Premieres

With the countdown well and truly on until the release of his debut album Cong! next month, new-wave/post-punk rabble-rouser Cong Josie has offered up an extra sneak peak of the new record today with a glorious live concert film shot this past May at Hotel Westwood in Footscray.

Ahead of its official release tomorrow through Blossom Rot Records, today we’ve got the pleasure of sharing ‘Boundary Queen’ from rising Sydney indie-rockers Sweetie, a dose of vibrant guitar-pop that perfectly introduces the quartet and their self-described “devo country punk” sound.

Today we’re delighted to premiere The Bad Randys’ first offering ‘Serotonin’, an incendiary burst of layered guitars and reverb-soaked vocals that pays homage both to their psych rock contemporaries Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees as well as shoegaze acts of decades past like My Bloody Valentine and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

When he’s not leading Vintage Crop’s frenetic blitzes, Jack Cherry is also busy as the brains behind post-punk powerhouse Dragnet and running his own record label Weather Vane Records. We caught up with Jack to discuss about the records that have a place in his life.

Ahead of its release tomorrow, we’ve got a sneak peak at Fleeting Persuasion’s brand new single ‘Eternal’ – a brooding dose of electronic-tinged indie-rock that finds project mastermind James Spencer Harrison once again twisting the edges of his forever shifting sound.

If you’re part of the Hobsons Bay Coast Guard fan club, you’ll be thrilled with the news today – the local surf-pop favourites come bearing gifts. Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering their delirious new single ‘Anonymous Zone’, which arrives alongside news that their excellently named second album Tubular Swells is on the way.

Coolabah Kings present their very first output as a band ‘Spineless’, a raucous narrative driven blast of garage-punk. We’re stoked to be premiering the track today alongside a chat with the band to get to know them better. 

Ahead of its official release this Friday, today we have the pleasure of sharing a first listen to Pascal Babare’s stunning fourth album Cave Without A Name – a collection of modest chamber-folk that catches the charming singer-songwriter crafting his most assured and imaginative music yet.

Calm and collected on the exterior, Jake Robertson’s head is constantly and quietly turning over ideas. Currently the punk brains behind Alien Nosejob, we spoke to Jake about some records in his life and just what they mean to him.

A coalescence of evocative instrumentation, simmering hooks and humble indie-folk charm, Outer South’s debut album We Must Be Dreaming is a soothing remedy to a nostalgic state of mind. Today we have the pleasure of premiering the new album today ahead of its official release tomorrow.

Thibault’s debut LP Or Not Thibaut is a true whimsical treat, especially in these grey months of lockdown and isolation. Nicole kindly took us through and spoke about the records that coincide with moments in her life.

On ‘Chopper’, Shove more than live up to their name with a forceful punk blitz that’s equal parts furious and thrilling, pointing towards big things to come from their forthcoming debut 7” out next month through Rack Off Records.
