Stonefield Sisters Rock
While watching Video Hits on Sunday the clip for this song, “Through the Clover” by Stonefield, caught my eye. After doing a bit of digging, I was thrilled to find that this rocking sister act is one of our own. In a world of vacuous female pop acts with auto-tuned vocals, it’s so refreshing to…

Gold Coast grunge rockers Moons of Jupiter take us back to a time when slogging it out in pubs and delivering solid live sets was the only way to make it in the business.

James Blunt Heading Back to Australia
After visiting our shores on promotional duty recently, it was only a matter of time before James Blunt announced a proper tour. He’ll be here in May to spruik his brand new album Some Kind of Trouble. I’m not sure what kind of trouble the sweet British singer would ever find himself in, but I…
