Breaking Orbit kick off their tour tonight to support the release of their new single “My Direction.” But before they took to the stage I caught up with the progressive rock act to talk about life on the road, their forthcoming album, and cover songs. You’ve toured around the country with Cog, Dead Letter Circus…
Laneous and the Family Yah is a band that definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously. That should be pretty evident on watching the film clip for their new single “I Am Dog,” which documents a day in the life of James Lane, the owner of the World’s First Dog, Cat and Pigeon Zoo. As you’ll…
It’s been a bit quiet on the Stan Walker front, but the reigning Australian Idol is almost ready to unleash his first album of original material. From the Inside Out hits record stores around Australia and New Zealand tomorrow. Stan’s taken his time on this release, some nine months since winning the reality TV show…
I pride myself on listening to music of all genres, but I must admit I felt a little out of my depth when I put Useless Children’s new EP Skin into my stereo. It exploded out of my speakers with what initially seemed like a whole lot of noise. I wondered what I’d say about…
And those festival announcements just keep on coming. On the Pulse is a new kid on the block, but something tells me this youth-oriented event is going to take off in a big way. It’ll bring 15 unsigned and independent punk, rock, and pop acts to Brisbane on October 23; they’ll play across two stages…
You know festival season is afoot once those line-up announcements begin to roll in. Today Meredith unveiled an impressive collection of bands for its 20th anniversary. This is really an eclectic bill with literally something for everybody. I don’t think you’re ever going to find Crowded House on the same bill as American gangsta rappers…
Melbourne based singer-songwriter Ryan Murphy is making waves in the music industry with his new outfit the Lion and Ryan. I caught up with Ryan ahead of the band’s upcoming residency at The Wesley-Anne to chat about his love for his adopted home, his new band, and his plans for the future. You’re preparing to…
Congratulations to Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Rogue Traders drummer Cameron McGlinchey, who became first time parents yesterday. The engaged couple is celebrating the birth of their daughter Harper Rain Sinclair McGlinchey. The little one was born at a private Melbourne hospital and tipped the scales at 3.22 kg. “Natalie Bassingthwaighte is a mum,” her manager Mark…
Brisbane alterna rockers Greenthief have been building a solid reputation as a live act, so it only makes sense that the film clip for their new single “Plea for Sanctuary” showcases that raw, performance energy. The emotive vocals and wailing guitars of this track have definitely suckered me in. It comes from Greenthief’s debut EP…
We heard a taste of Blue King Brown’s new album with the single “Women’s Revolution,” and now Worldwize Part I: North & South is almost ready to drop. The epic double record has taken the band from their Melbourne base to New York, Las Vegas, and Jamaica. Along the way they worked with some incredible…
