Mali Mali Bring Back Summer with “Song for the Sun”
As I’m shivering here with my fluffy dressing gown on and my heater blasting, the warmth of summer sun seems a distant memory. But Mali Mali have got me reminiscing with the release of their debut music video “Song for the Sun.” This is a gorgeous folky number which hints at what’s to come on…
The Vanturas Rock Out with “Tightrope”
The Vanturas have knocked my socks off with their debut single “Tightrope”. Talk about making a great first impression! The song takes me back to the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies with its driving rockabilly beat and deliciously dark lyrics. If you’re not tapping your foot along with this one by the end there’s something wrong….
The Murlocs “Rattle the Chain”
The Murlocs make music like few others. It’s gritty, bluesy, ballsy, and honest. All those adjectives hold true for the Melbourne band’s latest single “Rattle The Chain.” Those raspy vocals, the guttural moan of a harmonica, I’m in heaven. And to think its vocals and overdubs were recorded in bedroom studios. This is the best…
Tom Busby’s Good Oak Hit the Road
When he’s not wowing crowds as one half of Busby Marou, Tom Busby is making beautiful music with his housemates Stephen Ryan and Brett Gibson. Together they are Good Oak, a three-piece creating some of the most gorgeous folk music I’ve heard in some time. The Queensland band’s just released their debut self-titled EP which…
Pigeon Release Top Track “Encounters”
Brisbane band Pigeon are back with another killer single, “Encounters”. They’ve brought back the sax that I loved in “All That Bad”, and a chorus you’ll find yourself singing along to by the time the video’s done. It’s not quite mellow enough to be chill-out music, but unless your head is really pounding you’ll find…
Vaudeville Smash! Release Debut Album
Melbourne’s Vaudeville Smash! are bringing back New Wave sounds with the release of their debut album Dancing for the Girl. The fun single “Look at Me” gives us a taste of the album, which hit stores yesterday. It’s got a gorgeous blend of dance and pop that makes children of the ‘80s like me feel…
Brittany Cairns Back with “Behind the Scenes”
All eyes are firmly on the new crop of The Voice contestants, but it’s worth noting that some of last year’s finalists are carving out credible careers away from the glare of the television cameras. One such talent is Brittany Cairns, who’s just released her new single “Behind the Scenes”. If you’re a Taylor Swift…
Atlas Genius Poised to Conquer America
Adelaide double act Atlas Genius might just have what it takes to be our next big export. The lads are putting in the hard yards now after the recent release of their debut album When It Was Now. The album showcases the pop sensibilities and synth-laden riffs that had crowds buzzing at South by Southwest….
Remembering the Fallen with Mick Thomas
I don’t think it’s right to just let ANZAC Day go by without acknowledging it. It’s not just another day. It’s a day for us all to pause and remember those who lost our life fighting for the freedom that we take for granted, and the ones who came back but were never the same….
