Briztronix: IV
- I can’t think of the last time I heard a new record with turntablism on it. I’d also say you probably don’t remember the name Briztronix at all. Comprising DJ Bacon, Ben Eltham and RUFFLES, these gents were key players in the electronic and hip hop scene in -you guessed it- Brisbane, in the first decade of the 2000s.
Peter Bibby: Grand Champion
- Grand Champion is the second album of kooky indie-rock from West Australian singer-songwriter Peter Bibby. Over recent years, Australian alternative rock has come to be led by a group of songwriters who talk-sing their way through stories inspired by the minutiae of everyday life. Paul Kelly is the spiritual ancestor of the style, and these days is like the grandfather gathering the kids around for story time.
New War: Coin
- New War first sashayed stylishly out of the shadows down in Melbourne, back in 2013. They’re a ratio of one-part American -vocalist Chris Pugmire of short-lived, messy Seattle punks Shoplifting- to three parts Aussie: drummer Steve Masterson formerly of gritty post-punks Bird Blobs, keysman Jesse Shepherd of Sir and bassist Melissa Lock who is the vital connection, bringing it all together thanks to time served in both Shoplifting and Bird Blobs.
The Cassingles
Forming in 2008, The Cassingles have their own unique blend of punk and goth. From their first release Who Killed Kathy? in 2009 to their latest A Symphony of Horrors in 2020, their crafting of fast funny punk songs and dark murder ballads has evolved with them. Get down into the grave with The Cassingles!

The National Congress of Australia’s First People have vocalised criticism as a result of Prime Minister Scott Morrison disregarding a proposal for an Indigenous voice to parliament.
