Brisbane’s Hey Geronimo blur genres with their latest self-produced innovative new single, ‘Last Days’; an infectious dark indie/electro rock track that explores the falling of an empire.
Merging heavy synths and samples with rock sensibilities, and borderline psychedelia-tinged vocals, the track allows strings and breakbeats to set the groove before a fully-fledged fuzzy musical slap to the face with the catchy chorus.
Following from their feel-good EP ‘Golden Hour’, Brisbane’s indie pop 5-piece band Passionfruit are back with their freshly squeezed track ‘Fuzzy’.
The breezy track delivers a warm and vibrant melody in the likes of Aussie artists such as Spacey Jane, Ocean Alley and The Terrys.
Read MoreMelbourne musical mastermind Lalchand has shared a soaring new single "The View From Here" which features Garrett Russell of Silent Planet and Liam Guinane of Reside. The single is the title track from forthcoming feature-filled EP, to be released Friday October 8.
‘The View From Here’ is both hefty and melodic, blending alternative emo rock, with prog-bordering-on-djent rhythmic tones. As much at home slotting along the likes of The Butterfly Effect/Dead Letter Circus as it would with more structurally intense acts like Tesseract, there’s plenty of epically high moments in the choruses, as well as the riff-heavy post-chorus sections that bring to mind earlier Karnivool material.

‘Die Alone’ employs lush strings and atmospheric keys from the get go, before launching into a thick barrage of beats and distortion.

Steady drums and stoic bass complement the serene vocals of lead singer Frankie Vakalis, as the song swells and glides into a sparkling chorus brimming with the reverb-laden elements of superlative indie music.

Read MoreBrisbane alt-rock band, Patient Lounge, are following up their last epic track ‘Useless’ with hard-hitting, progressive-rock tune ‘Vivid Eyes’.
Rock vocals pulsing through the veins of this tune, driven by an arpeggio guitar riff that Andrew Stockdale would give the nod of approval for, ‘Vivid Eyes’ fools you into a groove, and in true Patient Lounge fashion, they flip the switch on the initial concept of the song, and we end up progressing through different scenes of a 7 and a half-minute mini rock-opera.
Read MoreSydney-based Alt Rock newcomers The Opinion Industry have unleashed their powerful debut single and music video called ‘OPINIONS’.
‘Opinions’ slams you in the face from the start, with a somewhat familiar-sounding progression that buries straight into the sub-conscious; it somehow manages to blend 80s hard-rock melodies with a late 90s alt/punk aesthetic, and twisted ending that comes from out of nowhere.
