News: The iconic Lloyd Cole announces Australian tour to support new album ‘On Pain’ and regale us with some old favourites.

Arun Kendall November 24, 2023

I so wanted to be Lloyd Cole when the album ‘Rattlesnakes’ came out…literate, sensitive and easy on the eye with a stunning songwriting ability and all at such a tender age. Many qualities I felt lacked. He was, and remains, a writer of inordinately intelligent pop of the highest order, combining sardonic observations on life …

EP Review: ‘Breathe In…Breathe Out’ is timely dream pop advice from the amazing Sunsick Daisy.

Arun Kendall November 24, 2023

The Breakdown It’s an EP of two halves – the first three tracks are subtle gentle dream pop before the shackles are thrown off and the band veers into a harder shoegaze territory.

Track: It’s ‘Prime Time’ for The Nature Strip – another blast of powerful effervescent pop.

Track: It may be the ‘Same Old Day’ but it’s another joyous release from Wilding.

Arun Kendall November 24, 2023

The sun always shines brighter the day Naarm/Melbourne popster Wilding releases another one of his sparkling sonic jewels. This time it is ‘Same Old Day’ – another dappling ray of aural sunshine with a slightly wonky ramble and Justin Wilding Stokes’s sardonic and wry delivery. There is detectable a slight fairground, carnival lilt, redolent perhaps …

Arun Kendall November 23, 2023

With Simon Bonney at the helm since it formed in Australia in 1977, the stateless Crime and the City Solution have been haunting and mesmerising audiences with their ethereal, dark gothic flavoured music ever since. Forever intertwined and associated with the vibrant Sydney and Melbourne scene in the late seventies and early eighties, with band …
