E^ST is an artist that a lot of people in the Australian music industry have been talking about over the past year.

SINGLE REVIEW: P!NK – Beautiful Trauma

There’s no hiding that P!nk’s latest single “What About Us” was a bit of a flop on the charts. Yes, it still went number one but the impact was significantly less than her previous lead singles. It quickly got wiped off the top of the charts a week later by Taylor Swift and hasn’t reclaimed…

SINGLE REVIEW: Banks – Underdog

“The Altar” was one of the best records of 2016 and Banks has spent the majority of this year playing those songs to sold out crowds across the world. So how has she had time to record new music? I have no idea but “Underdog” is the fiery new track that sees her once again…

SINGLE REVIEW: Ecca Vandal – Future Heroine

The truth is, you can’t place Ecca Vandal in any category. The genre defying artist from Melbourne has created a unique fusion of rock, hip-hop, punk, pop, ska and electronica that you will find hard to describe to anyone other than “oh, that’s just Ecca Vandal”. Citing influence from Gwen Stefani you can hear early…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cardi B – Bodak Yellow

I like to think I’m pretty in the loop when it comes to music but over the past couple of weeks I’ve found myself questioning multiple times “who the fuck is Cardi B” and “why is everyone going ape shit crazy about her?”. So turns out the New York reality TV star turned rapper has…

SINGLE REVIEW: Rika – No Need

At only 17 years old London based singer/songwriter RIKA has delivered a very memorable debut single. “No Need” is the infectious “no hate” pop track that we need in the world right now. Starting with basic keys, finger clicks and a cool pop beat the song launches into a massive chorus that amplifies the roots…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sampson – Shake The Fire

After listening to “Shake The Fire” for the first time I only had two questions. 1. Who is Sampson? 2. Where has she been hiding?! The Canadian songstress left me impressed, in awe and wanting more after listening to her debut single. The vibey track channels a production style similar to Vera Blue and Maggie…

LIVE REVIEW: In Stereo – Old Museum

  In stereo don’t like being referenced to as a boyband and they proved why they deserve more than that title at their Brisbane headline show. Ever since being finalists on The X Factor Australia in 2015 the trio have released three EP’s, toured the country multiple times and have an army of loyal fans…

LIVE REVIEW: Beer InCider Experience – RNA Showgrounds

It’s officially spring and the sun is shining, the temperatures are closer to summer territory and you no longer want to spend the weekend indoors. So what better way to spend a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon than by drinking a cold beer or cider in the sun with some kick ass live music? Well…

ALBUM REVIEW: Macklemore: Gemini

It’s important that people realise that this isn’t a Macklemore & Ryan Lewis record and that it is in fact a solo Macklemore album. Even though the sound isn’t that drastically different “Gemini” offers a personal voice while still giving you that quirkiness you’ve come to know and love over the years. Let me start…
