" This whole EP sort of feels like she's sitting down with an old friend and just kind of spilling the tea, I guess, or the coffee. It's a collection of songs that...

 This was such a great excuse to revisit such a belter of an album. It had been a few years since I'd listened to it all the way through, but man, is it bulletproof or what?

"This is some really great Australian rock..."

You just heard Only Wait by Owen Shay, who are celebrating the release of their debut album this week...

"Beautiful record, thoughtful lyrics... I dig it."

" I feel like I'm gonna listen to this vinyl while drinking red wine and having deep chats..."

 It's easy to imagine it was written in the sunshine with the ocean wafting gently on the breeze... 

"I really love Steve Kilby, truth be told..."

If you're looking for something new... homegrown sounds that you can bang on Sunday afternoon for some wax tracks and chill... It's hard to go past the debut record from Jungaji, 'Betting on Blak' ...

I think this band is at their best when they sing together... The harmonies between them are just wonderful to hear...

 I'm obsessed. Rock and roll. Super strong vocals, killer melody, stuff that just gets stuck in your head in a great way...

"I couldn't pick one favourite song...I had 3!"

I can sense that Phebe is talking about human connection and relationships and there are the themes of longing and love ...

 It's like every song on this album is like, really good, but like the next song just steps up, it just gets better and better and better. ...

I played this to a few of my friends uh last night for dinner over a few drinks,  and some of the things that my friends mentioned that they enjoyed was the nostalgia of this record and taking us back to a time, when we were a bit younger...

Their debut album jeers and sneers its way through moments of pub rock nostalgia and post punk theatre along the drive...

It's the sort of thing that I guess draws a lineage back to prog rock music from the seventies.  And that's, I guess part of their DNA in a way there's definitely hints of prog rock, prog metal synthesizer rock, kind of electronic weirdness that sort of I guess starts in the late sixties and we see it come through all sorts of music...

The album could be described as ambient dark cinematic pop which really interested me, especially the cinematic element of this....

Trovaire are electronic or a trip hop duo from Northern New South Wales. The two guys involved were separately involved in electronic music earlier in their careers. but have come together now and the Stone Fruit Sessions is their debut LP...

West Side and Baby Full Flower Moon Band have often been associated with a classic convertible driving down a long highway in Mega Flower. They are the driver, the car, the sunset, the wildflowers on the side of the road and the lover in the passenger seat...

It's fun. It's kooky. There's  lots of different vibes on this record. Lots of different moods. There's like cocktail hour stuff and Sunday morning recovery vibes. There's a little bit of sixties, guitar, sixties, garage rock and more laid back, classy cocktail vibes...

I would say one of my favourite tunes would be Spent. It's just pop plus, close second would be Apocalypse, which is the track after that, it just comes in with  lots of hooks...

Everything is very, very dynamic, very warm. It's so full for a three piece,  it's just beautiful...

We've got Butter Knife by Death Wish, which is this real, eighties throwback pop track with like beautiful FM synth tones. And I really like the syncopated vocal hook...

Hi folks. It's Tony from Neural Dust Suitcase Records just sent over this new album for a quick review after midnight...

 I was getting vibes from  everything from like psychedelic furs, Mazzy Star, that sort of early nineties stuff right through to Lucinda Williams and that old, cool  country. "

I love compilations because it is the best way to try to capture a point in time or a particular scene of bands that are getting together and are the lifeblood of the area. ...

You've got the guitars punching out, you can you feel like you're actually at their shows, the guitars are coming out of the vocals are sitting beautifully on top like the Foo Fighter vocals in places...

Her voice is so clean and well controlled and she's got an amazing range...

This really cool defiant, it's like almost anthemic. A  heavier song,  it's richer, it's deeper, ...
