Boy & Bear’s latest album Harlequin Dream is still doing great business in the charts. Perhaps that’s because this Aussie act is just so consistent. There’s no second–single syndrome going on with the latest cut “Three Headed Woman”. Perhaps it’s just because it’s new and shiny, but I think I like this track better than…

The Toot Toot Toots are Twin Beasts
The Melbourne rockers formerly known as The Toot Toot Toots are back with a brand new name and a great new single. They’ve released their latest track “Badlove” under their new moniker Twin Beasts. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but I think that’s one of the things I love most about it. It…
EMPRA Tour “Strange Condition”
After taking out a global LiveNation band competition and opening for Fall Out Boy abroad, EMPRA are stepping things up as headliners. The Melbourne band has just released their second EP Strange Condition, which features this killer title track “Strange Condition”. The number sounds like it’s ready for the radio. It’s got a great rock…
RubyIce Show Aussies Can Make J-Pop Too
I’d always assumed that being Japanese was a prerequisite for creating J-Pop. I mean, that’s the J part, right? But the press releases are insisting differently, hailing the identical twin sisters of RubyIce as pioneers of the genre Down Under. They’re stepping out of the Asian Pop underground scene and heading into the mainstream with…

Castlecomer Get Animated
Castlecomer have captivated me with the music video for their brand new single “Danny’s Dan”. The whimsical stop-animation clip was shot over ten full days, which were ten days well spent if you ask me. This stunning video should appeal to the kid in all of us. The Sydney band has created a beautiful track…
Paul Dempsey Does Karaoke
I’m a real fan of a great cover version, and Paul Dempsey recorded plenty of them during Something for Kate’s recent national tour. He did it without the adulation of the crowd, preferring instead to record his performances backstage and post them on YouTube. This take on Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place”, recorded…
Villainy Plans Trip Across the Ditch
“Alligator Skin” is one of the most stellar rock songs I’ve heard in some time. It’s not exactly setting the charts on fire, but hopefully that will all change when the band behind the song, New Zealand’s Villainy, hit our shores next month. Villainy will get in front of plenty of Aussies during their stay…
Dan Sultan Guests on Way of the Eagle Single
When ARIA-nominated producer Jan Skubisewski recruited Dan Sultan to provide guest vocals for his debut single as solo act Way of the Eagle, the result was always bound to be musical magic. The song that came out of their work together is “Rattlesnake”, a Triple J favorite that takes us right to the cantinas of…
