Man, if you think back to the early (glory) days of Australia’s indie scene, the names of semi-successful bands flood into my mind and take me to back to the…

There’s something oddly familiar about Grapetooth. When listening to ‘Blood’, the most recent single from the Chicago two-piece’s debut Self-Titled LP, you’re hit with hazy nostalgia. It might have to…

First off, I just want to say sorry. I’m sorry for a lot of things, and I mean, we’re all sorry in some way or another. I’m sorry that when…

Since Mall Grab dropped his striking 2017 Pool Party Music EP, I’ve been hunting down producers creating upbeat, sun-soaked house like a dog on heat. Through this search, Belgium producer…

In 2016, Theophilus London took to Twitter to tease a collaboration with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. The teasing hasn’t stopped since, and only a couple of weeks ago, the pair performed…

Last week, Golden Plains dropped the line-up for their 13th edition. Among a stacked bill featuring electronic wiz Four Tet, sexy song-makers The Internet and Pills ‘n’ Thrills slingers Happy…

I was always pretty happy with Souls of Mischief’s track ’93 Till Infinity’ as a song that repped my year of birth. Thanks to Sydney outfit Johnny Hunter the younger…

Every so often, even the most self-involved, conceited, snobbish of music writers (me) needs a fun song to enter their life. You don’t need to constantly be searching for the…

Hmmm, naming your debut track ‘get low’ certainly makes me think I’m getting a 2018 version of the cult classic ‘Get Low’ by Lil’ Jon and the Eastside Boyz. I…

As one of Australia’s finest songwriters, we’ve become accustomed to Thomas Rawle dropping raw emotional pieces for years, but as DRELLER it’s safe to say he’s upped the ante in…

I may have already said this about seven different artists this year, but Westerman has to be the artist you watch this year. There is no one better (probably, see me in…

In what has to be the strangest colabs of the year so far, noise-rock legends HEALTH have teamed up with new lo-fi guitar legend Soccer Mommy for ‘MASS GRAVE’. To be…

NZ gets a hard time out there, but NOT HERE AT I OH YOU. I think we’ve covered NZ based artists like at least three times now. See we got you, NZ….

If you are familiar with my writing, you know I’m not against the occasional pop jam, especially when it’s laced with PC Music-esque production. So, this new one from Banoffee…

“Oh god, he’s gone and truly done it this time.” I’ve broken the one rule of writing about music. I’ve chosen to cover a track that is not a single. Yep, this…

I’m 100% the kind of person that refuses to get into artists when they have huge buzz around them (so prepare for me to not pay attention to anything that…

It was looking likely that everyone’s favourite pop angel, Empress Of, would be back with something this year, so it’s very rewarding to know that Lorely Rodriguez has announced her sophomore…

There’s so much to like in ‘Someone Loves You’, the second single from Melbourne newcomer, Comedown Party. And each time I sit down to listen to the track (yeah, I…

Have you ever wondered to yourself: “where have the 90s gone? I feel like it’s really not the 90s anymore.” Well, I’m here to give you some damn good news! Your…

I’ve been on the Portie Bus for a while now, and as it starts its decent towards its latest stop, Everything In Quotes “LIGHT”, I am raring to get off…

I love a good artist rebrand, and I really think that the new work from Christine and the Queens (or should I just say, Chris) is a part very very good…

Ross From Friends has dropped the second taste of this debut full length and boy it’s a real beauty. ‘Pale Blue Dot’ is a subtle production, laced with bubbling percussion…

It turns out that Terrible Records have a real habit of releasing music that is seriously not terrible, like at all. I mean, they have a red hot go at…

Westerman seems to remind me of a lot of different artists all at once, but I also can’t really put my finger on any of them. What I do know…

Well, you look like someone who would enjoy one hell of an abrasive ride of a track! Why don’t you sit down, throw on some high quality headphones and tune…

I shouldn’t play favourites I know, but after letting Charli XCX’s latest two-track release rest for a few days, I am struggling to switch over from ‘Focus’ to ‘No Angel’…

A little over a week ago, Melbourne artist Will Fletcher released his debut single ‘Cable Car’ under the name, Murmurmur and let’s not beat around the bush here – it’s…

Ever since La Roux fell off the face of the earth and M83’s last album was a pile of flaming garbage (don’t @ me), I thought that your straight up…
