- Tom Lyngcoln has spent the past couple of decades fashioning some sort of musical career out of his stark, brutal, often bleak and occasionally beautiful songwriting and guitar-wrangling, most notably with aggro-rock trio The Nation Blue, and more recently with the gospel-punk sextet Harmony (with some occasional forays into other projects such as Pale Heads).

- Sleep Decade are a three-piece that hail from somewhere between Melbourne and Geelong, made up of two brothers and a close friend. The strong, indeed familial relationship between the three becomes increasingly evident over the course of their new record, with its sparse, yet still incredibly lush atmosphere.  Where spacious electronic textures and gorgeously melodic guitar parts make you feel as if you’re three feet off of the ground, the tight, repetitive, minimalist beats and simple, emotive bass-lines keep you planted firmly on the floor.

- Primitive Motion is a Brisbane based duo who first combined to produce sonic landscapes around seven years ago.  Their third full-length album is called House in the Wave, released through the Bedroom Suck label.
