Premieres

Another teaser of their forthcoming sophomore album Modern Condition, Melbourne punk trio MOD CON are back today with ‘Learner in an Alpha’, a nervy post-punk blitz that doubles down on the unsettling energy of ‘Ammo’, paired with a new clip that’s equally as thrilling.

Ahead of its official release tomorrow, we’ve got the pleasure of sharing a first listen to Monnone Alone’s third album Stay Foggy, a collection of spirited guitar-pop crafted in lockdown that plays like a blissful and sometimes disorientating ride through the imaginative world of Mark Monnone.

On her debut EP Colours Of My People, singer-songwriter NIDALA combines her love of music and social justice to craft a collection of soulful indie-rock that comes loaded with wise and powerful messages. To celebrate the release today, NIDALA has kindly shared with us the stories behind each of the tracks.

Back with her first new music since the release of the enigmatic Panic/Desire last year, today we have the absolute pleasure of sharing a first look at ‘Grateful For The Heartache’ from loved Melbourne artist/producer Simona Castricum, a dose of her enthralling electronica that serves as a stunning tribute to her late friend and collaborator Daphne Camf.

For the past decade around Naarm, you would have recognised Thomas Watson for his fervent guitar slinging with acts like Sheriff and Jumping Jack William, but today he has blessed us with the first glimpse into his newly minted Watty Thompson project – and what a beauty to behold it is.

Ahead of its release on Wednesday via Sunset Pig, today we’ve been treated to an early listen of Sydney alt-rocker Angeles’ new single ‘Plastic’, an expansive post-punk blitz that catches the project’s shapeshifting sound at its sharpest and most captivating.

Following the release of Snowy Band’s new LP Alternate Endings last week (via Spunk Records and Osborne Again), we sat down with Snowy and asked a few brief questions on records in his life.

Following a string of teaser tracks released over the past couple of years, today we’ve got the pleasure of sharing a first listen to Stella Farnan’s debut EP Come Stay At Mine in full, a collection of dazzling indie-pop belters that comes loaded with charming hooks and clever production.

Returning today with the third instalment in their International Action Duo series, today we’re thrilled to be premiering ‘Fingerprints’, the latest video from Melbourne grit-pop duo Kino Motel that continues expanding on the band’s ominous visual universe.

Following the announcement earlier this year that Brisbane trio Slumlawwd have signed to rising DIY label Off The List Records, today we have the pleasure of sharing a first look at the riotous new clip for their latest single ‘Withdrawn Failure’, a dose of the band’s relentless garage-punk mayhem.

Today we’re stoked to be premiering the sophomore single of Melbourne blues-punks Matt Bourke and the Delusional Drunks. Titled ‘Stuck Here’, it’s three minutes of barnstorming, fuzzed-out garage rock a la DZ Deathrays or Slaughterhouse-era Ty Segall that’ll make you pine for the return of sweaty live shows.

Back with his first new music since 2018, eccentric Melbourne producer Dr. Chicken Gristle has returned with Floating as a Lifeless Vessel Suspended in the Air, a five-track collection of glitchy electronica and freaked-out breakbeat, out today through Stargazed Records.
