It’s been hard to avoid the refrain “Don’t blame me blame Brett. Blame my ex” when scrolling social media over the past couple of months. The tongue in cheek writing deservingly struck a chord with listeners as it was playfully honest and had this unique perspective when you dived deeper into it. And The Beaches…

INTERVIEW: K.FLAY
“We were kind of on a little cliffhanger of my own life.” K.FLAY candidly admits when opening up about her diagnosis with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss. It came out of nowhere, and for a moment she questioned if she was ever going to be able to make music again. But she found the eagerness inside…
INTERVIEW: Valley
Let me set the scene; It’s a few hours before Valley goes on stage for their first ever show in Sydney. The Canadian indie-pop four-piece are in Australia for a whirlwind debut tour of the country following a run of dates in Asia, and have spent a whole day doing back-to-back press. I walk into…
INTERVIEW: Tia Gostelow
After having a bit of experimentation on her sophomore album “CHRYSALIS”, Tia Gostelow has approached her third studio album “Head Noise” with a sense of clarity.

INTERVIEW: Katelyn Tarver
“What if?” is probably the most human question we ask ourselves. It’s so easy to get caught in a spiral while you overthink how a situation may have turned out if you did one thing differently, but at the end of the day there is nothing you can do as we aren’t time travelers. But…
INTERVIEW: Forever Ends Here
Pop-punk is alive and well!

INTERVIEW: Cry Club
Cry Club have found themselves. It’s quite clear from listening to their stellar sophomore record “Spite Will Save Us” (out now) in full that this is the case. There is a radiating confidence that shines throughout from the opening screams of “Get Up!!!” right through to the high octane energy of closing track “I Want…
INTERVIEW: Charley
Heartbreak is traumatising, and there’s no hiding that. But it’s also a key part of your coming-of-age years, and can teach you so much about yourself. “You’d rather love someone and go through all the emotions than not, and restrict yourself” Australian rising pop artist Charley admits while pondering how heartbreak has impacted her as…
