In the lead up to the release of their debut album later this month, Sydney’s fuzzed-out post-punk trio, oWo have offered-up the first single (and title track), ‘Super Role Model’.
‘Super Role Model’ is a scuzzy, fuzzed-out swagger, with a bass line that sounds like it’s looking for a fight. The drums have a slacker feel, but aggressively so, and the panned, delayed guitar adds plenty of eerie menace to the track. It’s the vocals, with hardly any effort, that give ‘Super Role Model’ the who-gives-a-fuck vibe. It’s a sound that used to be at the forefront of Australian Alt Rock in the 90s, and it deserves a comeback to the fold.

Moody, dark, and synth-drenched pop, ‘Gone’ puts the musical weight on your chest, with a deep heartbeat kick, and reversing synth strings, but over the low rumble of bass, there is a breath, with Lucy’s vocals shifting from heartbreak, to resolution and light.

Adelaide metalcore legends, The Daily Chase mark their return with a hefty new single, ‘Lotusland’, which also is the first taste of their forthcoming EP, ‘The Colour of Crisis’.
‘Lotusland’ adopts synth and drum’n’bass in to their sound, before hitting with an ominous riff and face-melting screams from vocalist Rory Cuthell. There’s elements of nu-metal sneaking in with pitch-shifted vocals, creepy keys, and one hell of a fat groove, before a dirty breakdown sledgehammers its way in to the track. It’s dark, menacing and brings the devil horns straight up.

Sydney five-piece indie outfit, Buffalo Paradise suck in all the summery surf rock vibes, wrap them in a neat package, and serve them up as their sophomore single, ‘Promises’.
‘Promises’ has this weird blend of 80s-era Mental As Anything-meets-The Kooks sound happening; it manages to sound current (like a lot of vibing surf-indie-rock) while simultaneously sounding nostalgically Australian. It’s a sunset soundtrack on the beach, with bright guitars, smooth bass, pop drums, and organs coming together to lay the bed for the accent-blending vocal delivery that just works.
