Interism offer up tasty new fried Australian Alt grunge punk EP, '3 Piece Feed'

Caboolture’s merry men of alt rock, Interism have offered up their latest EP, ‘3 Piece Feed’ - three killer tracks of tasty, fried Australian alternative grunge punk, ready for consumption.

Interism have been purveyors of nostalgic alternative rock, particularly that with a 90s Australian alt tone, for some time, and ‘3 Piece Feed’ is an extension of their previous offerings (the single, ‘Honestly’, and the full length album, ‘Avondale St’). There’s nothing over-cooked in this sonic meal, stripping it back to guitar(s), drums, bass and vocals. It’s pure volume, sweat and good ol’ mosh-ready grunge-y punk rock in the vein of Bodyjar, NOFX, and Gyroscope.

In an age of heavy music consumption and two-minute tracks, it’s not often a single hits the 6 minute plus bracket, but Shen Panthers shun the trend and have delivered their own epic in ‘Psychedelic Alleyway’.

Gold Coast's The Vultures steam up the dance floor with synth-heavy smooth indie disco single, 'Conversations'

Gold Coast’s The Vultures take their indie-rock sounds, and make them disco ready to honour the end of summer with their new single, ‘Conversations’.

‘Conversations’ is airy, but tight. That guitar/bass/drum groove is locked in so tight, which lets the atmospheric synths float around like a hazy cloud of smoke in an 80s nightclub.

Brisbane's Lucid Safari have entered the chat with killer indie reggae debut EP, 'Delirium'

Australia is a hot-bed of indie reggae acts that have a distinctive sound, much like So-Cal, or NZ reggae have their own, and you can add Brisbane’s Lucid Safari to the list of talent, coming out swinging with their debut EP, ‘Delirum’.

Already attracting the ears of radio, both nationally and in the US with singles ‘Lady’ and ‘Liquid Dreams’, Lucid Safari - the project for songwriter Daniel J Lewis and his roster of local musicians - display a level of musical maturity that generally takes a few years on the live circuit to solidify.

Brisbane's Honeychurch shows us what 'Normal Problems' are all about with epic new nerdy power pop anthem.

Brisbane-via-Townsville singer/songwriter, Honeychurch packs up his punk influences, and shoves them in to one huge-sounding new power-pop single, ‘Normal Problems’, which is out now.

‘Normal Problems’ comes across like Tim Freedman from The Whitlams deciding to randomly jam with the guys from Airbourne. As ridiculous as a description this is, it bloody well works.

Sydney's scuzzy trio, oWo bring fuzzed out swagger on single, 'Super Role Model'

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.
