A platform for arts, music, design and gags, both upcoming and established, from Melbourne and beyond, quality and community above all else.
Today we have the great pleasure of premiering the debut solo offering from local busy-bee Winter McQuinn – ‘Agent Apple Orange’ finds the Sunfruits frontman leaning into his usual vintage pop sound, with an extra dose of ramshackle folk-rocker spirit and glorious lo-fi charm.
Introducing The Gas, the monthly zine from local artist Nibson Mother that features some of the Melbourne’s wildest creatives and comes bursting with life and colour, packed with secrets hidden on every page.
Following the release of Big Grass, the fourth album of psych-folk from the prolific Family Jordan, we got in touch with the Jordan behind the Family to take us through each track and how the album came to life.
Alongside their album launch livestream that went live last night on Twitch, today we’ve got the pleasure of taking a first look at Hollywood Real Thoughts’ disorientating second album Hydra – a mix of turbulent soundscapes, evocative ambience and murky electronica that ties together into a surrealist 40 minute listening trip.
With the release of their long-awaited debut album Glory today, Melbourne’s Dexy Oscillator share a collection of striking garage rock and post-punk that’s as restless as it is thoughtful.
Off the back of the release of Alfresco last week, we got in touch with Ben Mackie and Chris Stephenson from Spiritual Mafia and had the pair pick apart each moment of chaos on their sprawling debut album.
Following the release of their fiery new EP, we had Kate ‘Babyshakes’ Dillon – the mastermind behind Full Flower Moon Band – talk us through each thrilling moment on Death Or Hell.
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering two doses of raucous pub-punk from rising Ballarat crew The Dawdlers, ahead of their launch party tonight at The Eastern.
After losing gear, income and irreplaceable recordings during a home invasion and car theft, Melbourne artists Ella Clair and Bailey Judd have created new hope amidst the tribulation, in the form of the mini-festival fundraiser Broke & Enter, featuring a huge line-up of local talent united in the common support of their fellow artists.
Back with their third single in four months, 98 Camry have returned today with ‘April Wind’, a stirring alt-folk track that puts the project’s usual jangle-pop charm on hold for something a little more uneasy.
Melbourne has new competition for the finest irreverent band name in the city: by interspersing his surname with that most famous of Tex-Mex dinner brands, Jack Parsons (of The Pretty Littles) has become Old El Parso on his first solo endeavour.
Ahead of its official release tomorrow, we’ve been gifted an early listen to David M. Western’s latest dose of enthralling indie-folk – brimming with daydreamer poeticism and a rustic charisma, ‘Take Your Opportunities’ is a glowing second taste of David’s forthcoming debut album.
