Level Up Your Sad Playlist Vibes: IOS15 Introduces Background Noise Feature

Apple has just provided the perfect feature for those days when you’re feeling glum but the weather is in stark contrast. Australia’s sunny skies are definitely a blessing most days- but sometimes you just want a little gloomy weather to match your mood. Being based in ‘The Sunshine State’ means that I’ve found myself searching on Youtube “Acoustic [insert favourite band here] with Rain” perhaps a few too many times, while the sun is shining outside. ...

Live Review: Cub Sport @ The Tivoli

With restrictions continuing to lift around Australia, Brisbane locals Cub Sport were able to perform their first shows since their fourth studio album ‘Like Nirvana’ was released in late July- and spoiler alert, it was beautiful. Last weekend saw the home-grown favourites sell out two nights at The Tivoli in Brisbane, the Saturday of which we were lucky enough to attend. It also happened to be frontman Tim Nelson’s birthday, which added some extra magic to the night and saw the crowd sing a sn

Interview: SAMAS Chats About His Debut EP, Live Shows, Bevvies + More!

Sydney Southsider SAMAS has just delivered his eponymous debut EP, a four-track feast of good old Aussie garage-rock. An exploration of self-indulgence, politics, recklessness, adolescence and defeatism, the EP is an uninhibited genre-bending gem with tongue-in-cheek humour weaved throughout. The lead track, ‘Drink Alcohol’ is an open-armed embrace of hedonism, playfully inviting the listener to sink some beers and relish in the sweet chaos of it all. Followed by some more grunge, blues and pun

Premiere: Radolescent Unleash Comic-Style Music Video For ‘Couch’

Local legends Radolescent have just dropped the long-awaited music video for ‘Couch’, their pumping single we’ve had on loop since March. We’ve been fans of this Gold Coast group for years now- dating back to the days of thrashing mosh pits and sweaty crowd surfs at Miami Shark Bar (R.I.P.). Specialising in fuzzy surf rock, Radolescent are a sure hit for fans of garage-rock, slacker-infused bands like Dune Rats, Beddy Rays and Skeggs. After indulging in the ‘Couch’ clip we know you’ll be ...

Interview: San Cisco

Following their most recent single release, we caught up with home-grown honeys San Cisco to chat about their long-awaited album coming out just next month. Congrats on the latest single ‘Messages’! There’s a real juxtaposition between the light-hearted sound of the track and the lyrics… can you tell us a bit more about the story behind it? Thank you! Yeah, we have always loved to do a bit of juxtaposition in our songwriting. It’s a product of my sad songwriting and Josh and Scarlett’s love of

The Lowdown On The Uni Social @ Mo’s Desert Clubhouse

Mo’s Desert Clubhouse recently launched The Uni Social, an initiative for students to gain valuable experience in the music industry, while putting on a string of fun-packed live shows- all welcome to attend. We attended the inaugural event last Thursday and were super impressed- explosive live music, a sick beer-pong championship played between sets (which btw, I won), cheap drinks and a tasty food truck meant it exceeded all expectations. There were students all around training on lights and

Interview: Go-Jo

Aussie singer/songwriter Go–Jo recently dropped ‘You Don’t Love Me’, a sweet taste of guitar-driven pop that’s been stuck in our heads ever since the release. Blending elements of Indie, Hip Hop and R&B, Go-Jo has created a fresh sonic experience, carried by his rich yet raspy voice. Written, recorded and produced all in his little bedroom studio, this track illustrates the serious talent he’s got to offer. We thought we’d get in on ground zero and have a chat with the Perth local as he’s been c
