assassination attempt was March 30, 1981 when John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan. This significant world event sparked global interest about history repeating itself. In Queensland, Australia,…
Another ten tracks have been added to our Discovery playlist on Spotify and Apple Music, including one where we exclusively premiered the music video earlier in the week. And, “Cleo” the brand new single from West Australian indie singer-songwriter Tanaya Harper is our Track of the Week. “Cleo” is the latest single to be released…
I’m a sucker for anything Cyberpunk-infused or tech noir. Blending futuristic themes like technology with old-school plots and character arcs has always appealed to me, ever since watching Blade Runner for the very first time as a young teen. Nobody Wants to Die admittedly came out of nowhere, but it intrigued me immediately with its…
It’s always wonderful to see Australian artists getting the recognition they deserve overseas. But rarely do you expect to see Australian musicians featured in a museum in the USA. However, when The Punk Rock Museum opened in Las Vegas last April, three Australian punk bands saw themselves featured alongside the legends of the genre. Founded…
Would you believe that Vietjet, Vietnam’s newest low cost airline has just celebrated it’s 200 millionth passenger trip.

Port Adelaide’s Pirate Life Brewery are hosting Froth and Fury Festival again in 2024 and the promoters have certainly dialled up the energy levels to eleven. With 32 bands across 3 stages, it’s truly an electrifying line up. With an eclectic lineup that includes Northlane, Thy Art is Murder, Fear Factory and a Testeagles reunion…
Whilst by no means is Justin Baldoni‘s It Ends with Us making light of its central domestic violence thematic, Christy Hall‘s script adaptation of Colleen Hoover‘s novel is unable to entirely find the momentum needed to keep such a story emotionally engaging across its testing 130 minutes. With its Pinterest-like lens on romanticising its Boston…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has landed at a particularly interesting point in my life. I’ve never really considered myself a huge Warhammer 40,00 fan, and only really dabbled in certain games like the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and even the more recent Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, simply because they appealed to me from a…
What are ya? Yob or Wanker? Well, either way, it’s time to roll your mind back 30 years and dust off your old Australian ’90s CDs in preparation for one of the most crazy, exciting and inappropriate bands in Australia’s history. For the first time in 20 years, TISM are embarking on a (short) headline…
We’ve seen buddy heist comedies before, especially when the perpetrators are a fair bit on the amateur side, but that doesn’t make them necessarily less enjoyable. There is a beauty to the comfort of familiarity, and not every film needs to have something profound to say or gut-wrench you to emotional oblivion, especially in this…
Sydney’s 51st Avenue have created a niche for themselves with a love of electronic pop and heavy rock, and blending them effortlessly together. Last month, they dropped their latest hard-hitting single, “MOMENTS”, and today we are thrilled to be premiering the video for the track. The track starts with some sweet electronic pop elements, with…
The era of the climb is over, but Uluru’s array of dazzling cultural experiences has made it an even more vital destination for all Australians. It’s not every day the world’s longest surviving culture invites you into its home, but here I am. Layered-up in a laundry-load of clothes, my breath fails to cloud despite…
Legendary noise-pop pioneers The Jesus and Mary Chain captivated the crowd last weekend, filling the Forum with a rowdy crowd. The Scottish icons delivered a set drenched in their signature reverb and distortion, with a solid on-stage presence. Celebrating the enduring legacy of their influential sound, highlights from the set included classics like “Just Like…

Opening on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood earlier in the year, the new Power Up Cafe is a companion to Super Nintendo World in the theme park’s lower lot. The “cafe” sits in the New York strip, taking inspiration from the “real life” Mario universe you saw featured in the billion-dollar making Super…
To celebrate the home digital release of Despicable Me 4, thanks to Universal Pictures we have an exclusive piece of concept art to give away to one lucky reader, signed by the voice of Gru himself, Steve Carell, as well as a Digital Access Code so you can view the film at home. In Illumination’s…
You’ve definitely heard Sweet, even if the name doesn’t ring a bell. With iconic hits like “Ballroom Blitz” and “Fox On The Run” and a mammoth career spanning over fifty years, Sweet has navigated a tumultuous history. Yet throughout all the spinoff groups, the revolving door of band members, and the multiple hiatuses, one constant…
Over the last 10 years, I must admit, I have been a Roomba convert. Being able to “set and forget” the mundane task of vacuuming and mopping the floors has simply been a godsend. So the notion of bringing a new cleaning product into my life that requires manual operation was an interesting question to…
Chinese company Dreame Technology is a fairly new name in Sydney, but it’s one that could easily make an impact in the coming months as more of the brand’s advanced robot vacuums rip into the increasingly crowded market. For the past few years, the market for robot vacuums has become just as fiery and competitive…
What do you get when you combine two iconic, era-defining front men who together account for nine number-one albums, millions of record sales and a staggering 38 songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100? Well, mostly the answer is a question: Why didn’t this happen sooner? The real answer to that question though, is Fanning Dempsey…
Whilst Detained can’t always escape its low budget, B-movie atmosphere, props must be given to co-writer/director Felipe Mucci for having a clear destination in mind to guide his film whenever it threatens to write itself into a corner. Co-written with Jeremy Palmer, Detained banks a lot of its narrative on coincidence, and it certainly asks…
From unflattering comparisons, unassailable legacies and assumptions of unearned success, following in the footsteps of a famous parent likely requires a little bit of masochism. No doubt the privilege, access, and prestige of being the offspring of a Beatle like Julian Lennon or Zak Starkey makes things easier, but the bravery to follow in those…
