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 Innocent Times: Eight Poems to Music from 2019 last month, Sydney rapper Bistro has shared a new clip for ‘A Day at the Races’, an album highlight that is both a disorientating dose of his experimental hip-hop and a scathing critique of Australia’s racing culture.
Before he drops Songs To Track Down To later this month, rock ’n’ roll workhorse Joe Terror has shared ‘Release the Fiends’ with us, another dose of his garage-soul goodness that manages to strip back his signature sound without losing its eccentric edge.
Mimi Gilbert’s cunning new single ‘Society’s a Mansion’ is a beautifully comforting ode to appreciating the little things, remaining curious and not obsessing over society’s standards of success.
Following the release of 2019’s ‘Dog Bite’, Melbourne singer-songwriter Stella Bridie has returned today with ‘My Girl’, an emotional slowburn fit for the love-addled onlooker.
Today we have the utmost pleasure of premiering the debut single from Melbourne-based group Eileen Grace – ‘Rage and Wine’ is an unrelenting dose of dynamic alt-rock, that lulls us into a false sense of security to bowl us over with its powerful energy and striking emotion.
Picking up where their EP You’re Doing Something Right Though left off last year, indie-pop enthusiasts The Fainters are back with the enjoyable and jangling single ‘Guide Me To Beauty’.
On their debut EP, SheOak have crafted a collection of entrancing and ambitious psychedelic-folk that cathartically develops through lead singer Xadi Walsh’s journey of acceptance and growth from loss and pain.
Today we have the pleasure of premiering the stunningly intimate music video for indie/RnB artist Marigolden’s new single ‘Taking It Back’, which takes the track’s shimmering grooves and transports them to the picturesque landscape of her hometown of Hobart.
Off the back of the release of her eagerly-awaited debut EP earlier this month, psych-pop luminary Poppongene has invited us into the dreamy world of Futures Unsure and taken us through it track by track.
Melbourne’s premier mid-fi indie rock quartet RAT!hammock have done it again with new single ‘Word Of The Day’ – another slacker-rock anthem that’d charm the socks off even your sternest of mates.
In late 2009, Philadelphia Grand Jury were at the top of their game, fresh off the release of a debut album that cemented themselves as one of Sydney’s most exciting bands. Simultaneously, the venue that afforded them a foot in the door at the very beginning – Sydney’s Hopetoun Hotel – abruptly closed up shop.
It’s no secret that the arts and music community has been one of the hardest hit by the devastation of coronavirus. As the world shut down, venues closed up and gigs were off. But for many of Melbourne’s musos, it wasn’t just gigs that were done for – so was pub footy.
