SINGLE REVIEW: Alpine – Dumb

It’s been a long time between releases for Melbourne indie-pop five piece, Alpine but after a four year break they are finally making their return. ‘Dumb’ is a slick indie-pop meets disco moment that sits in it’s own reflective world. With an almost psychedelic twist this song has that nostalgic groove and a stoner twist…

SINGLE REVIEW: Banks – Gimme

Returning with a bold and definitive sound, Banks makes sure that everyone is aware that she knows what she wants and what she deserves.

LIVE REVIEW: JUNGLE – THE TIVOLI

It’s only been a year in between visits for UK soul-funk outfit, Jungle, but with a new album out in the world it only seemed appropriate that they bounced back for another run of shows. Their sophomore record ‘For Ever’ hears them continuing that groovy eclectic sound that their debut record introduced and had them…

ALBUM REVIEW: P!NK – Hurts 2B Human

P!nk’s last studio album, ‘Beautiful Trauma’ was a little cookie cutter at best. It was a positive and self-aware version of herself that we hadn’t really experienced before.
