Read MoreGadigal Land, Eora Country (Sydney) has produced a fiery femme soul-punk act in DOWNGIRL, who combine nu-punk and classic 90s grunge sounds (think L7, Bikini Kill, Veruca Salt, Magic Dirt), and have come packing heat with their debut single, ‘Beauty Queen’.

Read MoreSunshine Coast multi-instrumentalist and producer, Zero Theory follows up on 2020’s ‘Arrival’ album with the brand new EP, ‘Duality’, which explores sectors of Psydub, Downtempo, and heavy Bass.

Read MoreMelbourne’s soulsters, Velvet Bloom release their first music for 2022 with the aptly-titled sultry single, ‘Glimmer’. It follows on from last year’s beckoning soul jam, ‘Run’, and is the second single to be lifted off Velvet Bloom’s forthcoming debut EP of the same name.
‘Glimmer’ is a wonder of a track. The musicianship is almost intimidating, from the controlled smokey croon of front woman Maddy Herbert, through to the layers of jazz influences that are crammed under a soulful blanket.
Read MoreMelbourne-based rockers Unbroken Expanse load up on Celtic punk rock epicness to deliver a killer new single (and music video for) ‘Bootstrap Billy’.
You have to love a song that’s based on a fictional character, and often, this particular genre of rock (punk rock with Celtic flavour) does it the best. You can smell the beer, and the sweat with this raucous sing along.
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.
Read MoreSunshine Coast’s Shen Panthers have had enough of 2022 already, and have opened a can of whoop-ass in the guise of their new single, ‘Psychedelic Alleyway’ - a 6 minute and 18 second mammoth journey that is free for the taking.

Read MoreBrisbane’s heavy alt-rock kids, Lunchtime are now all grown up, celebrating six years together with their first single of 2022, the hard-hitting grunge epic, ‘Wait’, which we are premiering here on The Point ahead of its March 5th release.

Read MoreGold 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.
Read MoreSunshine Coast-Brisbane nu-grunge wünderkinds, Wetlands are back and slapping 2022 around the face with their fierce, catchy new single, ‘You Left Your Empty Drink In My Car’, which we are premiering on The Point today.
Read MoreAustralia 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’.
