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 second album Unconscious Drivers last Friday, we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the new clip from Perth punks Last Quokka – a track that clever balances their usual political commentary with a piss-taking attitude, ‘Wake Up Geoff’ is a blast of frantic garage-punk with a new clip that’s just as much fun.
Following the release of Black Snake Whip’s debut EP last month, we caught up with the genre-bending powerhouse to dig into the psych/funk/prog odyssey that is 2000s.
Ghost in the Sheet is an enigma, a musical spectre. Their new single ‘A Life of Constant and Nauseating Guilt’ is also the first thing to be released under the pseudonym; a striking debut to mark the beginning of an elusive creative endeavour.
An enthralling side-step from her work in other local projects, Amy Dowd’s debut single as Bumpy is a delicate exploration of vulnerability and the strength that comes with it, mirrored by the track’s lingering instrumentation that allows plenty of breathing room for Amy’s stunning vocals to truly shine.
Today we’ve got the absolute pleasure of sharing an early listen to All Manner Of Manors, the debut album from weirdo-pop ensemble Ghost Bumps – whimsical, unpredictable and completely addictive, it’s a thrilling introduction into the band’s sprawling sonic world.
Two years on since their last EP, Melbourne surf-punks Sophisticated Dingo are back with How’s The Carry On!?, a familiar blast of their high-octane garage sound that’s energised by an omnipresent musical expansion. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Lew Matte to get the run down on how the EP came together.
Following the whimsical inquiry into teen love and self-discovery of his debut EP, Maseta’s intricately-crafted Perfect Weather EP further embellishes the Melbourne-based Indonesian singer-songwriter’s folk-pop sound with tenderness and sincerity.
Today we have the absolute pleasure of announcing the forthcoming debut album from emerging garage-punk duo Ecosystem – There and Back Again is set to drop on October 9th through Tiny Town Records, and in the meantime, we’ve been treated to a taste with the eccentric and sprawling ‘No Idea’.
After a short break, indie-rock brothers Mother Culture are officially back tomorrow with their first new music in over a year – with its dirty guitars and pumping rhythm, ‘Something’s In The Water It Seems’ is a commanding return that’ll definitely stick with you.
Ahead of its official release tomorrow, we’ve been treated to a sneak preview of Le Fleur’s new single ‘Strange Moonlight’ – a dazzling future-funk hit that doubles as an examination of systemic racism in Australia, its enthusiastic grooves and upbeat tempo making the track’s powerful message all the more rousing.
Today we’re thrilled to be premiering the new EP from Perth duo Segue, ahead of its official release this Friday. On I Get It,, the pair have crafted a collection of dazzling synth-pop, blending minimal electronics and art-pop sensibilities with a glorious 80’s sheen.
On her debut solo EP Spells, Elmo Aoyama leaves the sunny jangles of Big White behind, in favour of cool synths and bold electronic production. To celebrate its release today, we had Elmo walk us through the EP track by track.
