Off the back of the release of her debut album late last month, we caught up with local indie-rock mastermind Gena Rose Bruce to find out what inspired the tangle of sounds found on Can’t Make You Love Me.
They Made Me Do It –
Premiere:
Indigo Children – Dream Light
We’re really excited to premiere the debut album from Melbourne-via-Warrnambool psych rockers Indigo Children – flittering between dream-pop and 60’s styled garage, Dream Light is a glorious trip into the band’s woozy dreamworld.
Premiere:
The Velvet Club – Holy Roller
Ahead of its launch at the Catfish in a couple of weeks time, The Velvet Club have just dropped ‘Holy Roller’ – an indie-rock gem that’ll suck you in with its reverb-drenched verses, before blowing you away with one of their signature explosive choruses.
Premiere:
Sledgehammer – Blue Sheila
Sledgehammer’s debut EP Blue Sheila is a blast of surf-infused garage that manages to feel as volatile as it does cruisey, hitting hard with crunchy guitars, lo-fi production and heaps of swagger.
New Friends –
A Chat between Sunfruits and
Noodle House
Two sides of the same gloriously retro coin, Melbourne’s Sunfruits and Sydney’s Noodle House have just announced they will be teaming up to release a split 7” through psychedelic record slingers Third Eye Stimuli.
Track by Track:
Natasha Johanna – Golden Light
Just two days after the release of her debut EP Golden Light, we caught up Melbourne singer-songwriter Natasha Johanna to find out more about her new batch of woozy psych-folk goodness.
Premiere:
Bollard – Beware the atto fox
Melbourne alt-rock group Bollard are back with Beware the atto fox, a collection of sprawling punk crossed with noise-rock, that despite its menacing exterior, brims with emotion and spark.
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with Porpoise Spit
In the midst of their ‘Middle Of The Night’ Tour, Melbourne’s premier rosé-rock quartet Porpoise Spit have found the time to give us a glimpse into what inspired their anthemic new single.
Video Premiere:
Hideous Sun Demon –
Can’t Live Like That
Despite revolving around the pitfalls of living too indulgently, Hideous Sun Demon’s latest single ‘Can’t Live Like That’ is an explosion of frenzied garage-punk that finds the band at their most uncontainable and manic.
Video Premiere:
Swim Team – New Year
Currently gearing up for the release of their debut album Home Time next month, local garage-pop crew Swim Team have shared an extra teaser with an atmospherical clip for their irreverent slowburner ‘New Year’.
Video Premiere:
Picket Palace –
Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti
Local garage madmen Picket Palace are back with ‘Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti’, a blast of raucous garage-punk that gloriously matches the star forward’s explosive style of footy.
Video Premiere:
UFO Go – Monsters (Remix)
To announce their forthcoming remix EP, Melbourne alt-pop group UFO Go are back with ‘Monsters’, a reworking that transforms the original into a blast of unearthly electronica with an equally eerie film clip to match.
