Highlight Of The Year

I'm so proud of the Australian music scene this year… Bands like Gang of Youths, Ball Park Music, Middle Kids and Winston Surfshirt are really doing us proud! I'm looking forward to what 2018 has in store. 

Prediction For 2018

I'll probably fall more in love with Anderson Paak after he graces us in Feb 2018. And I look forward to Ball Park Music releasing something. Middle Kids are gonna go worldwide.
