A platform for arts, music, design and gags, both upcoming and established, from Melbourne and beyond, quality and community above all else.
Following the release of their debut album last week through Heavy Machinery Records in Australia and Upset The Rhythm in the UK, we caught up with Melbourne post-punk group screensaver to dig into the unnerved and disorientating tracks that make up Expression of Interest.
Fasten your seatbelts, local garage-punk group Snake Valley have returned to deliver us the goods today, with the release of their hyperactive and hard-edged new single ‘Fibre To The Brain’.
Rigid yet lucid in groove, Carpet Burn released their debut EP I Can’t Believe It’s Not Carpet Burn in June via Spoilsport Records. We caught up with co-writer and keys player Kayley Langdon to find out about some records that have accompanied her throughout her life.
Greeting us into spring, last month Melbourne indie-folk band Grand Pine release their tantalising debut album Hold Me Down. Upon the new release, we caught up with the band to get a closer look into the songs that make up their new album.
Today we have the pleasure of premiering the debut single and video clip from Beans The Band, the hazy new project of Melbourne musician Max Stanley – on ‘Delone’, we’re taken on an enthralling journey through evocative art-folk, paired with an imaginative clip that adds another layer of warped poignancy to the track’s immersive themes.
Twelve months on from the release of her debut single, today we have the pleasure of sharing a sneak peak at Gimmy Flowens’ new track ‘Don’t Be Afraid’, her debut release through Third Eye Stimuli that finds the Northern Rivers artist serving up a gloriously technicolour reimagining of her previous sound.
Following its release last month through Broken Stone Records, we caught up with Sydney garage-pop gang Imperial Broads to get the lowdown on the stories that make up their thrillingly raucous new album Counterpart.
Picking up right where their sprawling 2019 self-titled debut left off, Black Bats cruise through all out garage-psych assaults and roaring power chords on their long-awaited sophomore effort Psychic Retreat. To help dig deeper, the Melbourne psych-rockers guide us through the tripped-out soundscapes track by track.
In making an undeniable impact on punk and its weirder sub-genres, Anti Fade could arguably be the most prolific label in Australia. Since starting in 2012, Billy Gardner has seen the likes of ORB, Parsnip, CIVIC, Bananagun, Vintage Crop, Primo!, UV Race, and even more released through his now Melbourne-based label. From the allure of 60’s garage to finding Metallica, Billy filled us in on a few choice cuts from his life.
Following the release of ‘Tracy Hill’ last month through rising SA label Swirl Records, we got in touch with idiosyncratic Adelaidian noisemaker Jackulson to dive into the influences that lie behind his latest blast of shapeshifting art-pop.
Ahead of its official release tomorrow, we’ve been treated to an early listen of A Country Practice’s debut album I will leave this town while there’s still a light, a collection of the Meanjin trio’s “digitally-deconstructed folk” that’s as warped and imaginative as it is bizarrely captivating.
We’re thrilled today to be able to premiere Revolutions, the debut EP from Cadigal-Wangal based singer-songwriter Iain T. McKelvey – nineteen minutes of heart-on-sleeve folk that you can sink into like a bath.
