Central Coast musician Jacob Borg dives deep into some emotional musical territory the likes of The National have well traversed with his new Berlin Bar Hounds single, “Heights”.

Taking a galactic approach, Sydney’s Gaspar Sanz bring us their new music video for “Watch You Go”. Taken from the band’s self-titled debut EP, the song itself builds on great electronic production, while the guitar and vocals highlight the same type of swag bands like The Delta Riggs inspire.

Melbourne’s punk scene is revered, and with good reason. There’s a certain something to the punk bands that it breeds – it’s not quite a particular sound, look, message nor attitude, but a kind of amalgamation. White Vans fall into that quintessentially Melbourne sound, and today we’re bringing you an exclusive listen of their debut EP, Economic Trends….

The Weary are not wearisome at all, rather a dreamy bunch of Melbourne musicians making some equally dreamy guitar pop. Their music is slinky and guitar fuelled, inspiration drawn from Bruce Springsteen to Beach House. Their latest single, “Patti Smith”, is accompanied by a musing, voyeuristic film clip, directed by guitarist Josh Van Cuylenburg. It follows two young Melbourne…

Sydney’s Brother Brad return with another ear-catching single in “Digital Revolution”, a melodic and easy-to-immerse-in pop track that leans back into the band’s roots foundations. Vibrant and to the point, “Digital Revolution” opines for the simplicity of making connections with others in person as opposed to via an app or screen. It’s a straight forward message and…

Melbourne’s Self Talk first garnered our attention during some sweeps of triple j Unearthed last year; their indie pop/rock sensibilities were quick to shine and stand above the rest.
