Ahead of the big day, The Music spoke with some artists exclusively releasing albums, EPs and singles for this year’s Record Store Day.

GRUB, a fierce rock outfit hailing from Perth, release a new single 'The Floor', inviting you to embrace life’s messiness.

Celebrating their 10th studio album 'Stung!', the band will hit several festivals and regional venues in the new year.

November 28th annually marks a day that is crucial to the music community: Ausmusic T-Shirt Day.

Hiatus Kaiyote, Pond, MJ Lenderman, Empress Of, and more join the tenth and final edition of Meadow.

Nick Allbrook says of Pond's brand-new album 'Stung!', "It’s got some kind of hue. But I don't think I’m bold enough a music critic to try and lock it down."

"We encourage you to spend the upcoming long weekend listening to WA's world-beating artists."
