Track: Introducing BB Sabina’s Stunning New Release ‘Multitude’ + Single Launch!
BB Sabina’s latest single, ‘Multitude,’ is a track that lingers. It’s nearly seven minutes long, and honestly, it might not be long enough. Moving through trip-hop’s shadowy corners, it picks up the tension of post-rock and absolutely glows with hypnotism. Beth Uhe’s voice drifts through like a lone ballerina, upstaged by nothing else. It’s layered …

EP Review: Ellis D – Spill
For those new to Ellis D, you will find a familiar warmth within the chaotic madness on display here.

Live Review & Gallery: Blossoms Bring Charm, Kasabian Bring The Riot – Enmore Theatre, Gadigal Land/Sydney, 15.03.25
Blossoms hit the stage with a kind of easy confidence that only comes from years of tight-knit chemistry. Their groove-heavy Britpop sound felt effortless live, frontman Tom Ogden carrying it all with a supernatural charm and touch of ’70s flair. Kicking off with ‘What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?’, they slid into a set …
Album Review: Brisbane’s Tape/Off unveil a magnum opus in the epic new album ‘Fort Sensible’ ahead of national tour.
Listening to the new album by Tape/Off is like journeying across the wide open landscapes of Australia where the scenery dramatically changes and yet remains breathtaking and stunning throughout. And threaded through every note is a larrikin sense of humour (the album title itself is an obscure Homer Simpson reference). The result veers from unhinged …

Track: Gemma Rogers Releases Charity Single ‘Words Fail’ With Proceeds Going To Palestine Charity HEAL
It’s really not like Gemma Rogers to be lost for words. Her chipper currency is her poetic patois – it’s her raison d’etre. I think they call it “news anxiety” – that feeling of powerlessness and anxiety in response to the constant bombardment of negative news. What can Gemma do? What can you do? Shocked …
Album Review: The Horrors – Night Life: Breaking Boundaries, Embracing Change
The Horrors have never been a band that stands still, but their approach has always been to evolve their sound rather then outright revolutionise it. New album ‘Night Life’ embraces the latter approach, ripping up many of the boundaries, or perhaps constraints, of old. With a revamped lineup composed of the ‘core duo’ of singer …
