GALLERY: Mayday Parade – The Tivoli

SINGLE REVIEW: The Kid LAROI – Thousand Miles
The Kid LAROI is in superstar mode, and he’s quickly become one of the biggest Australian exports before even releasing his debut album. ‘Stay’ featuring Justin Bieber was undoubtedly one of the biggest (and best) tracks of 2021, and he’s ready to continue that trajectory with his first release of the year. ‘Thousand Miles’ comes…
SINGLE REVIEW: Sigrid feat. Bring Me The Horizon – Bad Life
I did not have a Sigrid and Bring Me The Horizon collaboration on my 2022 bingo card, but I’m very glad it happened.

LIVE REVIEW: Methyl Ethel – Fortitude Music Hall
Methyl Ethel has been trying to tour for the past two years, but leaving Western Australia proved to be an issue with all of the lockdowns. So his Brisbane show at Fortitude Music Hall marked Jake Webb (aka Methyl Ethel) and his band’s first gig out of the 6000 postcode, and it felt like a…

With releases like ‘Surprise!’ and ‘Party…ahaha’ following suit, he’s captivated listeners with expansive soundscapes that bridge the…
