The Point - In Focus

Heavy alt/emo rock queens, The Beautiful Monument make a strong return with a searing and deeply personal new single, ‘Dancing with the Buried’, which is out now via Greyscale Records.

One of Australia’s best alt rock/emo heavyweights, Perth’s beloved Sly Withers have returned with a powerful new single in ‘Make My Mind Up’ - a stirring reflection on indecision, growth, and the push to keep moving forward when life feels stuck.

Melbourne’s explosive heavy alternative rock outfit, Bad Juju bring together a healthy and chunky amalgamation of tracks in their heaviest collection yet on their new EP, ‘Simulacra’, which is out now (including vinyl issues available via Thirty Two Records).
 


Adelaide’s Purée have returned with another glorious indie rock gem in ‘Someone You’d Like’, which sees the band in their finest form yet, with the upbeat release combining punchy riffs with unfiltered storytelling (an art form the four-piece do best). 



Meanjin/Brisbane’s GLVES chooses colour, softness and truth to cut through the world that often demands hardness, which is shown on her debut EP, ‘Belonging’ - which is out now.



Melbourne-based artist, Annabelle Grace returns with soaring, emotional new indie-pop ballad, ‘Throne’, which follows on from her break-through debut single, ‘Porcelain Face’, which dropped mid-year.

Aussie indie rock trio Moler today swipe right on raw energy and nostalgic punk with’ AI', the group’s first new music since 2019 and a deliciously raucous ride elevated by its accompanying music video. 

It’s been 6 years since Holly Cookie Baker’s previous release (the album, ‘This Is Not a Love Song’), but she has returned with an evocative new single in ‘The Winter’ - an accidental sister song to her 2017 duet, ‘The Summer’ with Tim Rogers.

Melbourne’s genre-shifting PAXY brings a smoky but sweet nostalgic bent to her alt-pop as she emerges from the shadows with her most daring and self-aware single to date in ‘The Fool’. Blending late-night confessions with razor-sharp self-deprecating humour, PAXY delivers a tongue-in-cheek exploration of self-preservation and self-deception, wrapped in a sound that’s as bold as it is vulnerable.
