A platform for arts, music, design and gags, both upcoming and established, from Melbourne and beyond, quality and community above all else.
Today we’ve got the pleasure of premiering the sophomore album from psychedelic powerhouse Tug – full to the brim with left-of-centre garage-pysch paired with moments of imaginative prog-rock and tender 70s-eqsue balladry, To Burn Oneself is a exhilarating re-immersion into Tug’s shapeshifting sonic world.
A good six months on from its initial release, we’ve finally had the chance to dig into Cayn Borthwick’s latest release Big City Remixes, as the four guest producers who feature on the EP talk us through the extremes needed to take Cayn’s warped dance-pop to the next level.
Alongside the news that his debut EP First Glance is on the way, Palm Beach-based songwriter Mirror Mirror has returned with ‘Stay Around’, another dose of his evocative retro-pop goodness.
Off the back of the release of her vibrant new single ‘That’s Your Problem’ last week, neo-soul powerhouse Abbey Rose has returned today with a brand new clip that takes the track’s themes of self-assurance to the next level with its playful and mystical edge.
Following on from the release of his debut single last year, Maxwell Brady has shared an evocative new clip with us today for ‘Faces In The Flowers’, a majestic visual journey that pairs perfectly with the tune’s lilting instrumentation and unassuming charm.
Some new favourites from the past week or so. Featuring CLAMM, Eggy, Classic, 100% and Display Homes.
Alongside the release of their brand new single ‘Alone’ today, we caught up with siblings Harry and Bella Watson, the brains behind local fuzz-rock duo Bellhop, to dig into their latest blast of frenetic and noisy punk.
Back with his first new music since 2019, Fenn is cool (aka the bedroom-pop project of Sydney musician Fenn Idle) has returned with ‘If I Didn’t Have You’, a dose of his signature oddball-pop that ticks all the right boxes thanks to its wide-eyed warmth and joyous charisma.
Today we have the pleasure of sharing the debut single from emerging dream-pop duo Elliott Moon – hypnotic and all encompassing, ‘I Don’t Think I Can Leave Without You’ plays as an evocative entry point into the ethereal world of the new project.
Our friends at Johnston St have brought Wollongong garage-punk powerhouse Private Wives down to Melbourne for a massive weekend of shows, and to properly introduce them to the local crowd, Jack Golding has served them with some hard hitting questions.
To celebrate his life of Nathan Ashworth and the music he loved, Rack Off Records and Nath’s wife Bella Kranjec are presenting NO EXCUSES in his honour; a massive arvo/evening show at the Thornbury Bowls Club this Sunday, featuring some of Melbourne’s best underground bands with all funds going to the Cure Brain Cancer foundation.
Alongside the news that his forthcoming second album Dispeller is set to be released this July, today we have the pleasure of sharing a first look at the equally unsettling and disarming new single ‘Hovering at Home’ from New Zealand outsider artist Ben Woods.
