Stepping out of the spotlight and escaping to the isolated mountains of Arita, Japan to work on their third studio album was probably the best decision Last Dinosaurs could have made. This Brisbane trio have returned with a collection of bright and punchy indie-rock tracks with a experimental psychedelic twist. It was here they re-found…

SINGLE REVIEW: Major Lazer feat Tove Lo – Blow That Smoke
2018 has been a bit of a quiet year for Tove Lo which is a little bit surprising after she only brought out an album at the end of last year and didn’t seem to really do any touring for it except for playing a couple of festivals. Instead she’s been in the studio working…
SINGLE REVIEW: Sasha Sloan – Chasing Parties
Your favourite sad girl of 2018 has yet another song for you to drink your feelings to. Or cry to. Whatever floats your boat. But what is for certain is that Sasha Sloan is an incredibly deep and powerful songwriter. She has this natural ability to write so vulnerably but deliver it in such an…
SINGLE REVIEW: Thomston – The Heights
Earlier this year New Zealand singer-songwriter, Thomston delivered one of my low-key favourite pop tracks of 2018. ‘Acid Rain’ was a minimalistic indie-pop moment about realising someone is bad for you and learning to let go. The production elevated an empowering vibe whilst still being vulnerable, emotional and catchy. Returning with yet another bold track, he shares…
INTERVIEW: Eves Karydas
In the midst of glittery, synth-soaked production comes a very vulnerable and intimate story of love, loss and self reflection. Eves Karydas’ debut album ‘summerskin’ is an intimate affair that at moments does feel like an open page to the most personal pages of her diary. After returning to the music industry late last year…
INTERVIEW: Rudimental
Rudimental are responsible for some of the catchiest drum and bass and pop electronica crossovers from the past six years. They’ve collaborated with some of the UK’s biggest acts including Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande, Ella Eyre, John Newman and Dizzee Rascal. But now the four piece are going absolutely international with the release of their recent single…

Disco never dies and Boney M returned to Australia for a massive greatest hits tour to remind everyone just that. With a packed Brisbane crowd at Eatons Hill Hotel dressed in their best retrospective disco outfits, they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the iconic group to kick off their rainy Friday night in style….
GALLERY: Trophy Eyes – The Tivoli
Trophy Eyes have come a long way since the release of their debut album in 2014. Over the years the Newcastle five piece have toured the world and even been apart of two Vans warped Tours which is a massive feat for an Australia punk-rock band. In August 2018, the band finally released their third…
ALBUM REVIEW: Morgan Evans – Things That We Drink To
It’s not often that an Australian country artist successfully cracks the American market but after years of persistence Morgan Evans has finally made it happen. With ‘Kiss Somebody’ recently comfortably sitting at the top of the charts, it only seems appropriate that the Newcastle singer-songwriter finally releases his debut album. ‘Things That We Drink To’…
ALBUM REVIEW: Jess Glynne – Always In Between
It’s been three years since Jess Glynne released her triumphant debut album ‘I Cry When I Laugh’ and introduced herself to listeners as a powerful vocalist with a lot to say. Her long awaited sophomore record hears her further exploring that sound she originally introduced with a bit more of a RNB and funk flavour…
