GENIIE BOY leave a mark with new sweet'n sour single, 'Bruises'

Gold Coast two-piece outfit, GENIIE BOY share their second single 'Bruises'; a fun, pop-rock track about love and finding your tribe.

GENIIE BOY is a fusion of talent from singer-songwriter Alisha Todd and producer, multi-instrumentalist, Scott French. Much like all GENIIE BOY magic, the track was produced at Lovestreet Studios, which is owned by Scott. Their track was written in a stream of consciousness after reflecting on the pair's sentiment toward their platonic and romantic relationships:

Party Punks, PhD! tell you to 'Keep Dreaming, Weirdo' with new EP.

Brisbane pop-punk weirdos, PhD! have slid straight in to our DMs with their eclectic take on punk rock with their new EP, ‘Keep Dreaming, Weirdo’ which is out now.

Rumour has it they were spurred on to join the music industry after their original drummer’s Nana provided the ultimatum of ‘you either become a doctor, or die in the military’, resulting instead with the young four rushing out to buy instruments, and PhD! was born (whether this is all completely true is yet to be verified).

Melbourne-based alternative rock group Bad Juju have revealed a sensitive accompanying music video for their recent single ‘In the Clouds’ – filmed, directed, and edited by Colin Jeffs.

Shot at Manorisms Studios, Black Rabbit Bar, and other locations, the video integrates the stories of a young kid, being distracted and eclipsed from his hopeful passions, and his older counterpart, portrayed by lead singer Russell Holland, being reacquainted with said youthful dreams.

Brisbane's Deadlights unveil vigorous new single, 'Sudden Life/ Sudden Death' from upcoming album, 'The Uncanny Valley'

Brisbane-based post-hardcore quartet Deadlights have today returned with yet another resounding single ‘Sudden Life / Sudden Death’ - mixed and mastered by Chris Vernon (Belle Haven, Windwaker, Stuck Out).

The song launches into action with penetrating vocals from frontman Dylan Davidson, before declaratory guitars and a menacing rhythm section create a wall of sound complete with mechanical instrumentation. The track's intensity continues throughout a melodic chorus, with emphasis on high-register clean vocals and technical drumming patterns. Dynamic momentum guides the listener into a defying breakdown, before an unrelenting outro brings the song to its abrupt end.
