It’s Valentine’s Day folks, that time of year where the world gets a little bit sappier. I must admit, I’m not immune to this Hallmark holiday. We reject the way restaurants jack up their prices, so I’m preparing to spend the afternoon whipping up a three-course meal. Yep, entrée, main, and even dessert. I have…

Kids at Risk do “Griff The Invisible” Soundtrack
I don’t normally write about movies here, but I’m pretty excited about Griff the Invisible. It’s a sweet little Aussie film, with a solid romance to keep me happy and super hero themes for the lads. It’s already being described as “Kick Ass meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” which sounds pretty brilliant in…
Go Behind the Scenes with Barry Southgate on EP Artwork Shoot
When I posted Barry Southgate’s new song “Don’t You Think?” you all made it very clear that you liked what you heard. So I figured it was only fair that I gave you a little more of the man himself as we head towards the release of his debut EP Epitome. This video takes you…
Red Remedy One to Watch
Red Remedy may be one of Sydney’s best kept secrets. This hard-rocking act almost packed out the iconic Annandale Hotel when they released their debut EP Oblivion late last year. Their single “The Fray” got a few airings on Rage, and was also heavily supported by local community radio. The only question I’m asking is…

R.I.P. Steve Prestwich
While we were still reeling from the untimely death of Sherbet’s Harvey James, we learned that we’d also lost Steve Prestwich. The Cold Chisel drummer died from a brain tumour on Sunday at the age of 56. Steve began to play with Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss, and Don Walker in the early 70s outfit Orange….
The Level Spirits Release “Take It Out” Music Video
The first music video to catch my attention this year is the quirkily cool “Take It Out,” the debut single from The Level Spirits. There’s an alt country vibe to this track, which features gorgeous vocals from Molly-Jean Morrison. I also love the film clip, which takes a fun look at the perfect nuclear family,…
Guy Sebastian Reclaims ARIA Number One
After being ousted from the top spot last week, Guy Sebastian has returned to the number one position on the ARIA Singles Charts this week with “Who’s That Girl.” Again he’s keeping company with Jessica Mauboy, who’s holding on to the top 10 by her fingernails with “Saturday Night.” There doesn’t seem to be any…
Icecream Hands Reunite for Sweeter Than the Radio
Melbourne’s Icecream Hands will play for their home town one more time later this month. The indie band hasn’t played together since their 2007 album, The Good China. The one-off show will see Icecream Hands going back in the vault to play their 2000 release, Sweeter Than The Radio, in its entirety. The acclaimed disc…
