Flyying Colours

It’s hard to imagine a better local release will arrive this year.

Each week we track down the best new music and curate it into our 'Hit List' playlist for all our readers to enjoy. Today, we've selected our top picks of the week to celebrate the songs that stood out in the crowd.

The Melbourne-based favourites will be celebrating with dates through 'til April..

Arriving via Poison City Records, the track is another flurry of guitar-rock from the Melbourne shoegaze group that follows on from Goodtimes last year..

"Jim Reid's voice sounds just as good as it did on 'Psychocandy'."

"The Jesus & Mary Chain blow our heads off."

"Every aspect of their show forces the attention back onto the noises their instruments make and the sheer force behind it."

"It feels like the venue has been teleported to the '70s in London."

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
