A month on from its release, playful-punk savants Parsnip walk us through the Adding Up EP, their latest collection of jolty earworms.

Pleasure and Necessity –
A chat with Tam Vantage
For the past three weeks, local lo-fi pop mastermind Tam Vantage has been releasing collections of his extensive home demos to Bandcamp. Ahead of the release of his fourth and final demo album tomorrow, we had a chat with Tam to dig into his 10+ years of music-making.
Track by Track:
Adam Gibson –
The Songs of Adam Gibson
To celebrate the release of The Songs of Adam Gibson, a new compilation from Coolin’ By Sound that memorialises the work of one of Australia’s finest, yet most under-appreciated songwriters, we had the Sydney wordsmith walk us through the album and reflect on each highlight from his sprawling 20+ year history.
Premiere:
Sarah Mary Chadwick –
Sit Down and Pour
Chapter Music have just announced Midnight Meditations, a masterful collection of contemplative, late-night downbeat and ambient sounds to guide us through our introspective battlefields. Before the compilation fully drops this Friday, we’ve been given a listen to Melbourne-via-Wellington megastar Sarah Mary Chadwick’s offering, the visceral and enthralling ‘Sit Down and Pour’.
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with
RAAVE TAPES
Off the back of the release of their explosive single ‘Red Flag’ earlier this year, we got in touch with Newcastle dance-rockers RAAVE TAPES to find out what inspired the latest blast of their electronically charged punk.
Premiere:
The Slingers – Satin Coffin
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the brand new EP from Melbourne rock ’n’ roll group The Slingers – a sudden gear shift, Satin Coffin has the band heading back to their roots with humble instrumentation and folky charm.
Track by Track:
Bananagun –
The True Story of Bananagun
Akin to a warm hug, Bananagun’s debut album The True Story of Banangun is a record that screams with relaxed mindfulness; a soul-searcher laden with afrobeat precision. A few days on from its release, bandleader Nick Van Bakel has carried us downstream and provided his insights on the album track by track.
Video Premiere:
Astronaughty – Changing Hands
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the debut single and clip from emerging party-starters Astronaughty – ‘Changing Hands’ is a futuristic indie-rock belter that’ll transport you out of wintery Melbourne and get you in the mood for a boogie in the sun.
Premiere:
Moth – Jealousy
Ahead of the release of their debut 7” EP next Friday via Marthouse Records, emerging weirdos Moth have treated us to a sneak preview of ‘Jealousy’, another cut of their haphazard noise-punk.
Video Premiere:
Scurvylicious – Wiser
Alt-country turned rock ’n’ roll locals Scurvylicious have kicked things up a notch with their latest single ‘Wiser’ – a dreamy pre-summer anthem guaranteed to send you into a head nodding, foot tapping trance before you even clock what’s happening.
Premiere:
Agency – Long Gone
Canberra quartet Agency come roaring back with their first new music since 2016, a gnashing post-punk bruiser that’s equally anthemic and agitated.
Track by Track:
Dr. Chicken Gristle –
Experimental Pornography
Following the reissue of his album Experimental Pornography last month via Stargazed Records, experimental-pop weirdo Dr. Chicken Gristle is taking to the internet this weekend to celebrate with a special livestream performance. Ahead of tomorrow’s proceedings, we got in touch with the Doc to dig into each track on his bizarre debut album.
