The Music 2017 Writers' Poll: Mark Beresford

Live Review: Tash Sultana, Pierce Brothers, Willow Beats

"Her performance was entrancing to watch, working with a mindset like that of a DJ, she takes her dense instrumentals and stretches out key moments to create a winsome sound that engages all that sit in awe."

Live Review: Something For Kate, Slowly Slowly

"The full throttle intro of 'Anarchitect' signalled Something For Kate were in Perth once again and brought instant delight."

Live Review: The Tea Party

"The evening was a solid reminder of why The Tea Party are choosing to embrace these early records in full."

Live Review: CW Stoneking

"Stoneking's powerful voice filled out any gaps left by his absent band or his recently acquired distaste for harmonica and banjo, neither of which could diminish the songs at heart."

Live Review: Pond, Body Type, Reef Prince

"It was clear that this was the world of Pond. We were merely invited into it for a moment."

Divinyls' WA Gig Was An Invigorating Tribute To Chrissy Amphlett

"The reformation paid a fitting tribute."

Live Review: Grinspoon, Hockey Dad, Good Boy

"They are still every bit the band that you wouldn't dare miss on a festival bill."

Live Review: Sarah McLeod, Danni Stefanetti

"Her set list might have swapped between her solo records as she went, but it's most recent releases that garnered the best reception."
