Today we have the immense pleasure of premiering the new music video for Ochre Trash’s ‘Home (Is Where The Couch Is)’, a haunting examination of the cycle of change and loss, played out through a lone, tinsel-laden being.

SERF –
All You Need In Life Is Someone To Love And Your Family

Here’s To Fun –
A chat with The Faculty
After years rising through the Melbourne underground and up onto the Meredith stage with nothing but a seven minute cassette to their name, The Faculty have finally revealed Here’s To Fun and it’s a corker – undoubtedly original and undoubtedly The Faculty in its twisted glory.
Premiere:
Plastic – Baby Steps
Today we have the absolute pleasure of announcing the release of the forthcoming debut album from local noise-pop weirdos Plastic – New Hands is due out on September 29th via Spoilsport Records, and to tie us over until the album drops, they’ve shared another teaser with the thrillingly corrosive ‘Baby Steps’.

They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with
The Grogans
Returning this week with their first track of 2020, Melbourne surf-rock trio The Grogans have unleashed ‘Dead Weight’ – a stifling twist on last year’s Just What You Want, the track leads with howling vocals against a backdrop of pummelling drums and fiery guitar.
Video Premiere:
Matt Parlane – Tori
Today we’re thrilled to be premiering the debut single from local rock ’n’ roll mainstay Matt Parlane – ‘Tori’ is a dose of rough-around-the-edges indie-rock with a brand new clip that wrangles Matt’s humble charisma and ragtag loopiness into a few minutes of gleaming pop.
Track by Track:
The Buoys –
All This Talking Gets Us Nowhere
Sydney punks The Buoys take us through the six tracks from their ferocious new EP All This Talking Gets Us Nowhere, tackling everything from misogyny, toxic workplaces and bad jokes to the tune of blistering guitars and frenzied garage-pop charm.

208L Containers – Horseland

Bistro – A Day at the Races
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.
Premiere:
Joe Terror – Release The Fiend
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.
