Following the release of ‘No Fun Intended’ in March, we got in touch with local noisemakers Picket Palace to take a glimpse into what inspired the latest blast of their infectious garage-punk mayhem.

Premiere:
Bollard – Ziggurat
Melbourne punks Bollard are coming in hot today with a brand new single – a terse yet frenetically cool track that only momentarily explodes with energy, ‘Ziggurat’ will make you want to put on your sunglasses and leather jacket, even if you’re stuck at home.

Talking Influences with KIT
Swapping the folk stylings of All Our Exes Live In Texas for driving indie rock, KIT’s debut single ‘Good Guy’ showcases her creativity, genre-crossing talent, and uncrushable spirit – even in the face of a COVID-19 world.
Premiere:
Suneden – Sapana Ko Samaya
Without sounding too much like a Buzzfeed writer, Nepalese/Melbourne duo Suneden have just dropped a thirteen minute long sitar-laden dream-funk odyssey and it’s exactly what my isolation needed right now.
Premiere:
The Crane District – Thailand
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the debut single from emerging pop songsmith The Crane District – ‘Thailand’ is a dose of charmingly laid-back indie-rock that manages to effortlessly transport us to a sunnier place and a simpler time.
Video Premiere:
Soft Rubbish – Hsibbur Tfos
As they prepare to launch their experimental, symmetrical debut album Millennial Pink, post-punk outfit Soft Rubbish have shared with us a beautifully ethereal, isolation-born clip for their warped new single ‘Hsibbur Tfos’.

Track by Track:
Secret Towns – Maps
Following the release of their debut album earlier this year, Castlemaine natives Secret Towns have taken us on a journey through Maps, a collection of salt-of-the-earth rock ’n’ roll that isn’t afraid to embrace the starker edges of their jangle-pop sound.
Video Premiere:
Giantess – Gone Gone Golden
Ahead of the release of their debut album Big Woman next month, Wellington psych duo Giantess have shared another taste – ‘Gone Gone Golden’ is a hypnotic blend of dark dream-pop and immersive psychedelia, with a brand new clip that heightens the track’s uncanny atmosphere.
