    Parallel – Parallel (Original EP)

    Parallel’s self-titled EP is quite an impressive debut release, and a compellingly engaging listen throughout; at the same time that the songs on the EP convey the wistful feelings of isolation that listeners will surely relate to, their powerfully dreamy atmospheres also bring about a relaxing sense of tranquility. Highly recommended. 

  • BIRDMAN CULT – “FERRYMAN”

    BIRDMAN CULT – “FERRYMAN”

    “The track is a big doom laden rock anthem, an existential reflection brought on by living through a global pandemic and pending WW3”. – Birdman Cult

  • Near Death Experience “Underground”

    Near Death Experience “Underground”

    NDX have returned with a new single, “Underground,” which takes listeners on a grooving rock’n’soul adventure into an uber-cool subterranean place where “the beats get hot when the sun goes down.” As the band describes the new single, it brings to us a new musical genre: “subterranean swing!”

  • Under Neptune – “Throw All Away”

    Under Neptune – “Throw All Away”

    Being deep inside an emotional turmoil is a situation difficult to escape from. But today’s featured single is about successfully going against all odds and finding the light in what seems to be a never-ending tunnel. “Throw All Away” (pre-save now available) is a hard rock track by Under Neptune that does not shy away…

  • Amateur Ornithologist – “Hermit Phase”

    Amateur Ornithologist – “Hermit Phase”

    “I team pop melodies with lyrics that probably reveal far too much about my odd brain, harmonies you might expect from a Beach Boys and doo-wap obsessive and music that’s influenced by post-punk and indie pop of the late 70s and early 80s.” Amateur Ornithologist

  • Snakedoctors “Friday Night”

    Snakedoctors “Friday Night”

    The second verse then sees buzzing, retro-sounding synths enter the mix, their melodies and textures bringing to mind old-school electronic bands like Kraftwerk; while additional layers of synths later join in, harmonizing quite well with each other and building further on the track’s retro electronic vibe.

  • Lost Like Lions “Medicate” (feat. AJ Perdomo of The Dangerous Summer)

    Lost Like Lions “Medicate” (feat. AJ Perdomo of The Dangerous Summer)

    “‘Medicate’ is a song about being young, making mistakes, and embracing them. It’s definitely a song of nostalgia, and the days of your only worry in the world being ‘What friend group am I hanging out with tonight? And what will I be drinking for the night?’”. Lost Like Lions

  • Mothman, The Man – “The Mothman EP”

    Mothman, The Man – “The Mothman EP”

    ‘Mothman, The Man’ is a genre-hopping and sound experimentation project by a group of like-minded southwest fellas. If you’re after having your mind blown and/or an out-of-body experience, listening to ‘Mothman, The Man’ is the thing you’re after. Connor Childs

  • Staytus “Dreams From Hell”

    Staytus “Dreams From Hell”

    “For the listeners who haven’t listened to my music before, I can describe it as nu-goth, which borrows elements from industrial rock and grunge rock. It’s a journey that takes you into the mind of somebody struggling with mental illness.” Staytus

  • The Chamberlains – “Last Night in Norwich”

    The Chamberlains – “Last Night in Norwich”

    “Last Night in Norwich originated some time back as a (failed) poem I wrote in a Blue Mountains motel room, in the dark hours of one morning after watching a particularly morbid documentary. I had this crappy, 30-odd-second guitar idea I had recorded separately, and while messing around later on in my home ‘studio’, I…

  • PRTLND – “BURNED OUT”

    PRTLND – “BURNED OUT”

    “It took a long time to get mixed as I got quite peculiar with what I wanted, I had the chance of working (remotely) with a very patient mixing engineer! The lyrics (although I’m no Bob Dylan) came out in about two hours one evening, the fastest I’ve ever wrote lyrics!!” – PRTLND

  • Bellhop “Alone”

    Bellhop “Alone”

    This track was heavily based off melbournes lockdowns – being stuck inside for almost 2 years disconnected, alone, dark and feeling like my bedroom was a prison. You would have some dark days and a few euphoric high days because your brain was missing any simulation it just didn’t know what to do with itself.…
