Panama – Magic
Even after the heat of the last few days, there is no way that I am ready for summer to end just yet. Sydney based Panama are definitely trying to keep it going with their debut single Magic. An indie pop track with all the synths, whistling and general happiness that is required, Magic is...
Maples
Photo by Zoe McMahon As a kid, my parents listened to a heap of Joni Mitchell, Enya, Kate Bush and James Taylor. I’ve also had my fair share of fan boy moments with the likes of Fiest, Cat Power & Little Scout. So it’s fair to say that in a sense, I’m predisposed to falling...
Tulalah + Canary + Officer Parrot @ The Grace Darling.
Regardless of the shoddy weather that took over Melbourne late Thursday afternoon, there was still a crowd around the 130 mark for this intimate show at the Grace Darling. First up, new comers Tulalah commanded the audience from the very first second til the last, delivering a set of harmonies and intriguing tunes that clearly...
Video Philes – Kins + Witch Hats + Twerps + Hayden Calnin
Melbourne quartet Kins played a large role in why i started my first blog, which grew to this site. It goes without saying that i believe they are one of the finest acts to come out of Australia. A short time ago, they released a beautiful clip to their latest single off their upcoming LP, written in Brighton,...
Wolf & Cub – ‘See The Light / All Through The Night’
Adelaide’s Wolf & Cub have always been extensible in their influences and creative crafting. Two years since their second LP release, Science and Sorcery, Wolf & Cub have brought forward a double A-side single featuring the tracks ‘See The Light’ and ‘All Through The Night’. To me, this release has nailed everything i love about this band into two sublime...
The Neighbourhood Youth
A little reminiscent of The White Lies, yet substitute a little of Harry McVeigh for the likes of Orlando Weeks and you are on the right track towards the sound that Melbourne quartet The Neighbourhood Youth proliferate. After hearing some rave reviews about the lads’ performance supporting The Harpoons’ show at The Toff In Town on Australia...

Farewell to The East
While it is always sad to lose an iconic venue such as the East Brunswick Club, it is hard to be downhearted when there is such a cracking number of fantastic gigs planned for its final days. Friday 17th February sees NorthEast Party House join forces with Millions and Nantes on their Triple Treat...
Yosemite – ‘Water’
Eugene Brockmuller and Cameron Smith describe their music as minimal. The duo, who make up Melbourne project Yosemite, may be minimal in their music structure, yet they are anything but minimal in the ambiance and soundscape they create. Lulling textured beats seem to be no object for these guys. Thanks to East to West for...
The Harpoons – ‘Walk Away/Keep You Around’ EP
After their sensational release of ‘Keep You Around‘, finger clickers across the nation are rejoicing with last weeks release of The Harpoons’ EP Walk Away/Keep You Around. The funky R&B feel to this release is only heightened further by Bec Rigby’s undulating vocal ability throughout the tracks. ‘Falling For You (B-side)’ brings along a more...

This installment, you can see an 80′s Volvo being put to the test, thanks to Drunk Mums (Nice job lads).
