Damien Leith won the Australian Idol title in 2006, but his career since has been overshadowed by the year’s runner-up Jessica Mauboy. Damien’s refused to just fade away though.

Convaire Get Toes Tapping with “Talk in Technicolour”
My days of clubbing are far behind me, but if I were heading out tonight to celebrate the arrival of the weekend I’d want the DJ to spin something like Convaire’s new single “Talk in Technicolour.” The Sydney four-piece has built on the sound they showcased on their 2011 debut. The synthesizers are still front…

To celebrate Jordie’s return to our shores, and the recent release of his EP Not Built to Last, Jordie’s released the video for his killer new single “Here She Comes.” The clip gets us up close and personal with this incredible alt-country talent.

Audego Get it Right with “Fight”
I must admit, I wasn’t really feeling Audego when they released their last single “Sleepy”, but with their follow-up “Fight” they’ve really turned my head. I think the difference here is the strong emotional core. More than just an intriguing electronic number, it’s a powerful snapshot of a marriage gone wrong. Producer Paso Bionic plays…
The Acfields Need Your Help for Album Funding
With 18 days to go, Dan and Hannah Acfield are still well short of their Pozible goal. If they don’t reach it, these super-talented siblings will run out of the cash they need to finish their first full-length album. Giving to the cause is well worth your while. Not only will you enjoy the satisfaction…
The Siren Tower Tour “King River” Single
Rootsy Perth rockers The Siren Tower are hitting the road this week to support the recent release of their epic new single “King River.” Isn’t it refreshing to hear an Australian song sung with a truly Australian voice? That accent and those rough edges give it a real honesty that’s so compelling. The Siren Tower’s…
Beautiful Fools Tour Beautiful Single
Matt Harris, Shawn Whittaker, and Leigh Wilson might call themselves the Beautiful Fools, but there’s nothing silly about the music they make. The strength of their early demos enticed American producer Matt Malpass, who previously worked with Train, to help them record and produce their debut self-titled EP. This recording features the lush single “Small…
Forever the Optimist Tour “Revolutions”
Brisbane rock act Forever the Optimist will take their new single “Revolutions” to the masses next month, following plenty of local and American radio love. It’s easy to see why radio stations at home and in the States are digging this track. I appreciate that the band built it beautifully rather than going for the…
Louis London Serves Up New Single
Sydney five-piece Louis London offers us a sneak peek at their forthcoming sophomore EP with the release of their new single “This Night Time”. Who would have thought a humble band holiday to a tiny fly-fishing shack in Jindabyne would result in such a lush, epic track? It’s such a solid song that soars with…
Carmichael Does Lady Gaga
Carmichael continues to push the envelope with this very cool new video. In it he puts his own spin on Lady Gaga’s latest single “Applause”. Of course, Carmichael’s far too creative to perform just a simple cover. He mashes the song with his own original “Girl”, and adds a bit of Bowie and Andy Warhol…
