THEATRE REVIEW: Kinky Boots – QPAC

Kinky Boots is the musical that Australia needs right now. Behind all the sequins, red costumes (not burgundy) and dazzling musical numbers there is a heartfelt story of acceptance. The award winning musical started its Australian run of dates in Melbourne last year and after travelling to Sydney the show has finally opened its doors…

SINGLE REVIEW: Alex Lahey – Lotto In Reverse

Australian newcomer Alex Lahey has quickly become a favourite in my books. Her quirky alternative-rock meets pop fusion saw her place number 97 on last years Triple J Hottest 100 with the infectiously brilliant “You Don’t Think You Like People Like Me”. Her debut album “I Love You Like A Brother” will finally be released…

ALBUM REVIEW: Fifth Harmony – Fifth Harmony

They may now only be a four piece but Fifth Harmony are stronger and more in-sync as a group than ever before. On their third studio album the group showcases an impressive maturity and growth with their tight harmonies and equal share of solo’s. However the songs themselves lie a little flat. They sound rushed…

With the release of their fourth studio album only a couple of weeks away Angus And Julia Stone have returned with a mesmerising new single. “Chateau” is the perfect follow up to “Snow” as it continues their dreamy alternative-pop sound as well as providing a radio and festival ready hook. Beginning with only a strumming…

Astrid S is really blowing up in the pop world at the moment. The Norwegian songstress only released her second EP “Party’s Over” a month ago and she already has a new single out in the world. “Think Before I Talk” is a polished pop track that takes a leaf out of Zara Larsson’s book…

INTERVIEW: The Getaway Plan

The Getaway Plan have been a pretty integral name in the Australian punk scene over the past 10 years. Their empowering fusion of rock and punk with lyrics of hope, holding on and emotional hardship have spoken volumes with listeners spanning over three records. With the 10 year anniversary of their debut album “Other Voices,…

LIVE REVIEW: Vera Blue – The Triffid 

Vera Blue is one of Australia’s most exciting newcomers. Her unique fusion of folk, electronic and pop has come to life over the past couple of years which saw her cement a bold sound on her debut album “Perennial”. She impressed with it’s emotional vulnerability and electrifying production. The album was split into 3 chapters…

SINGLE REVIEW: Taylor Swift – Look What You Made Me Do

Taylor Swift is arguably one of the biggest names in music. She’s won 10 Grammy awards, had two sold out stadium tours on top of two sold out arena tours and has massively re-invented her whole sound and image. It’s been 3 years since she released the record breaking “1989” and she’s preparing to do…
