If you’re going to bet on any Australian band to make it big overseas at the moment, you will probably put bets on The Temper Trap (if not, then maybe the Rubens). They are a band who just get it. They have mastered the stadium rock sound, they’ve got hits, their stage show is on…

The Red Hot Chili Peppers is undoubtedly a name you’re very familiar with and whether you love or hate their ridiculous songs you can’t deny their insane talent. For their eleventh studio album the funk-rock four piece has approached this record with a softer approach. With minimal “rapping techniques” lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis actually sings…

My favourite headline for this Friday was something along the lines of “Christina Aguilera Releases New Song For Victims Of Orlando Shooting”. At that moment my body had a bit of a seizure, the tears were in place and I was ready to go to church. “Change” is a touching tribute to the victims of…

Bastille are no strangers to the top ten charts and I’m going to take a little guess that after multiple of their songs from “Bad Blood” made it up there that they want to continue that success. “Good Grief” is the first single from their forthcoming sophomore studio album “Wild World” and while it has…

It’s been 4 years since we have had new music from Usher, so it’s a bit overdue and what better way to make a comeback than releasing two new singles. “Crash” and “No Limit” give you a contrast of two classic Usher sounds. “No Limit” focuses on the trap/R&B roots his music has always embodied….

I’m genuinely a sucker for ballads and I get really excited about the emotional moments but the thing is when you hear something special you just know it. Jarryd James’ new pop gem featuring New Zealand hitmakers Broods is a track you need to become acquainted with. “1000x” is a beautifully produced, moody ballad that…

Nick Jonas’ debut solo record was a strong collection of pop and R&B infused tracks that unsurprisingly gained a lot of comparisons to Justin Timberlake. Over the past year he launched his own label with Demi Lovato called Safehouse Records and explained how he wanted to have creative control over his music and become more…

The Veronicas are continually evolving as artists and their forthcoming fourth studio album will see them delve into heavier experimentation. They debuted a dark new song at their preview show on the Gold Coast called “Best Friend” which had gritty guitars and smooth harmonies reminiscent of Lana Del Rey. “I’m still in love with your…

I’m a lover of good pop music and 20 year old Sydney based songstress Lucy Neville gives you just that. Her debut EP “Lady” was incredibly impressive and massively under appreciated. Her indie-pop meets synth pop could be easily compared to Ellie Goulding but shouldn’t be limited to because her versatility is unique and is…

Ditching the alternative pop rock sound and delving into the realm of synth pop Ladyhawke’s new direction is a massive departure from 2012’s forgettable “Anxiety”. And you probably didn’t even realise that she released an album in 2012 because that’s how much attention it received. Before entering the studio for her third album she gave…
