With their reunion tour a little more than a month away, The Basics are treating us to a cracker new single in the form of “So Hard For You”. I use the term “new” pretty loosely here, as the track was actually recorded as a demo way back in 2010. It’s been thrust into the…

Elliott Wheeler Captivates with “Baker Man”
Elliott Wheeler has mesmerised me with his debut single “Baker Man”, the first cut from his debut album The Long Time.

Boy & Bear Take Us to New Zealand with Awesome New Video
Boy & Bear have outdone themselves with the video for their new single “Under a Southern Sun”.

Chet Faker & Saskwatch’s Nkechi Anele “Rock On” on RocKwiz
How good is RocKwiz this year? I must admit, the show used to be something I caught now and again.

The Middle Names Celebrates TV’s Past with New Music Video
Hobart five-piece The Middle Names appeals to our inner couch potatoes with the video for their latest single “Full Friends”. The clip splices together scenes from some of the best TV programs of the past, including The Drew Carey Show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Seinfeld. The track’s not bad either! It comes from…
Carmichael Does the Monster Mash
Brisbane electro-popster Carmichael has created something truly special with his latest musical effort, “Monster Lovesong”. Carmichael’s mashed up Adele’s take on The Cure’s “Lovesong” and Lady Gaga’s “Monster” to make something truly original and all his own. It’s eerie yet romantic, and complemented beautifully by the music video directed by Kasia Fryckowska.
David Bridie Floors Me with “Delegate” Video
David Bridie’s released one of the most powerful music videos I can remember watching for his new single “Delegate”. This is the kind of thing that speaks for itself, so I really shouldn’t waffle on.
