King Coyote Rocks Out With “Coca Cola”

Put a shot of caffeine into your morning with King Coyote’s high-octane new single “Coca Cola.” One for all the rock fans out there, its chunky guitar riffs and hooky vocals strike all the right notes.

“This song is a bit of old time rock n roll, a throwback with our twist,” explained frontman Sunny Rowlands. “’Coca Cola’ was inspired by true love, about seeing the red flags and acting on it, before you lose too much time … or whatever the listener thinks it’s about. We like both!”

“Coca Cola” comes from the Port Macquarie band’s upcoming EP Wild. Hometown fans can catch them at the following shows in the coming months.

18 October 2019 – Finnians, Port Macquarie (with Slippery Gypsees and Scuffy)
1 November 2019 – Art of the Empire, Port Macquarie (Acoustic)
28 December 2019 – Tacking Point Tavern, Port Macquarie (supporting Thirsty Merc)

Marloe. Releases New Pop Bop, “Ruminate”

Brisbane-based pop prodigy Marloe. has captured the first flush of love with her smashing new single “Ruminate.” This track is so dreamy, from Marloe.’s heavenly vocals to the way the synths work with that banging bass beat.

“‘Ruminate’ is about the emotional and physical reaction your body has when you start to fall for someone,” she explained. “It’s about that connection you create when a person goes from being a total stranger, to someone you want to know every single thing about.”

With ear-pleasers like this in her arsenal, Marloe. has the right ingredients to become the next big thing.

Chitra Stands Up For Herself With “A Kind”

Melbourne songstress Chitra issues a brutal takedown with her latest single “A Kind.” It’s a song full of sass about having the self-confidence to realise when someone isn’t the one for you.

“A Kind’ is a song of frustration whilst being a little bit sarcastic about it,” Chitra explained. “To me, it’s a song about standing up for yourself and realizing your self worth, it’s almost cathartic to be putting it out.”

If you love Chitra’s rich haunting vocal tones as much as I do, and you live in her hometown, you’re in luck. She’ll launch the single at the Gasometer Upstairs on November 29.

Pretty Bleak Deliver Your Perfect Morning Soundtrack

Getting moving in the morning is always a challenge, but Melbourne’s Pretty Bleak are here to make the task a bit easier. Their latest single “Jawline” has the shimmery pop synths and singalong chorus you need to get fired up.

This song sounds so slick it’s hard to believe it’s the band’s first release. It’s a little poppy, a little punky, a little dancy, and a whole lot of cool.

“The song is about finding a personal balance between vanity and pragmatism. Being able to utilise hedonism and direct it towards something beneficial, rather than frivolous or trivial,” explained lead singer Sam Thomas. “I wrote and recorded two and a half different demos of this song before I finally got it to a place where I was happy with the blend of interesting pop conventions, and more self-indulgent abstract sounds and compositions. The intention of it was to try and write something that could be seen as a more straight-forward kind of mainstream single, without compromising the more unique aspects of the sound.”

Pretty Bleak will launch the single for hometown fans at Grace Darling Hotel on November 15.

Eaglemont Touring All Over With “Heteronormative Nightmare” Single

Melbourne music maker Eaglemont unpacks queerness in her latest track, “Heteronormative Nightmare.” I love its insightful, witty lyrics and those fuzzy rock guitars.

Eaglemont sets the scene for the single. “Picture this. You’re in the back of a limousine, your mum’s taken you to Myer to get your makeup done, you have a corsage on your wrist and you’re seated next a handsome formal date surrounded by your peers, a more perfect picture could not be painted. Alas a stark realisation dawns upon you. You’re stuck in a Heteronormative Nightmare and you’re gay.”

Young Robin’s “Tropical Punch” is Your Next Summer Anthem

Perth act Young Robin are spreading a little sunshine with the release of their latest single “Tropical Punch.” It’s the perfect track to usher in warmer weather, with its calypso rhythm, that vibrant guitar line, and cool beachy vibe.

Young Robin have been doing great things on the West Coast playing events like WAM Weekender and Joondalup Festival. Hopefully this is the track to help them break around the rest of the country. In the coming months they’ll support I Call Val at Lucy’s Love Shack in Perth on October 30, then play The Get Down! at Indian Ocean Hotel on November 30.

Enjoy a Taste of Chops & Mash

Chops & Mash are making delicious music like their latest single “Castle High.” This is one of those songs that sneaks up on you, drawing you in with its delicate treatment and beautiful harmonies. The lyrics, which explore the idea of the way we take freedom of information for granted and will willingly sacrifice our privacy for convenience are so timely.

The modern themes are appropriate for this Mullumbimby act who came together over Instagram to make music. Today a real life couple, they balance their musical ambitions with the responsibility of caring for mini-Chops! Juggling music and parenthood can’t be easy, but hopefully we hear more from this talented twosome really soon.

Creature Fear Ease You Into Your Working Week With “Makeup”

Getting back to work after a long weekend is never easy, but Melbourne’s Creature Fear are here to blast away the blues with their feelgood new single “Makeup.” It’s got a cool ‘60s garage rock feel with a fun pop flair that makes it great fun from the first listen, but even more likeable with every subsequent spin. Trust me.

Vocalist and guitarist Cameron Graham says the song is “about feeling suppressed but experiencing an awakening that gives you an urge to want to portray yourself true to who you are.”

Creature Fear have earned a reputation as a must-see band through support slots with Killing Heidi, Ball Park Music, Kingswood, Tired Lion, The Delta Riggs, and Boo Seeka. Victorians can catch them doing their thing at the remaining shows of their single launch tour.

11 October 2019 – The Catfish, Melbourne
12 October 2019 – The Workers Club, Geelong (FREE)

Josh Kroehn’s New Single is Fire

Some songs are great background music. They provide a soundtrack that helps us charge forward with our day. However, there are other songs that require a little more attention. If you don’t give them your full focus, you might just miss their beauty. “Here I Burn,” the latest track from Josh Kroehn’s EP Something I’ve Found is one of those songs that really deserves you to take a moment out of your day and just listen.

It starts small and subtle. Wait for it though. It might be a slow burner, but when it takes hold it doesn’t let go. The self-reflective lyrics are also so powerful.

Josh will launch his EP for hometown audiences at The Jade in Adelaide on October 11.
