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

This Week's Releases

New albums from Bon Chat, Bon Rat, Entombed A.D., Emma Henney and more

Bon Chat, Bon RatBurning Palms EP (Independent)

The eclectic Sydney-bred duo will drop their eagerly awaited new EP, Burning Palms, on Monday, in the wake of a veritable ream of praise from all corners of the internet for Escapism, their recently released follow-up single to the EP's title track, which first made itself known to audiences back in October last year. This one's been a while coming, so expect voracious purchases from the band's faithful the second it drops.

Entombed A.D. Back To The Front (Century Media)

Entombed offshoot Entombed A.D. — the result of a messy naming dispute among two distinct line-ups of what was supposed to be one band — will release their first studio full-length under that moniker (and tenth all up) this coming week. Will it mark a brave new era for the Swedish death-metal veterans? The Music's Christopher H James wasn't sold.

Emma HeeneyAfter The Fireworks (MGM)

The sophomore effort from well-travelled troubadour Emma Heeney finds her in a markedly darker and more sophisticated realm than the one in which she dabbled on her 2006 release Dreaming Of Bridges. Taking strides away from the light-footed pop that permeated her earlier work, Heeney is all set to impress a whole ream of new ears when After The Fireworks drops on August 5.
