There’s no sleep for the wicked, or electro rockers MM9. Fresh from their recent tour Karnivool, the Sydney band are hitting the road to support their latest single “Let It Take Over.” The track comes from The Air Between, the band’s debut album which achieved a credible top 10 AIR chart debut. See MM9 play…
Happy Father’s Day! I’ll bet there are plenty of readers out there who consider this to be another of those Hallmark holidays, but I don’t mind a day that gives me an excuse to catch up with my Dad. We touch base regularly, but those days where the entire family gets together are a bit…
If you’re looking for great music and a laidback atmosphere you’ll find it at Island Vibe, the leading reggae, roots, and cultural festival in the South Pacific. The event will take over North Stradbroke Island from October 29 to 31. 2009 was the event’s biggest year, but 2010 is promising to top it with new…

It’s impossible to dislike Sydney outfit Walking with Mirrors. With their debut EP Behind Closed Doors they deliver five tracks that easily find their way under your skin. They’re not so revolutionary on the surface, but there’s just something about them. We’ve all heard this kind of melodic rock before, with its big chords and…
Thirsty Merc are hitting the road again with a brand new tour to promote their brand new single “Tommy & Krista.” The song is one of my favourite cuts from Mousetrap Heart with its piano pop hooks and fantastic lyrics. It’s clear that Australia agrees, with the song becoming the fifth most added on radio…
Marcia Hines is taking on the music of Carole King with her latest album, not so originally titled Marcia Sings Tapestry. “Carole King’s Tapestry is an album that has been very integral in my life,” explained Marcia in a statement. “I love singing and these songs allow me to sing.” Like Marcia, and a great…
Nikki Jenson, or Nikki J as she’s known on stage, is the latest young hopeful on the way to country music stardom with the help of the Telstra Road to Tamworth competition. I recently caught up with the Queensland girl who’s just taken out the Cairns heat to chat about the competition, her love of…
