We are pleased to premiere today the new single from that curator of smooth salves for the soul, Dr Mann. The new single ‘Spinning In Circles’ has that Dr Mann signature: an alt country goodness lined with waves of slide guitars and catchy tunes. Main man Danny Mann’s deep sonorous vocals, lightened with Ines Burton’s …
Track: Sunshine Coast’s Dr Mann prescribes a little alt country goodness with debut single ‘Stubborn Mule’.
Daniel Mann is a busy man. In his other guise, he plays in the jangling indie outfit Swimsuit Issue which released a well-received debut album this year (‘Burn For The Buzz’ – read my review here), and as CEO of label and PR group Bueno Bueno Sound, Mann has also made time to nurture a …

We are proud to premiere today the single from Sunshine Coast indie punk rock purveyors Muules, whose new track ‘Drain’ is a vibrant and throbbing track filled with a visceral rhythmic pulse that beats like a racing heart.

It was only back in March that I was first introduced to Swimsuit Issue through their atomic blast of a debut single ‘Addict’.

Album Review: Tori Forsyth’s ‘Provlépseis’ is a collection of the most satisfyingly visceral indie rock anthems you could hear this year
‘Provlépseis’ means predictions in Greek, and in the new album from Tori Forsyth, out through Island Records Australia and UMA, becomes a mysterious label for a blistering, visceral piece of work with a pop heart and barbed-wire veins. Combining Forsyth’s swooping, ascendant vocals with chunky, thundering guitars and an insistent driving rhythm gives wings to …
Track: Swimsuit Issue announce news of album and release soaring anthemic single ‘The Feeling’
Sunshine Coast band Swimsuit Issue pinned back our collective ears earlier this year with the thundering and visceral track ‘Addict’ (reviewed by me here). Now they are back with the announcement of their debut album for release later in 2021 and a new single, ‘The Feeling’. ‘The Feeling’ considerably pumps on the brakes and shows …
Track: Dear Doonan’s new single ‘Papaya’ is a scintillating slice of world music
‘Papaya’s is a fascinating new single from the Sunshine Coast (Queensland) band Dear Doonan – it has a world music tone delivered in a mostly instrumental bed with a melodic and effervescent flow. A song of many movements, there is an Indian flavour to the sounds with the use of Sitars, and vocals mixed with …
