With a powerful voice filled with a ineluctable power that would light up an entire universe, we are very proud to premiere the new single ‘Bloom’ from Melbourne singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bella Deer.

We are very proud to exclusively reveal the new video for the legendary Screamfeeder‘s track ‘Late To The Party’, from last year’s epic album ‘Five Rooms’ (reviewed by me here). At the heart of Screamfeeder’s music is pure melody: layered harmonies that are coated over a rough-hewn skeleton replete with snaking bass and jangling barbed-wire …

We are delighted to premiere today the new single ‘Nothing Lasts’ from Western Australian artist Clay Western. Dripping with a delicious melancholia and framed by sky scraping choruses over an electronic thrum, this is a dynamic and heartening track that makes you simultaneously weep and laugh with joy.

We are cryogenically frozen with excitement to give you an exclusive listen to the new single from the brilliant Jo Meares, ‘Faster Than A First Kiss’. Meares to me is one of the most prodigious talents summering below the surface in Australia: his profundity and eloquence comes across as the love child of Nick Cave …

We are very honoured to premiere the debut track from Eora/Sydney-based outfit GRXCE entitled ‘Pretty Boy’ – a driving track about superficiality and image delivered over a quiet/loud tone and singer Jamila Grace’s evocative, sardonic vocals that lay a soft velvet cloak over the scything guitars. This is grunge pop at its very best – …

We are very pleased to premiere the silky smooth sibilant sounds of ‘ByeByeBaby’ from Arty Ziff, featuring the velvet vocals of singer Jade Alice. Arty Ziff is the nom de plume of Naarm/Melbourne-based producer, Mitch Kelly, whose mastery of the genre is confirmed with a pop-infused clarity in this new track. Imbued with a neon …

Following up on their single ‘Shoebox’, indie popsters and al round groove merchants The Shrugs have released the full throttle blast of ‘Charlie Brown’, which we are very pleased to premiere here at Backseat Mafia. ‘Charlie Brown’ blasts off with the typical Marrickville sound of fuzzy guitar pop and bluster. A crunchy guitar intro launches …
