Fresh Finds: Class Of 2025 – Aussie Acts To Add To Your Playlist

The Reviews Are In

Plenty of cool shit to listen to this week

Sleeping With Sirens - Feel

"Feel could rub some die-hard fans the wrong way with such a massive change in their sound, but the band have delivered their most poignant and honest release to date."

The Red Paintings - The Revolution Is Never Coming

"There is no other word to describe the sheer majestic, dynamic, out of this world orchestral sound and nature of this Brisbane quintet."

Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

"Is it foolish to expect a drastic change after such a wait? Or should be we happy the band are still making brilliant music. Online arguments are assured, but this is indeed brilliant music."

Megadeth - Super Collider

"A respectable but safe enough exercise, this may result in the long-overdue ceasing of “best album since Rust In Peace” cries that have accompanied almost every new Megadeth album over the past two decades."

Josh Pyke - The Beginning And The End Of Everything

"There's a good mix of tempos in the songs that will make for a balanced live show to please all the punters whether they come to dance or sway."

Jimmy Eat World - Damage

"Though they're unlikely to bother the charts too much here it's a guarantee tickets to their next Australian tour will be snapped up and the fans will be able to sing along to all the new songs."

Jagwar Ma - Howlin

"Howlin is an ethereal and experimental project that accomplishes an almost psychedelic throw rug effect over a genuinely inspired dream-pop base."

Disclosure - Settle

"Dance music mixed with a heaped teaspoon of emotion and soul is a winning combination and Settle is an exquisite showcase of how electronic music can be beautiful."

Seja - All Our Wires

"The follow-up album All Our Wires runs a tangent once more, but instead of chimeric pop songs there is a robustness, an assuredness that is a welcome added bow to Vogel's string."
