Live Review: Boys Boys Boys!, Boom! Pap Pow!, 44th Sunset, Wasabi Peas
The band had us partying like it was 1999 and come the end of the show we were left quite simply with the hope that the band would continue to bring to us these parties for years to come yet.

Sky's The Limit
"I’ve been a writer since as long as I can remember. At six, seven years old, my grades in English were always an A+. For me, plans A, B and C were always music."

Live Review: Jinja Safari, 44th Sunset, Bedouin Sea
All in all, things couldn’t have gone better for the group’s album launch show, and with so many fantastic songs to sing and dance to we hope this release is just one of many more to come.

Album Review: Savages - Silence Yourself
It’s upfront, it’s real, it’s confronting, and as a debut release, it is certainly one of the most exciting pieces of music we will see come out of this year.

Live Review: Frenzal Rhomb, Tikdoff, Leeches
It’s difficult to complain about that, though; it was loud, rowdy and good old fashioned drunken fun. Just a typical Frenzal Rhomb show!

Flying High
"Kaskade’s been the biggest help for me; he was the one who broke me into America back in 2011, and he’s invited me to be a warm-up DJ for him."

Live Review: Surecut Kids, Black & Blunt, Tee El, Bezwun, Dead Easy
The two were obviously aware of their success in the charts, playing a mix of some of their latest and greatest hits, including a remix of Disclosure’s White Noise or, their work on the latest release from Kid Kenobi’s label.

Live Review: Trigger Jackets, Royston Vasie, Mezzanine, Further Earth, Apache
The cheer continued to ring in the air after the band played their final track, and it was wonderful to see a Perth-dominated bill garner so much support. I’m sure the TJ boys will be feeling on top of the world.

Album Review: No Joy - Wait To Pleasure
While Ghost Blonde was sticky, immersive and overwhelming, Wait For Pleasure composes of 11 11 distinct, tactile sensations that seem totally opposed yet placed consecutively.

"We’ve operated this way for 12 years; it’s not something we can change, so it’s not worth complaining about. We wouldn’t really have it any other way.”

Jane's Junction
"I’ve been visiting some really interesting places on tour; I haven’t really done the regular U.S/Europe thing. This year it was definitely the intriguing bits that were the highlights.”
