Gold Coast prog/alt-rock outfit, Mass Sky Raid have released their third single, the proggy, electro-tinged belter, ‘Undertow’, which will also feature on the band’s upcoming album, ‘Calm In Chaos’ (which releases on June 3rd).
‘Undertow’ is clean, precise Australian alt/prog rock. It goes for the big moments in the choruses, pulls back enough in the verses, and goes in deep for some electro middle-eight goodness.
Read MoreSydney-based indie rock lords, Bad Pony haunt you in your dreams with a deliriously catchy indie-dance single, ‘Freddy Krueger’.
Fast becoming a favourite in the Australian Indie scene, Bad Pony present ‘Freddy Krueger’ as the final instalment of a horror-inspired spattering of singles that the band have recently released.
Read MoreMelbourne-based indie-pop artist, Lili-Violet digs deep and produces an immensely powerful new single in ‘Anxiety’, a follow-up to the enigmatic and slower-paced ‘She’, released last year.
‘Anxiety’ is a powerful indie-pop track; deep, dark, yet showing off immense energy. Embracing a mix of traditional rock instruments with layers of synths, Lili-Violet, teaming up with Jarred Young and Alex L’Estrange, pull together a multifaceted sound that becomes more immersive and addictive on each listen.
Read MoreMelbourne rockers Motor Ace have officially returned from the sonic wilderness after 17 years, announcing a brand new single Knock Knock that traces its origins all the way back to the early 2000s.
The new track relishes in hard-rocking riffs and the potent spirit of the group’s breakout 2001 debut album Five Star Laundry; a fitting connection, with Motor Ace also imminently gearing up for their Five Star Laundry Anniversary tour
Read MoreBrisbane’s Katanak is continuing his stream of fun, indie pop singles that mix things up, with the brand new single, ‘Weigh Down’ - a song inspired by his time as part of Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis film.
Katanak (real name Dylan Cattanach) self-produced the track, recorded and mixed in the studio with Jared Adlam (Caligula’s Horse, Mitch King, Aleyce Simmonds), which shows his ability to switch up genres and jolt his listeners into paying attention.
Read MoreD’Addario-endorsed artist, Marcus Wynwood has been grabbing attention for some time, and his latest single, ‘Little Space’ is sure to keep that coming.
‘Little Space’ is a complete surprise package. The acoustic guitar strumming gives off some ‘Sleeping Satellite’ vibes, before the muted & distorted drum n bass rhythms and rounded bass line bump in for support. Marcus’ vocals shift from telephone to full-blown stadium rock. It’s a track that builds, and quite frankly, refuses to stop.
Read MoreSunshine Coast’s collective of groove, Dub Zoo have delivered on their promise for frequent releases, and their next offering to the dub gods is the ode to the freedom of escaping a toxic relationship. ‘Game Over’ is out now…
Lulling the listener in to what feels like a steady dub trip, ‘Game Over’ all of 12 seconds to shift gears in to an uptempo, yet dark ska jam
Read MoreSydney-based duo, Racing Birds blend a tonne of nostalgic, melancholic melodies with 60s inspired bluesy guitars with their debut EP, ‘Lonesome Blue’ which is out now.
Racing Birds lean into visions of yesteryear; 70s sunsets, Southern California mystic and fading tail lights, the duo effortless bring together the sentimentality of a bygone era, with modern tones and inspired hooks.

Read MoreSwapping out his pulsing trap beats from previous releases, for laid-back acoustic guitar topped with his slickly spun lyrics, Wesley Black has released his sleek indie-pop/ alt hip-hop single 'King Of The World’.

Read MoreMelbourne-based Indie-Pop artist, Misha Bear releases a stunning, catchy new album that is covered in shiny alt-pop & electronica goodness. The full-length release, ‘Superflower’ is out now.
‘Superflower’ collates quirky-synth pop with super-confident vocals, bringing together a darkly fun, bouncing soundtrack. It brings to mind the completely off-centre Alisha’s Attic, Shakespear’s Sister, and a dash of Joss Stone sassiness thrown in for extra measure.
Read MoreMelbourne’s ERIS AU has offered up one hell of a debut single in the cold, brutal track, ‘Kill The One Percent’; an unnerving metallic track that takes cues from various heavy genres to form one slab of a heavy single.
ERIS AU is a new heavy music solo project of Dylan Abel (Ex Nidus, Ex Arkive) that promises to deliver tongue in cheek sentiments through crushing and energetic song writing.
Read MoreGippsland (on Gunaikurnai Country) is producing a slab of lo-fi & garage of high calibre, and Two Last Names are one such act, that have delivered a new single in ‘Yah Yah Yah’.
‘Yah Yah Yah’ is thick Ocker emo; it’s suburban Australian punk poetry that has some charming grit.
Read MoreBrisbane indie-pop project LOVELOVELOVE follow up on their first single, ‘smalltowns’ with a emotive, deep cut in latest single, ‘holding on’, which is yet another taste of their debut EP due in mid-2022.
‘holding on’ is both wistful, yet full of hope thanks mainly to the use of the cushioning, warping sound of the mellotron (famously used in The Beatles’ ‘Strawberry Fields Forever). The pulsing dance beat echoes the fluffy tones of the mellotron, along with mixture of breathy and falsetto vocals.
Read MoreBrisbane three-piece Reckless Coast (formerly Rude Rum) go full throttle with their latest single, ‘Do You Want Me?’; a track that presents a modern euphoria that reminisces on Australian Rock nostalgia.
‘Do You Want Me?’ starts with a crash of the likes we haven’t heard since Stone Temple Pilots’ ‘Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart’; but don’t be fooled, this track isn’t veering off in to post-grunge alt rock world. This is straight up rock’n’roll swagger, with so much damn swing, it’s a surprise the hips aren’t dislocated.
Read MoreKnown for their quirky brand of electro / indie-pop that shimmers with the sonic vibrancy of infinite crystal stars, beloved Gold Coast duo GENIIE BOY are unveiling their newest single ‘Elevator To The Sky’ alongside a zany, space-powered music video accompaniment.
Read MoreWestern Australia has long been known as being in a league of their own, birthing acts that just hit different (Tame Impala, Karnivool, Jebediah, Spacey Jane), and you can Perth’s DICE to that list. Boasting an impressive number of streams over seven singles, and a band that is hardly in to their second year of existence, DICE have dropped their debut EP, ‘Adolescent Arcade’ and you can expect this gamble to pay off.
