A dreamy new single from WA outfit Our Man In Berlin.. We've been keenly following WA outfit Our Man In Berlin since first hearing their single Flight earlier this year (listen HERE), and their latest effort - Cirrhosis - makes it pretty clear why. It's dreamy, ethereal indie-pop, lying somewhere between Foals, Alt-J and Glass Animals, and it follows the aforementioned Flight and also Airhead as the third single lifted from latest EP Is It Right? But enough of my jibber jabber, just chuck your headphones and bliss out to this wonderful tune: Follow Our Man In Berlin: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Pilerats' fave $wag lord Paces chills things down for the first of a few Problems remixes.. Adelaide duo Problems are making some serious inroads into the Aussie producer scene if their new single Capture Me is anything to go by. While you can check out the original version of the tune via this wavey VIDEO CLIP, this week the focus shifts towards a pretty sweet remix package that kicked off last Friday with none other than ya boi Paces. Having a killer year himself (including recently slaying Splendour In The Grass), he had this to say of of a somewhat more subdued re-work than we're used to: "I’ve been learning some music theory lately. This is the first of a bunch of new tunes I’ve made with a slightly improved grasp on what I’m doing. Hope you vibe on it!" Well we do vibe on it mate, and you can take a listen below and download it for free via Problems' FACEBOOK, and check back this Friday when we might have a cheeky little Problems remix to premiere ourselves.

"This is our very first record!"

"You can definitely have a boogie"

The Troye Sivan express charges on with his debut EP, TRXYE, out now.. 19-year-old internet sensation Troye Sivan in the last few weeks has been proving worthy of his hype, releasing his first official single Happy Little Pill to chart-topping success, and - on a much smaller scale, obvs - crashing our own website when we were premiered this Happy Little Pill's killer remix from Melbourne trio Casper Zazz. With his debut EP TRXYE out now (buy it HERE), Troye jumped on the iPhone with us to try and get our heads around what's been a massive year for the WA-based gun: [Update - TRXYE just went to #1 in 55 countries - whoa]

Bathurst duo LOLO BX bring future R&B vibes on their new EP.. DIY, Bathurst-based bros LOLO BX have announced themselves to the Australian electronic scene with their first official two-track EP, Too Curious, out now on Die High Records. The title track is an electronic jam celebrating our current R&B resurgence, featuring the unique vocals of Chicago-based "next big thing", Mayo. The second offering, Airworks, is the perfect follow-up, rounding out a killer one-two punch for the duo following their self-released Spring EP late last year. They scored a nomination at the recent Stoney Roads Breakthrough Producer Of The Year Awards, and if Too Curious is any indication, we're looking forward to lot more from the twosome.

It’s wonky and ballsy.

"If we actually left ... I don't know what we'd write about."

Let’s go have a beer.

In just four short years Real Friends have made massive gains in the world of pop-punk. The Illinois-based quintet are one of the up and comers in the genre and their future is looking pretty bright right now. Killyourstereo.com chatted with bassist and lyricist, Kyle Fasel, about their long-awaited debut album, 'Maybe This Place is the Same and We're Just Changing', the state of pop-punk in 2014, and exceeding early expectations.

During writing, my Fender Telecaster also seemed to bring out the types of ideas I was after.
