Brisbane's Reckless Coast go full throttle and swagger with latest single, 'Do You Want Me?'

Brisbane three-piece Reckless Coast (formerly Rude Rum) go full throttle with their latest single, ‘Do You Want Me?’; a track that presents a modern euphoria that reminisces on Australian Rock nostalgia.

‘Do You Want Me?’ starts with a crash of the likes we haven’t heard since Stone Temple Pilots’ ‘Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart’; but don’t be fooled, this track isn’t veering off in to post-grunge alt rock world. This is straight up rock’n’roll swagger, with so much damn swing, it’s a surprise the hips aren’t dislocated.

Sunshine Coast multi-instrumentalist and producer, Zero Theory follows up on 2020’s ‘Arrival’ album with the brand new EP, ‘Duality’, which explores sectors of Psydub, Downtempo, and heavy Bass.

Interism offer up tasty new fried Australian Alt grunge punk EP, '3 Piece Feed'
Interism offer up tasty new fried Australian Alt grunge punk EP, '3 Piece Feed'

Caboolture’s merry men of alt rock, Interism have offered up their latest EP, ‘3 Piece Feed’ - three killer tracks of tasty, fried Australian alternative grunge punk, ready for consumption.

Interism have been purveyors of nostalgic alternative rock, particularly that with a 90s Australian alt tone, for some time, and ‘3 Piece Feed’ is an extension of their previous offerings (the single, ‘Honestly’, and the full length album, ‘Avondale St’). There’s nothing over-cooked in this sonic meal, stripping it back to guitar(s), drums, bass and vocals. It’s pure volume, sweat and good ol’ mosh-ready grunge-y punk rock in the vein of Bodyjar, NOFX, and Gyroscope.

Shen Panthers shun the rules and deliver 6 minute epic single, 'Psychedelic Alleyway'

Sunshine Coast’s Shen Panthers have had enough of 2022 already, and have opened a can of whoop-ass in the guise of their new single, ‘Psychedelic Alleyway’ - a 6 minute and 18 second mammoth journey that is free for the taking.

In an age of heavy music consumption and two-minute tracks, it’s not often a single hits the 6 minute plus bracket, but Shen Panthers shun the trend and have delivered their own epic in ‘Psychedelic Alleyway’.

Brisbane's Lucid Safari have entered the chat with killer indie reggae debut EP, 'Delirium'

Australia is a hot-bed of indie reggae acts that have a distinctive sound, much like So-Cal, or NZ reggae have their own, and you can add Brisbane’s Lucid Safari to the list of talent, coming out swinging with their debut EP, ‘Delirum’.

Already attracting the ears of radio, both nationally and in the US with singles ‘Lady’ and ‘Liquid Dreams’, Lucid Safari - the project for songwriter Daniel J Lewis and his roster of local musicians - display a level of musical maturity that generally takes a few years on the live circuit to solidify.

Brisbane's Honeychurch shows us what 'Normal Problems' are all about with epic new nerdy power pop anthem.

Brisbane-via-Townsville singer/songwriter, Honeychurch packs up his punk influences, and shoves them in to one huge-sounding new power-pop single, ‘Normal Problems’, which is out now.

‘Normal Problems’ comes across like Tim Freedman from The Whitlams deciding to randomly jam with the guys from Airbourne. As ridiculous as a description this is, it bloody well works.
