After the release of his debut EP, Friture has walked us through the tracks on Carnet de Synthé, which represent a bricolage of nostalgic French pop and melancholic post-punk sensibilities.
Track by Track:
They Made Me Do It –
Talking Influences with Quivers
Having had a US tour cancelled on the cusp of worldwide COVID lockdowns, it is an exciting prospect for cathartic guitar pop outfit Quivers to be back on tour around Australia, celebrating their latest album Golden Doubt. We got in touch with Quivers to find out the influences behind Golden Doubt.

culaccino – hot milo
Husky vocals and jazzy beats set the mood of culaccino’s new EP hot milo. These six tracks feature a combination of experimental instrumentation that create both a trance-y atmosphere and a dance-worthy rhythm. We caught up with the mastermind behind culaccino, Declan Peel, to get a breakdown of the tracks.
Premiere:
Human Intrusion – Asleep
Formed during last year’s lockdown, self described ‘bush goth’ outfit Human Intrusion have stayed grounded in that reality over their first two releases. On the otherworldly ‘Asleep’ which they’ve just shared today, they’ve created a fresh and exciting blend of new-wave and post-punk that evokes a desolate sound, filled with desire.
Track by Track:
Ooh La La! – “Soft Intervention”
Following the release of “Soft Intervention” earlier this month, we caught up with the mastermind behind Ooh La La! to delve into the ideas and inspiration behind their debut EP – a five track rollercoaster ride through ambient synth work, warped samples and cinematic funk.
Premiere:
Chet Sounds – Bleu/Strawberry Jam
Today we have the pleasure of premiering two new doses of intoxicating psych-pop from rising Sydney songsmith Chet Sounds, giving us another glimpse of the evocative world Chet’s creating on his forthcoming debut album, due out next month through Third Eye Stimuli.
Video Premiere:
Hideous Sun Demon – Gimmicks
Following the release of Development Hell in April, Hideous Sun Demon have returned with a new clip for the EP’s first single ‘Gimmicks’, that slings the band outrageously into the corporate world against the track’s frantic and contagious energy.
Premiere:
Reality Instructors –
Finished In My Head
With their upcoming EP due to be released on the 30th of June, Reality Instructors have gifted us their second and final single release from the forthcoming drop – ‘Finished In My Head’ is a frenetic post-punk blitz that doubles as a powerful insight into vocalist Dan Pash’s experiences with hearing loss.
Track by Track:
Kill Bell –
i don’t think that i have what you want
With the release of their debut album i don’t think that i have what you want last month, garage-punk duo Kill Bell have announced themselves as a band to watch. After two years spent playing around Melbourne, the inner-north rockers narrowed down their maiden LP to a nine track microcosm of quintessential punk sound with an experimental adorning.
Video Premiere:
Cynthia – Dead Eyes
Following on from the release of their latest single ‘Dead Eyes’, rising synth-pop duo Cynthia have returned today to build on the immersive world they’re creating, with an evocative visual accompaniment that elevates the track’s turbulent grooves and sinister atmosphere into something all the more unnerving.
Track by Track –
Glauber Who? –
A Night Out With G Man
A compilation of songs old and new, Glauber Who?’s new album A Night Out with G Man is a warm yet melancholic dose of blues. We caught up with the man himself to get the stories behind the tracks.
Track by Track:
Full Power Happy Hour –
Full Power Happy Hour
Released back in March, Full Power Happy Hour’s debut is an evocative introduction to their brand of heartfelt alt-country. After completing a tour of the East Coast earlier this year, the five-piece band have upcoming shows in their hometown of Meanjin/Brisbane, and in the lead-up singer-songwriter Alex Campbell has kindly provided us with an insight into the stories that make up the group’s self-titled album.
