In this time of isolation and uncertainty, some of our favourite Australian musicians and record labels have come together to release Stay Inside, an ode to the collectiveness of our music community.

Video Premiere:
The Dull Joys –
Somewhere, I Don’t Know
In something of a disconcerting move for fans, Melbourne art-punks The Dull Joys have shared a new clip for an old track today, which reimagines the dark and moody atmosphere of ‘Somewhere, I Don’t Know’ with its distorted sense of reality and opaque, vintage aesthetic.
Feral – A Chat With RVG
After a lengthy wait, beloved Melbourne rockers RVG are back with their much-anticipated second album – following on from their critically acclaimed debut A Quality Of Mercy, Feral confirms them as one of Australia’s greatest modern bands.

Talking Influences with KIT
Swapping the folk stylings of All Our Exes Live In Texas for driving indie rock, KIT’s debut single ‘Good Guy’ showcases her creativity, genre-crossing talent, and uncrushable spirit – even in the face of a COVID-19 world.
Premiere:
Suneden – Sapana Ko Samaya
Without sounding too much like a Buzzfeed writer, Nepalese/Melbourne duo Suneden have just dropped a thirteen minute long sitar-laden dream-funk odyssey and it’s exactly what my isolation needed right now.
Premiere:
The Crane District – Thailand
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the debut single from emerging pop songsmith The Crane District – ‘Thailand’ is a dose of charmingly laid-back indie-rock that manages to effortlessly transport us to a sunnier place and a simpler time.
Speed Dating:
Alex Mraz, ALLIPHA, Marigolden
and Baby Shower
New love has certainly been put on hold in recent times, with musicians and listeners alike confined to their homes, separated from their heart’s desire. We at Trouble Juice wanted to do our part to reignite a little romance in the air, so we’ve reignited an old segment.
Video Premiere:
Soft Rubbish – Hsibbur Tfos
As they prepare to launch their experimental, symmetrical debut album Millennial Pink, post-punk outfit Soft Rubbish have shared with us a beautifully ethereal, isolation-born clip for their warped new single ‘Hsibbur Tfos’.
Track by Track:
Tanaya Harper – Slow Motion Breakup
Indie-rock queen Tanaya Harper has treated us to an inside look into her dark and stormy EP Slow Motion Breakup, an enthralling collection of tracks about an all-too-familiar heartache.
Video Premiere:
Honeybone – Stratosphere
Flaunting their psychedelic side in this fuzz-drenched trip, Melbourne garage-rock trio Honeybone are back in 2020 with ‘Stratosphere’ – a blistering first taste of their forthcoming album.
Track by Track:
Secret Towns – Maps
Following the release of their debut album earlier this year, Castlemaine natives Secret Towns have taken us on a journey through Maps, a collection of salt-of-the-earth rock ’n’ roll that isn’t afraid to embrace the starker edges of their jangle-pop sound.
Video Premiere:
Giantess – Gone Gone Golden
Ahead of the release of their debut album Big Woman next month, Wellington psych duo Giantess have shared another taste – ‘Gone Gone Golden’ is a hypnotic blend of dark dream-pop and immersive psychedelia, with a brand new clip that heightens the track’s uncanny atmosphere.
