Twelve Foot Ninja team up with Jinjer's Tatiana Shmayluk for batsh*t crazy new music video 'Over and Out'

Heavy fusion rockers Twelve Foot Ninja release an extended video for their new single Over and Out with a guest appearance by the enigmatic Tatiana Shmayluk, frontwoman of metal band Jinjer. It’s Twelve Foot Ninja’s third single from their upcoming album VENGEANCE (out 15th October 2021 through Volkanik Music).

In true Twelve Foot Ninja style, the music video is completely batsh*t crazy, hilarious and twisted, reflecting much of the musical content. Full of djent guitars and bass, and Kin’s vocal flexing, complemented by Jinjer’s Tatiana, ‘Over and Out’ is a heavy and haunting blast of prog-alt-rock, building to a chunky crescendo.

Muules deliver cartoony film clip for latest alt-punk, horn-laden single, ‘Drain’

Following on the release of their latest single, the alt-punk, horn-laden track ‘Drain’, Muules have delivered their accompanying film clip.

With ‘Drain’s running theme of self-doubt and trying to express your thoughts and feelings in a relationship that has dulled, the music video expresses being physically ‘drained’ by having the band all as silhouettes, and giving an overall cartoon-ish vibe to express the ridiculousness of the situations we find ourselves in.

Brisbane’s Paulina follows up on her critically-praised single, ‘Lonely Drives’ with her new cut, ‘Parasite’’ a super slick, morphing groove pop single produced by Toby Hobart

‘Parasite’ suckers you in with sweet vocals of Paulina, soft acoustic guitar, and slight haunting synths, and then flips sideways, transforming in to fat bass-driven groove pop number, with creepy crawly pads sliding in and out to sonically represent the metaphorical, titular bug.

Multi-state punks, Wishful Thinking have done the brave and unexpected by releasing a brand new track, a six minute epic in ‘Destiny Pt. 1’ - a song that came about as a response to the band’s own struggles with anxiety and depression.

Released to coincide with R U OK? Day, ‘Destiny Pt. 1’ whether intentionally or not, borrows heavily from the legendary ‘American Idiot’ album by Green Day, with its form of storytelling, and pop elements blended into punk riffing and anthemic choral sections, interspersed news grabs, and multiple hooks.

PREMIERE - Gold Coast's Mermaid Waters let loose on latest rap/rock/grunge single, 'The Grudge'

Emerging from the suburban Gold Coast region, alt-rock duo Mermaid Waters have released a fierce and energetic new single, ‘The Grudge’; a rap-rock blast that unsubtly twists and turns through abrasive grooves in to synth-based breakdowns.

Following on from previous single, ‘Royalty’ (which was closer to alt-rock/grunge), ‘The Grudge’ cranks the aggression to 11 with stoner-grunge groove providing the bed for vitriolic rap-rock vocals, snaking its way to a sample and synth middle section, before bringing it all back for a hint of Morello-esque guitar scratching. It brings to mind the more political-rap-metal from the Testeagles.

Accompanying Jem will be special guest, Chloe Styler.

‘Letting Go’ boasts Jem’s confident vocal approach, with pillowy piano chords, acoustic strumming and a perfectly underbaked rhythm section that stays right in the pocket. It’s the pre-chorus that really grabs your attention, and at times borders on bringing on those musically-induced goosebumps.
