Premiere:
The Eyeballers –
Lost At Sea / It Wasn’t Over
Back with a new double single, The Eyeballers once again entice us into the surf-rock realm with ‘Lost at Sea’ and ‘It Wasn’t Over.’ With an energy that drives the body to dance but the mind to ease, these tracks are a quintessential combination of grit and groove.
Track by Track:
Alien Nosejob – Once Again The Present Becomes The Past
On Once Again The Present Becomes The Past, Melbourne’s busiest rocker Alien Nosejob (aka Jake Robertson) pulls another U-turn and veers back into grimy punk territory with a new level of focus, firmly gripped on war and history’s insistence on repeating itself.
Video Premiere:
Swimwear – Happyness
Following the release of ‘Happyness’ from Tim Derricourt’s dream-pop project Swimwear, today we have the pleasure of sharing the new clip for the single – blending disco synths with sprawling dance moves, ‘Happyness’ effortlessly captures the blissful freedom of being alone.
Premiere:
Super-X – Turn To Black
The second cut from their forthcoming debut album, ‘Turn To Black’ could also be Super-X’s mission statement – their full-throttled industrial punk is a sonic slap in the face that engulfs listeners in a murky darkness, leaving us dizzy and disoriented.
Premiere:
Horse Meat! – Horse Meat
Today we have the pleasure of premiering the debut album from Horse Meat!, a collection of dark and uncompromising post-punk, unironically built around the sounds of 80’s synth-pop and unpinned by a furious, agitated edge.
Premiere:
Emma Shields – Mind
Following her debut single released as part of Osborne Again and co’s Stay Inside compilation, Emma Shields is back today with ‘Mind’, another dose of her intoxicating and immersive dream-pop that gives us a secondary glimpse into her evocative sonic world.
Teether and X Amount Records:
The New Aussie Hip-Hop Underground
Teether represents a new age in Australian hip-hop. On his latest album Desert Visuals, he rejects tired traditional sounds and aesthetics, in favour of an abstract, off-kilter approach that is nurtured by his label-mates at X Amount Records.
A Bridge Between Worlds –
A Chat With Mindy Meng Wang 王萌
To celebrate the release of Mindy Meng Wang’s new boundary-shattering EP, An Improvisation Through Time and Space 穿越时光的即兴, she took the time to share with us her globe-spanning story and the inner-world that has defined it.

Staying In with Hydra Fashion Week
We check in with Charlie Teitelbaum, singer and songwriter of Hydra Fashion Week, to find out what they’ve been up to during lockdown.
Premiere:
Plastic – New Hands
Ahead of its official release tomorrow via Spoilsport Records, we’ve been treated to an exclusive listen of Plastic’s long-awaited debut album – visceral, nervy and thrillingly haphazard, New Hands is a beaming celebration of the noise-pop quartet’s most bizarrely captivating music yet.
Track by Track:
Exquisite Corpse – Lilith
Off the back of the release of her debut EP Lilith today, Melbourne-based producer/songwriter Lily Dee has invited us into the ambient and evocative world of Exquisite Corpse, and taken us through the EP track by track.
