Album Review: The KVB - Minus One
It swells and dives and makes the most of that ‘80s-esque synth and bass drone throughout, but especially in closer Radiant Hour.

Live Review: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Alex Cameron, East River
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are definitely a live band with a lot of energy – one you should catch sooner rather than later.

Album Review: Spiderbait - Spiderbait
In the end it all feels like it’s been done by the band before, and that they could’ve pushed some sonic boundaries or just crafted another truly great rock or pop tune.

Album Review: Lee Ranaldo & The Dust - Last Night On Earth
At times it feels morbid, with its country twang, but at others, melodic and resolutely upbeat.

Live Review: Paul Dempsey, Olympia
It seems like Dempsey knows that he has made a mark on Australian indie music, and is now content to play songs that made a mark on him.

Best In The West
"I kind of wanted to do something that was really poppy and kind of simple and catchy and straightforward. I took inspiration from both of those bands in the sense that I feel like there’s a little bit more like distortion and some higher guitar parts."

Album Review: Best Coast - Fade Away
It’s an assured album that tries to experiment a little with different sonic elements, but ultimately is very Best Coast.

Album Review: The Gooch Palms - Novo's
It’s a lo-fi album with potential, even if you only realise each song is different after repeated listens

Payseur ended the night with his own personal existential crisis, mumbling for the last couple minutes about not knowing who or where he was or where he was going, expanding a three-minute track into a ten-minute multi-layered epic.
