Track: Wollongong’s Drift won’t ‘Fade Away’ in a cinematic blast, with live dates ahead.
Wollongong’s Drift have just released an anthemic track entitled ‘Fade Away’, which channels a little antipodean slacker surf elements with a more muscular Dinosaur Jnr vibe. But it’s not just a monochrome delivery – it is replete with a little quite/loud ethic and even a detour to a death metal throaty roar in the outro: …
Track: Dropping Honey unfurl ‘Branches’ – a cathartic blast of immersive and spine chilling shoegaze.
Wollongong’s Dropping Honey display many of the facets of what I call the Marrickville Sound – bands from the eighties or nineties that have evolved into other bands or reconvened where they left off, rejuvenated, refreshed and just as creative as ever. Dropping Honey are the latter variation – a band that has got back …
Premiere: Hoon are a little bit ‘Fried’: a frenetic onslaught that sweeps through the brain like an out of control freight train. A new album and tour also lie ahead.
With a thrilling delivery Johnny Rotten would be proud of, we are very pleased to premiere the new track ‘Fried’ from Dharawal/Wollongong-based garage-rock act Hoon. This comes as a precursor to a new album and a tour, so good things are in store. If you imagine an out of control fully laden freight train on …

Premiere: Australia’s Aodhan reveals a dreamy slice of antipodean indie pop with title single ‘Flies In My Room’ from his new EP
We are honoured to premiere today Aodhan‘s delicious new single ‘Flies In My Room’: a gentle reflective track with crisp acoustic guitars and a bed of billowing synths and harmonies. Hailing from the industrial town of Wollongong, Aohdan (the work of Dhawaral songwriter Aidan Whitehall) has a style that positively shimmers and sparkles in the …

The group have received widespread support from acclaimed music tastemakers Pilerats and recently played support for Brisbane’s Mallrat in front of a massive audience.

Track: Kitten Heel – Needs to Go
Hailing from the industrial port of Wollongong, south of Sydney, the new single from Kitten Heel is a far from that gritty imagery as you can get. ‘Needs to Go’ is a bright, bubbly slice of sunshine that has a dreamy pace and delicate fragility about it. This is very much a synth-centric track that …
