The Central Coast lads who used to sell their music out of milk boxes have finally released their first music video.. For awhile Winterbourne curated a questionable adolescent look with slouched beanies, rolled up pant legs and bangs. But hey, we all had our regrettable life choices, I used to wear crocs and socks in public. Winterbourne have gone from painfully cringe-worthy to a bunch of guys making heartfelt, guitar-based power ballads. Indeed, Cold is no different with jingling guitars and a punchy chorus that blows up by end of the track. They've also recently released a video for Cold and it really shows much they have changed. They're no longer pretending but seem comfortable being who they are. Later this year they'll be heading on tour in support of Little May (who recently gave us an insight in to their debut EP HERE) with all their dates listed below and in the mean time you can watch a live performance of them in Adelaide, just scroll forwards to 3:20:00.

We have collected our favourite covers of 2014 for your enjoyment.

Meet WA-based outfit Late Night Hysterics and their debut single, Limerick.. Late Night Hysterics are a WA-based five-piece who impressed all who saw them earlier this year at Groovin The Moo Festival, and it's now time for the group to release their first single - Limerick. Melding shoegaze, rock and synth in an atmospheric, lush hodge podge of sound, it's a restrained piece of rolling indie-pop that will ease you gently into group's sound. Limerick's a slow burner in the truest sense, and you'll be able to catch it live when the group plays a few single launch shows around Perth this month. Check the dates following the stream, and Limerick is out now on newly launched Perth bookings/management/production/media/publicity label - Blue Grey Pink. SHOW DATES: Nov 28: The Causeway w/ They're There & Apollo's Sun (SINGLE LAUNCH) Nov 30: Osborne Park Bowls Club (BLUE GREY PINK LAUNCH) Dec 3: Prince of Wales w/ They're There + Guests Dec 4: Clancy’s Fish Pub Dunsborough Dec 6: White Star H

HYLA are one of three bands in the running to play at next year's Southbound Festival.. As part of Southbound's Stagebound competition, three acts have been chosen to go in the running for a chance to play at next year's edition of the Festival, with three media outlets each picking one to get behind. As you obviously already guessed by the header, we're backing relatively fresh outfit HYLA, who pull inlfuences from dream-pop, garage and shoe-gaze, for a sound reminiscent of shoe-gaze classics My Bloody Valentine and Jesus & Mary Chain, with a hint of newer garage-rock influences like Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees. As you can see from their press photo, they also have incredible hair, which we're jealous of. But rather than have us existing in a world of our own anxieties and fretting about how shit our hair is, here's a short Q&A to get to know the act a little better. You can vote for them HERE before 11.59 Sunday 30 November, it will take you less than a minute, and automatically puts

Shlohmo, Jerome LOL, Groundislava, feature on LA label collection.. FoF Music (Friends Of Friends Music), a collective/label from LA, have always been ahead of the game when it comes to guiding us towards left-leaning electronic sounds. Their founding philosophy and approach to releasing was even different. Driven by the philosophy that we hear about new music through friends, they have always put out tracks in a way that is not only more involving for the artist (A&R, artwork, marketing) but more importantly truly enticing for the fans, products "worth the hard earned money spent to create and purchase". In their time, FoF Music have led the charge for visionary artists like Shlohmo, Salva, LOL Boys etc., backing those artists as they were breaking (lots of Shlohmo's official back catalogue can be found in their shop). They've always put out great free compilations too, full of one-of-a-kind, forward-thinking electronic music - like Show Me The Future #1 (grab it free here) and #2 (gr

The WA-based beatmaker doth finally return.. Hometown pride runs deep around this office, and WA boy Palace is another young producer from these parts we're always excited to hear new music from. It's been a long time between drinks though - his killer remix for good mate Paces' Leave, other good mates Crooked Colours' Come Down, along with his own Slow Burn all came out ages ago - and we're very happy to report he's finally revealing a peak behind those seemingly ever-closed studio doors. What You Want is a weirder, darker direction for the producer, but we're digging, and can't wait to see what else he's been hiding from the world. Take a listen, and keep your ears peeled for new shit coming over the summer.
