A free download from WA dreamy garage poppers Gunns, who join San Cisco around Aus' next month.. As is often with bands around these parts (and everywhere, I guess), the members who form WA dream-pop-garage-surf rockers Gunns play in a bunch of other bands.

Digressions aside, Gunns are about to join San Cisco (listen to their single HERE) on a massive national tour, and are celebrating by ever-so-kindly releasing their single The Fool for free download. Click HERE to do that, or stream it below and check all the tour dates after that.

With their Aussie tour on the horizon, Jackie O have some new free music f'ya.. Following the release of their new single NSY a couple of weeks ago (check the clip HERE), in conjunction with a tour announcement (that we're very excited to be presenting), Aussie hip hop duo and part of the One Day CREW, Jackie Onassis have some more new (free) music in One Thing. It's a typically smooth jam from a couple of cats who have steez for days, that still keeps it pretty tough on the beat.

Two of Aus' hip hop's finest get intimate via text message.. With Allday currently running around the country on his sold out tour, and Perth MC Mathas joining Joelistics on his Australian tour, we thought it was time the two got to know each other a little better. Mathas is a WA hip hop king, part of the good crew at Community Records and one of the nicest chaps you'll ever come across, while Alldeezy is scheduled in to play our own Wonderland Festival in December, which you can imagine we're quite excited about. We'll leave it over to the two wordsmiths from here, discussing hometowns, Bunbury hip hop shows and staunching in Adelaide.
