Track: Full Power Happy Hour’s ‘Measurements’ takes a walk on the wild west side ahead of new album and tour.
Brisbane’s effervescent Full Power Happy Hour have stored their Doc Martens in a shoebox, pulled on a pair of cowboy boots matched with a checked shirt and boot-scooted their way into our ears with the country-tinged twang of ‘Measurements’, their new single. And, for me, it’s the good sort of countrified swing epitomised by the …

On the eve of the release of their new album ‘Partly Cloudy’, out via Spunk! Records / Virgin Music Australia on 2 September 2022, the irrepressible FLOWERTUCK have dropped one more tasty morsel for our delectation in the single ‘Hopeless’.

Feature: Perth’s Sky Cave releases a visceral and emotive single and video for the anthemic track ‘Fall’, and take us through the blooming Perth music scene.
The video for Perth rockers Sky Cave‘s single ‘Fall’ is, to make no bones about it, confronting. Dealing with the sensitive issue of mental health challenges, it has, however, an important message about resilience and strength that is empowering and euphoric as the track itself: promoting positivity and compassion in an era that seems often …

Track: Eighties powerhouse Noiseworks return after 30 years with the anthemic and dynamic single ‘Heart And Soul’, and all is well with the world. A tour and album will follow.
Noiseworks are a cultural pop rock Australian phenomena and emblematic of a particular home-grown and enigmatic stadium rock in the eighties – even us indie kids respected the fact that Noisework produced the most magnificent power rock anthems of the era, with an indelible ear for melody and a thunderous guitar attack and dynamism that …
Track: Cool Sounds funk it up with ‘6 or 7 More’: a shimmering disco inflected indie pop masterpiece that floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Plus album news.
‘6 or 7 More’ by Cool Sounds is a blinding piece of jazzed up funk with a bass line so snaky it furrows deep into your mind and throws a party. A psychedelic one with many chemical additives. This is one of the most innovative and exciting tracks I’ve heard in a long time – …

A paean to the mutability of life delivered in a saucerful of whimsy, the new single ‘Socialite’ by Melbourne-based artist Mayzie is a dreamy ride filled with an inherent melancholic fugue and an air of delicate vulnerability. Deep within its genes is the C86 era of fey and wishful sounds with an antipodean sheen that …
