Sometimes it's okay to look back.

Label State has made it simple for DJs, producers, bands and even festivals and community radio stations to share their wearable artwork with the world.

Love seeing live music? So do we! We thought we'd dedicate an article to the Sydney venues that allow us to see our favourite musicians each week.

MOVEMENT began just under two years ago as high school mates Sean Walker and Jesse James Ward, who used to write music and go to festivals together.

"All my other albums had multiple producers. This record was the first time I’ve worked with one producer from start to finish."

"We were definitely going for that slick, well-played pop sound. Your recorded stuff shouldn’t be like the live show. If you’re a good live band, the live show should always be better."

"Pop writers create these long-lasting songs – songs that stay with people – we’d love to do that in Tigertown, make the sort of music that really lasts."

"I’ve stayed in bands in the past where we didn’t have management or a good network of people around us and it’s really easy to go nowhere."

"The way things are done these days is so different. We had four years off but the industry has changed so quickly."

"We take one day off a week usually [though] days off really don’t help because we usually drink more on those days by accident."
