Dami Im Stuns With “Crying Underwater”

Watching Dami Im perform her new single “Crying Underwater” before its release was one of the highlights of her recent Wyong show. She was clearly so proud of this introspective number and thrilled by our rapturous response. The song was co-written with Michael Tan, but Dami wrote most of it at home on the piano. It’s been given some modern production in the studio, but at its heart it really is a classic, confessional piano ballad.

“There is so much pressure in today’s society to always look happy so we end up feeling like we’re not allowed to talk about how we really feel. Just like you’re crying underwater where no one can see you crying,” Dami explained.

Dami still has plenty of shows left before she wraps up her Dreamer tour. Catch her singing this song and all your favourites at the following venues.

Geowulf Gets Us Excited About New Album With “Lonely”

Aussie expats Geowulf have just dropped their charming new single “Lonely.” The coming-of-age track about knowing your worth gives us a sweet taste of their forthcoming album My Resignation, which drops on October 25.

“In a way, ‘Lonely’ epitomises a lot of what this album means to me” explained vocalist Star Kendrick. “A bold and welcomed acceptance of myself and my own company. Feeling less and less like I need the approval of others. That’s one of the many nice things about getting a bit older.”

Geowulf are kicking major goals overseas. Hopefully we see them back on our shores really soon, but before that they’ve got some shows in North America and the United Kingdom in the coming months.

EGOISM Release Stellar New Single “What Are We Doing?”

Sydney dream pop duo EGOISM continue their winnings ways with the release of “What Are We Doing?” The song is brand new but it’s already zoomed to number two on Hype Machine’s 10 most-posted artists chart and gained airplay on Triple J. With its poignant lyrics and epic chorus, it’s not hard to see why it’s receiving so much love.

“This song is literally about making music with each other; but really it’s about letting out all the little worries you keep to yourself, and then taking a deep breath and realising ‘you and I, we don’t know what the fuck that we’re doing with this’. It can apply to our entire relationship, and to any relationship between two people really,” explained one half of the super-duo, Olive Rush.

Fresh from acclaimed appearances at BigSound, EGOISM will play some hometown shows this month. Catch Olive and Scout Eastment supporting Girlpool at the Lansdowne Hotel on September 15 or at Step Aside at the Roundhouse on September 26.

Don’t Miss Out on The Run’s Soulful New Single

Melbourne indie-pop act The Run have released their sublime new single “Missing Out On.” It starts small, with just the vocals from Connor Morel and a gentle electric guitar keeping his voice company, but builds to a soulful crescendo. I couldn’t help thinking of Sam Smith as I listened to this track’s awesome falsetto notes.

“This year has been our best one yet with people really loving what we’re doing and really wanting new material from us,” the band explained. “‘Missing Out On’ is our way of giving back and thanking people for their reception to our music.”

If you love what they do, get to The Run’s single launch at The Gasometer in Melbourne on September 12.

Maddy Jane Releases Superb New Song, “Something Old and Something New”

Tasmania’s Maddy Jane has captured my heart with her relatable new single “Something Old and Something New.” This charmer should resonate with anyone who’s fallen for someone at the wrong time. Let’s face it, who hasn’t been there?

“‘Something Old And Something New’ is about meeting someone when you’re not looking for a relationship and all the conflicting thoughts that come out of that situation,” she explained. “I think there’s an outdated assumption that women always want a relationship and this song’s basically like, we can not want it just as much as the boys.”

“Something Old and Something New” comes from Maddy Jane’s debut album, which is due out early next year. Until then, she’s playing a string of launch parties to celebrate the single’s release. Catch her at the following gigs.

2 November 2019 – Til the Wheels Fall Off, Launceston
8 November 2019 – Yah Yah’s, Melbourne
9 November 2019 – Forum, Melbourne (supporting Spiderbait)
16 November 2019 – Vic on the Park, Sydney (FREE)
5 December 2019 – Prom in the Gong @ Unibar, Wollongong

Little Quirks Release Stellar Single Ahead of New EP

This crowd-pleaser is the first track lifted from Little Quirks’ forthcoming EP Cover My Eyes, and it has me excited about what is to come.

Little Quirks are packing up the tour bus and hitting the East Coast this October and November to celebrate the EP’s release.

BOI Releases Empowering New Track, “Sick of Loving You”

Newcastle artist BOI speaks for all those women scorned with her new girl power anthem “Sick of Loving You.” This super-catchy track is the perfect song to blast when you’re ready to move on from a relationship that’s just not right.

BOI knows a thing or two about moving on and taking charge. Growing up she was told to act more like a girl. Her moniker is her effort to reclaim those insults and embrace her identity.

BOI has appeared at Splendour in the Grass, featured on an LDRU track, and worked with heavy-hitters like Alex Lahey, The Chainsmokers, and Godlands. If she keeps producing music that’s this irresistible, no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of her.

Bec Sandridge Strikes Gold Again With “Stranger”

As if the release of her last stellar single “Eyes Wide Shut” wasn’t enough to convince you to buy tickets for her upcoming shows, Wollongong’s own Bec Sandridge has sweetened the deal with a brand new banger, “Stranger.”

It’s got such an approachable pop sound, but some really deep themes bubbling just beneath the surface. It asks the big questions about whether we can ever really know someone, and even if we can ever really know ourselves.

“’Stranger’ is the proudest I’ve been of any song to date. It’s the most honest I’ve been with myself and others,” Bec said. “At the time I was struggling with image dysmorphia and unable to manage the anxiety that came along with that. I was lucky enough to marry the track with the visuals of diva/director/drag king Tanzer which helped me make sense of a lot of things. I felt it was the first time someone has been able to capture who I am holistically – the ugly, the unhinged, the raucous. I was forced to be comfortable in vulnerability – having a leaf blower on my face certainly helped!”

I really feel like Bec is making some of the best music of her career right now, so I can’t wait to hear her debut album Try + Save Me, which gets released on October 4. Remember, Bec is playing shows all over the country in October. Catch her at the following venues.

4 October 2019 – The Foundry, Brisbane
5 October 2019 – The Northern, Byron Bay (FREE ENTRY)
12 October 2019 – Hobart Brewing Company, Hobart
18 October 2019 – Cats @ Rocket Bar, Adelaide
19 October 2019 – Howler, Melbourne
25 October 2019 – Lansdowne, Sydney
26 October 2019 – UC Hub, Canberra
8 November 2019 – UniBar, Wollongong

River Lane Impresses With “Ghost of a Girl”

River Lane has come a long way since becoming the first busker in the history of Mannum, in regional South Australia. A former tradie and competitive water skier, River has just released her new single “Ghost of a Girl.”

It’s a gorgeous song that’s already earned airplay on Double J and Triple J. I love the haunting tone of River’s voice and the subtle dramatic world she creates. It’s one of those songs that makes you stop for a moment and just soak it all in.

“’Ghost of a Girl’ to me is about growing up and leaving my innocence behind,” River explained. “It’s about accepting who I am now and the decisions I have made whether right or wrong but never forgetting where I’ve come from.”

“Ghost of a Girl” comes from River’s forthcoming sophomore EP.
