NEW RELEASE - Brisbane/Sunny Coast's The Letter Elle brightens up our day with smooth R & B track, 'Sunrise'

Emulating warmth and soul, Brisbane based singer-songwriter, The Letter Elle makes a bold return with a self-produced track, 'Sunrise', premiered via triple j's Roots 'n All.

Showcasing her skill for production, Elle Emery has created a new track ladened with smooth electric guitar riffs, crisp percussion elements, and raspy R&B and Jazz tinged vocals. 'Sunrise' is a retrospective and picturesque song inspired by living in the moment and finding solace. “Sunrise is, at first glance, a love song about enjoying just being in the moment and not putting pressure on what it ‘should be’ or where the future is going,” explains Elle.

NEW RELEASE - Muules break out isolation-era heavy alt-rock single 'We Could Do Better'
NEW RELEASE - Muules break out isolation-era heavy alt-rock single 'We Could Do Better'

It’s a damn strange world we’ve found ourselves living in, and while the live music has been put on hold, bands are still finding a way to keep the music flowing. Sunshine Coast alt-rock/prog trio, Muules have joined the cause, dug deep and released one of their rockiest tracks in ‘We Could Do Better’.

One of their oldest songs (written back in 2017), the lyrics are somewhat prophetic in bringing to light how the majority of us are feeling while in lockdown/isolation, particularly with the opening lines, ‘Four walls closing in, tightness grips across your chest, irrational feelings, can’t quite put my finger on, not quite doom, but something’s impending’.

NEW RELEASE - Jesswah drops the smooth funk and glitch with new track, 'Azure Ray'

Little confession to make… we dropped the ball with this one. We knew Jesswah had a new track, but was waiting for the official release, then, we got caught up with everything that’s happening, that we missed it.

But, that aside, Jesswah has brought some epic funk and glitch with the new track, ‘Azure Ray’, with big beats, layers of synths, and featuring silky smooth guitar lines from Mr Brodie Graham.

NEW RELEASE - OceanShores bring the brutality with metal/hardcore single, 'Severed'

Sunshine Coast Metal/Hardcore outfit, OceanShores have ramped ups your Friday with a brand new track, ‘Severed’.

As you’d expect with this style, the drums are slamming hard, the guitars and bass are full, and the vocals guttural. There’s a nice surprise with a melodic bridge 2/3’s of the way through the track, before the build up back into a throat-tearing, chugged-out chunky breakdown.

In times of strangeness, it can either bring some dark, broody art, or it can deliver some super-fun sounds to perk you up.

The Sunny Coaster birthed the track from a love of nostalgic pop hooks and catchy lyrics, with the meaning behind the song being about realness and sharing the vulnerable side of one’s self, despite the setbacks and negativity you may have.

Those purveyors of eclectic indie/psych rock, Dear Doonan, have been busy while we’re self-isolating, bringing out the trippy new single, ‘How Do You See?’.

While their previous release, ‘Sweet Quiche’ was a light summery groove (with a cool rollerskating video to boot), ‘How Do You See?’ dwells into the darker side, taking on a 70s Turkish Psyche Rock influence.

Sunshine Coast/Gympie artist, Aspy Jones releases his new single ‘Come Alive’ recorded in Brisbane by James North Productions.

‘Come Alive’ is a power pop song with a very serious message. “Come Alive was written about women who I see, spending their lives trying to make other people happy but not thinking about their own happiness”, says Aspy, “I am surrounded by strong, independent women and it saddens me when I see other women who are not in control of their own lives and their future is in the power of someone or something else. I wrote this song to encourage them to be the person they want to be and I hope they find the strength to do that”.
