SINGLE REVIEW: Justin Bieber feat. Bloodpop – Friends
“A BANGER. A TUNE. A SONG. ALL THE FEELS”.

EP REVIEW: Tempus Sun – Tempus Sun
Melbourne six piece Tempus Sun had me captivated a couple of months ago when they released their debut single “Owls”. The gradient indie-alternative meets folk track started with a simple guitar strumming which then builded with the incorporation of a coffee house piano and percussion before introducing a fulfilled sound for the chorus. The song…
