Introducing: Dead Language
Meet Sydney artist Dead Language and check a premiere of his new track.. With three demos on his Soundcloud Dead Language appears like the millions of people who can strum a guitar into to something that vaguely resembles a song. But that's where the comparisons end. Amidst the rough nature of these three tracks Dominic Price's pseudonym Dead Language has created something meaningful to hold onto in a world of rush. Within these three demos, Price shows off his punchy ballads, jabbing synths amongst the haymaker which is his deep voice that weaves out in front of the track crying for attention. Where this man will go next, I can't say but to be only a year out of school and crafting something like deserves attention.  Furthermore, we're happy to premiere Dead Language's newest track, I Hope He Knows, which is a soaring synth-pop anthem in the making. Opening with a bullish beat that's craftily spliced against Price's lyrics it's near intoxicating. Throughout the track there's a sense o

Video Interview: Broods
In what's been a massive year for NZ duo Broods, we chat albums and teleportation.. Here to prove New Zealand isn't just responsible for one pop starlet in Lorde, Georgia and Caleb Nott have had an equally impressive 12 months following the release of their self-titled debut EP earlier this YEAR. After their hype-affirming set at this year's Splendour In The Grass, Broods have just returned from an American tour celebrating the release of their debut album Evergreen, which has also included supporting the likes of international heavyweights like Sam Smith (along with HAIM and Chrvches supports to come). They're back in Australia next month to play a few headline shows, and we went duck-hunting with them at Splendour, before catching an increasingly rare smaller show with them in Perth a couple of months back. Check the dates after our little chat below: EVERGREEN TOUR DATES: Sat 22 Nov: The Metro, Sydney (TICKETS) Sun 23 Nov: The Metro, Sydney (TICKETS) Wed 26 Nov: The Forum, Melbourn

New: Pond - Elvis' Flaming Star
The WA psych-rockers go Ziggy Stardust on us, and announce a new album.. One of the most prolific outfits to ever come out of Australia, let alone WA, Pond have announced details for their upcoming sixth studio album, born from the group and a parade of friends taking a couple months worth of mountains of tape stitched together to form Man It Feels Like Space Again. The LP will live up to its wonder-filled title with a collection of warm and fuzzy psychedelic gems, some kind of cosmic mish-mash of The Flaming Lips, MGMT and Supergrass, starting with the single you can listen to/watch below - Elvis' Flaming Star. It drops the heavier-rock vibes we got from their previous album, with an almost '70s-glam-Bowie era rock-pop, that's pretty awesome. They're on tour in the US at the moment, but you can catch them at St Jerome's Laneway Festival NEXT YEAR, just after the new album drops on January 23. Follow Pond: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
