Sunshine Coast alt-rock drum and bass nerds, Muules offer up their latest and last single before the release of their debut full length album next year. The new single, ‘Divide The Divided’, it seems, has been released with a twist.
A change of pace from previous releases, ‘Divide The Divided’ points out the contradictions in musical tastes and trends in the industry - the struggle of trying to stand out when you're supposed to be fitting in. With strings and synths a-plenty, and an Aussie chorus in the background before the switch is flipped and the track takes a monolithic full alternative rock/grunge turn, ‘Divide The Divided’ will please the musical palette of any fan of 90s and 00s alternative music.

Sunshine Coast’s rock/prog outfit, The Quakers have been quiet in the past few months. Though an EP was released in January last year, followed by a new single in September (the very cool, ‘Different Days’ which you can hear here). we hadn’t seen much from the chunky prog riffsters in the way of live shows.
That could be due to frontman Job Cran’s efforts - because, blow us down, he’s gone and released some solo material.
