LIVE REVIEW: Grinspoon – The Tivoli

I could make some ridiculous pun about how everyone left the venue with a massive grin on their face after seeing Grinspoon rock The Tivoli but really I would just be stating facts. 2017 sees the iconic Australian rock band celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Guide To Better Living”. So in honour of…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sabrina Carpenter – Why

Sabrina Carpenter is incredibly underrated and that probably comes down to the fact that she’s a ex Disney starlet. People instantly don’t take these songstresses seriously once they start releasing music because they assume its going to be over manufactured bubblegum pop. And look, her debut album “Eyes Wide Open” was a bit like that…

SINGLE REVIEW: Urban Cone – Pumping Up Clouds

My Swedish favourites Urban Cone are back with the second single from their upcoming third studio album and its another bop! “Pumping Up Clouds” sees them continuing the amplified indie-pop sound they introduced with “Old School”. It’s euphoric, infectious and just an all round reflective and feel good song. It’s about looking back at a…

SINGLE REVIEW: Zedd feat. Liam Payne – Get Low

Oh great another snooze worthy Liam Payne song. Well actually, it’s Zedd’s new single and I’m just so unsure why this song has become a thing. Zedd could legitimately collaborate with any artist he wants and he chose Liam Payne?! It just feels cheap and gimmicky. It will chart no matter what because it has…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kesha – Praying

I am legitimately speechless. I have been staring at a blank page for 45 minutes trying to figure out how I am going to word this review. But it’s best put like this; it’s songs like “Praying” that remind me why I love music so much. Kesha’s struggles have been very public over the past…

SINGLE REVIEW: Saatsuma – Stay

Melbourne electronic duo Saatsuma have released an entrancing new single that channels a moody Vera Blue meets Ms Mr sound. “Stay” is a hauntingly dark track that soars with beautiful vocals and harmonies that will have you captivated and intrigued. It’s layered with honest lyrics that reflect on a break up where you are still…

EP REVIEW: In Stereo – Day In, Day Out

  There’s no denying that Sydney trio In Stereo have a massive and highly supportive fanbase. After competing on the 2015 series of The X Factor Australia and getting eliminated prematurely they have gone on to release 2 EP’s which comfortably sat in the Top 20 Aria Charts along with the ridiculously catchy track “Girlfriend”…

SINGLE REVIEW: Haneri – Burning Up

In the early 2000’s Daphne Khoo was a name that was quite familiar in Singapore after the pop protege came third on Singapore Idol in 2003 and then released her debut album in 2007 followed by a EP in 2014. But since then she’s undergone a few changes and one of them is a new…

SINGLE REVIEW: Cub Sport – O Lord

Brisbane indie-pop favourites Cub Sport had a massive 2016 that saw them touring non stop, covering Kanye West’s Ultralight Beam” on Like A Version and charting at number 24 on the highly coveted Triple J Hottest 100. INCREDIBLE. But so far they’ve had a very quiet 2017 and this is because they’ve been working on…

ALBUM REVIEW: Calvin Harris – Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1

Let me start off by saying that I really hope there is only just one volume to this album because Calvin Harris needs to return to EDM asap and step away from this sun kissed sound he’s trying to inject. “Slide” was cool. It was different, catchy and was a very different sound for him…
