You might not have heard of Australian girl group Trinity yet, but something tells me that’s going to change pretty quickly. Yianna, Sammy, and Stephanie are heading to Los Angeles to record their debut album, which will be released through PLW Entertainment later in the year. The disc will include the song “Ever ‘n Ever,”…
I didn’t really care for Stan Walker’s debut single “Black Box,” but his follow up “Unbroken” is great stuff. Although once you look at the songwriting credits, it’s no surprise. Ryan Tedder knows how to craft a hit, from his work with Leona Lewis, Beyonce, and Jordin Sparks to material for his own band One…
Sydney metal band Resist the Thought are set to take Australia by storm with the release of their debut album Damnation. I recently caught up with the band’s guitarist Tim to chat about the album, their upcoming tour, and what lies ahead. Many of my readers will be unfamiliar with your music. How would you…
Police have put a stop to Justin Bieber’s only public Australian appearance this morning following fears for the safety of his female fans. Justin’s concert at the Overseas Passenger Terminal was scrapped in favour of a more controlled show at Sunrise Headquarters. His set was also downsized from three songs to one.

On Friday night I stepped back to the 80s for the Tears for Fears/Spandau Ballet show at Sydney’s Entertainment Centre. Thankfully despite the years that had passed since these monster acts last graced our shores, nothing much has changed.

Brisbane pop-punk act Flicks are back with their new single “Hayley.” The fun track is an ode to Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams. It imagines what the Flicks lads would do if they ever scored a date with their dream woman. And apparently it has the seal of approval from Hayley Williams’ real life squeeze, Chad…
Major Label, General Pants Co’s “singles only” record label, is going from strength to strength. Following the signing of three acts in March, Major Label has announced it will release three new singles next month. Again, there’s a lovely eclectic mix of talent. The singles are “Love Me” from Sydney indie folk act Underlights, “Pairs”…
The lads from Gyroscope have lashed out at former record label Warner Music for releasing a greatest hits record without their consent or knowledge. The band only became aware of the release when fans alerted them through Facebook. They say the album does not represent value for money. “The song selection, artwork and everything about…
When I first encountered Mark Sholtez some years ago he was supporting Human Nature. He was the sort of jazz artist I might expect to see in Las Vegas; I could tell he was good but he was also incredibly cheesy. Still, he must have been doing something right because I remember his name all…
After years rocking out on Aussie pub stages, Skarlet Blue have turned a corner. The Melbourne four-piece are showing off a new, more melodic sound with the release of their debut EP Shades of Grey. I recently caught up with the band’s bassist Ryan Di Cecco to chat about the CD, their upcoming Aussie tour,…
