Seeing Ball Park Music feels like running into the oldest of friends, no awkward catch-up, just straight back into the rhythm. Timing still perfect.

Live Review & Gallery: Ichiko Aoba Brings Stillness to Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House – Eora Nation, 29.05.25
It simply felt like a dream. That’s the only real way to describe Ichiko Aoba’s performance at the Sydney Opera House for VIVID LIVE. In the middle of a festival that thrives on sensory overload, Aoba offered us something slower and beautifully detached from the teeming cityscape outside. The Japanese artist had transformed the theatre …

Track & Video: DIIV Confront Hope and Loss Amidst Californian Wildfire Aftermath With New Release ‘Return of Youth’ + UK/EU/AUS Tour Dates
A year after ‘Frog in Boiling Water‘, DIIV return with their first new release – ‘Return of Youth‘, a quietly devastating single that trades widescreen collapse for something far more personal. Unsurprisingly, the track is a masterclass in shoegaze’s more delicate corners: layered, intimate, and full of restraint. It’s a noticeable shift from the chaos …
Live Review & Gallery: LANDMVRKS Get Loud and Stay Loud at Metro Theatre For Their Australian Debut – Eora Land/Sydney, 10.05.25
French metalcore outfit LANDMVRKS didn’t need to bother with dramatics when they hit the stage at the sold-out Metro Theatre over the weekend.

News & Track: Fool Nelson Refuse to Slow Down, New Track and Upcoming Skeggs Support Slot
After selling out their first national headline tour and packing out rooms across the country, Fool Nelson could’ve coasted for a minute. Instead, they dropped ‘Bad Dreams’ – another strong cut in a catalogue that’s quietly becoming one of the most reliable in Australian indie rock.

Live Gallery: ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’, The Sex Pistols are in Australia Performing With Frank Carter – Hordern Pavilion, Eora Nation/Sydney 08.04.25
It’s wild, really – the Sex Pistols only ever released one official studio album. Just one. But what a detonation it was. Nearly fifty years later, the blast radius is still visible – even across the globe at Hordern Pavilion this week. They came out swinging – ‘Holidays in the Sun’, ‘Seventeen’, ‘New York’ – …
Live Review & Gallery: Australia’s Introduction to The Murder Capital Was Bigger Than You Could Imagine – Crowbar, Eora Nation/Sydney 05.04.25
The past few months have brought a hefty flood of alt and punk-rock acts streaming in from the Northern Hemisphere. IDLES came through. So did Soft Play and Fat White Family. We watched Shame’s frontman jump off a 10-foot-high speaker a few weeks ago and Kneecap reemerge the decapitated head of King George V in …

The Jungle Giants are back and their sold-out stop at Eora Nation/Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Friday night was exactly like a full-blown, sweat-drenched, sun-soaked day festival condensed into a few hours – minus the overpriced bottles of water. The Meanjin/Brisbane indie-pop heavyweights are midway through their Hold My Hand tour, and they didn’t waste a …
