Live Review: The Beths – O2 Forum Kentish Town, London 04.04.2022
After being cooped up in Auckland for a couple of years it’s appropriate that The Beths give us a lesson in ornithology halfway through this gig. Keen to promote the less flamboyant fauna of their native New Zealand we hear all about the alpine parrot and how it should really be more loved. Bit like …
Live: Hope D at The Factory, Sydney 08/04/2022 – Giving Us Hope
Hope D brings her optimistic brand of indie pop to Sydney.
Premiere: Berlin-based new wave synth queen Novaa releases the breezy alt pop of ‘School Friends’.
We are very pleased to premiere the new track ‘School Friends’ from Berlin based alt pop chanteuse Novaa. ‘School Friends’ has a sparse melodic beat with wry observational lyrics that are louche and laid back, capturing the social anxieties of interaction with peers. Novaa has captured a sense of vulnerability in her expression, wrapped up …

Track: Sydney’s Loose Fit unleash ‘Stupid Drama’: a visceral piece of mosh pit slam dance joy.
Angular, visceral jaunty pop punks Loose Fit are whipping up a deeply pleasurable storm again with their new single ‘Stupid Drama’. This is a band that defies description, but given it’s my job to do just that, just think something wild and excessive that throws an element of funk into a raw febrile earthy mix, …

Track: Hobart’s The Tinderboxers’ new track ‘Who Are You’ is a cool and jaunty sonic whirlpool from the deep south. Plus tour news.
There’s a fairground whirl to the new track ‘Who Are You’ from the youthful The Tinderboxers, straight out of Hobart, which canters along at a jaunty pace with its Hammond organ/leslie speaker whirl and unbridled exuberance. This is classically formed indie pop fare with a beating heart, relatively raw, charmingly earnest but bristling with vibrancy, …
Warmduscher // Manchester Academy 3 // 6th April 2022
Having already been to one amazing gig this week, I really wasn’t prepared to be blown away for a second time in three days. Whilst Killing Joke had already set the bar pretty high, at Albert Hall 2 days earlier, Warmduscher picked it up, span it around and covered it in honey, before licking the …
