But with the release of his 24th studio album ‘Nature’ he has successfully cemented himself as one of the country’s leading voices. His songwriting is very unlike anyone else as he vividly tells stories from his life,…

ALBUM REVIEW: Judah Kelly – Real Good Time
After winning The Voice Australia in 2017, Judah Kelly had some massive expectations to live up to. And whilst he could have gone down so many different avenues and released something really mainstream or tried to release something that would’ve been guaranteed to climb the charts he’s instead just gone with his heart and soul….
ALBUM REVIEW: MO – Forever Neverland
The wait for the official release of MO’s sophomore studio album has been an especially lengthy and frustrating one. With a series of public delays, push-backs and album re-starts it was a fair enough assumption that people started to question if we would ever hear it. But with minimal promotion ‘Forever Neverland’ is officially here…
ALBUM REVIEW: RUFUS DU SOL – Solace
With the massive success of their second studio album ‘Bloom’, Sydney three piece Rufus Du Sol have returned with a bright collection of experimental electronic songs. ‘Solace’ hears them stepping further into the DIY world they flourished in previously but with a bit more of a polished layer. This short but sweet record has been…
ALBUM REVIEW: Total Giovanni – Euphoria
The 80’s seemed like a great time to be alive for so many reasons. From the cheesy movies, to the iconic fashion to even the harmonic sense of freedom. But the biggest reason would have to be the music. There’s no denying that the 80’s had some of the best pop-rock music of all time…

LIVE REVIEW: Bob Evans – Black Bear Lodge
Versatility is Kevin Mitchell’s biggest strength and with over 21 years in the industry he has learnt to express that in many different ways. One of the biggest comes from his solo project which he created the pseudonym Bob Evans to perform under. This was a massive departure from the grunge rock sound of his…
LIVE REVIEW: Cheap Trick – The Tivoli
Some of your favourite acts from the 70’s and 80’s tour to relive their hay-day whilst other bands tour because they are still in their prime and Cheap Trick are one of those rare acts.

SINGLE REVIEW: Zara Larsson – Ruin My Life
I think it’s fair to say that Zara Larsson’s first worldwide studio album ‘So Good’ was one of the most underrated releases of 2017. The album came as the hype started to calm down from her mega hits that dominated the charts and the impact she made with the record was a lot less than…
SINGLE REVIEW: Billie Eilish – When The Party’s Over
I’m just going to say it, Billie Eilish is a little overrated. The sixteen year old singer-songwriter impressed with her vulnerable releases ‘Ocean Eyes’, ‘Bellyache’ and ‘Watch’ which showcased a maturity beyond her years. But after finding out that her songs are actually written and produced by her older brother, I felt a little cheated…
