After I had the privilege of enjoying the heavy beats and the amazing sounds of Caribou at the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday night, I headed up to the Oxford Art Factory to see another Laneway act parading their wares in Sydney, 28 year old American folk artist Angel Olsen. The talented vocalist based in…
We named it as one of our most anticipated films of the year, and now we’re getting our first look at the Oscar winning actress who’s fronting the project. Above is the first still released from the film Ricki and the Flash, which continues actress Meryl Streep’s run in a series of music based projects,…

Benedict Cumberbatch’s strong acting in…
It was an overcast windy afternoon and Sydney Harbour was a little choppy as we made our way out to The Island. Just like the harbour, British garage rock duo Royal Blood are also making waves on the music scene.
Norwegian Indie pop group highasakite first captured Australia’s attention with a unique blend of synthesisers, soaring melodies and ethereal vocals. Now flash forward and their popularity is only growing with every new release, interview and performance. Larry Heath recently sat down with Ingrid Helene Havik and Kristoffer Lo when they were here touring for the 2015 St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival and asked about their experiences touring abroad, supporting London Grammar and what they did for Australia Day.
Less than a year after the release of their debut album “Mainline,” One Day have been making their mark on the scene with significant radio exposure, appearances at festivals such as Field Day and Beyond The Valley and a spot in the much loved Triple J Hottest 100. Their next achievement? The 2015 ‘Many Hands’ Tour, a new round of dates following their massive Mainline tour last year.
After having a whirlwind year of success in 2014, topped off by “Talk Is Cheap” peaking as number one song in Triple J’s Hottest 100, there’s no surprise Chet Faker’s national tour is almost sold out.
Departing from their usual high energy performances and blazing riffs, The Cairos are taking it down a few notches with their latest single “Insane.”
It was one of the most anticipated Laneway sideshows – so anticipated, in fact, that even drummer Brad Weber’s family flew down from the USA to see the concert. And like so many artists before him who have stepped foot onto the stage, Daniel “Dan” Snaith couldn’t help but bring note to the occasion, “I’m…
Upon reflection, “No More Mr. Noishe Guy” was actually a massive game-changer. Not only did we lose perhaps the best supporting character, but something happened at the end to switch everything up and change the course of the show in a way that I really didn’t think would happen until the end of this season….
Aussie siblings Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner put themselves forward as highly competent creatives with outback horror film Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, delivering a no-bullshit, slightly satirical, zombie film that is speedily climbing it’s genre, standing upon the pile of dead or decaying carbon-copies while heralding something unique and supremely entertaining. Kiah directed and Tristan…
The sun is setting over the spectacular Sydney Harbour and we’re aboard The Island, a fully kit out barge awaiting the arrival of Mark Ronson. Even though he’s running a little late, the wait is well worth it and he subsequently made up for his tardiness triple fold.
Today we’re proud to premiere the new single from Melbourne group Running Young – the track “We Are The Sons”, which is the title track of their debut EP, due out this April.

Last week, it was announced that the eagerly anticipated reboot of Ghostbusters by director Paul Feig would be happening – and it would be starring an all-female cast.

Being an avid goer of Soundwave for six years, every year I’ve always been happy with the turnout of the event. This year, the festival panned across two days which was something I wasn’t used to, but then again, this meant that it would bring me more time to explore the talented bands out there. Going to…
When it comes to Enter Shikari, there’s no doubt that their music is followed religiously by fans around the world. With their electronic twist to post-hardcore music, it can be said that standing out from the crowd is their A-game, as well as their ability to make every track sound entertaining from start to finish. From…
It’s been exciting to see Spookyland re-emerge in recent months, off the back of the band’s latest EP Rock and Roll Weakling. It feels appropriate to consider the EP something of a new start for a project that didn’t quite take off back in 2010, when it was essentially the solo effort of Marcus Gordon….
