Melbourne's Bad Juju get spooky with epic alt rock single, 'American Halloween'

After taking a trip down memory lane earlier in the year with "In The Clouds", Melbourne-based alternative rock outfit Bad Juju are back and better than ever with a tongue-in-cheek ode to the dark side of life with new single, "American Halloween". Bad Juju channel their love for catchy hooks, big riffs and classic popcorn horror movies into a self assuring anthem that commands listeners bring out their weirder side.

The new single, inspired by the band’s love of cheesy American slasher films, hits you straight away with its melancholy-tinged heavy grunge. Walls of guitar, slacker vocals, and a dreamy middle eight (before being slammed in the face by a wave of guitars, bass and drums). It’s epic, without being pretentious.

Muules release exclusive download-only epic single, 'Divide The Divided'

Sunshine Coast alt-rock drum and bass nerds, Muules offer up their latest and last single before the release of their debut full length album next year. The new single, ‘Divide The Divided’, it seems, has been released with a twist.

With strings and synths a-plenty, and an Aussie chorus in the background before the switch is flipped and the track takes a monolithic full alternative rock/grunge turn, ‘Divide The Divided’ will please the musical palette of any fan of 90s and 00s alternative music.
