The Sydney group have just announced an Australia wide headliner tour... Read More

0 Comments. 683 Views. Posted 23 May 2012 @ 12:35pm.
Triple j-backed Adelaide quintet The Salvadors launch a new single, ahead of their debut album release later this year. Sounds an awful lot like Vampire Weekend. It’s difficult to get enthusiastic about a song that is so painfully derivative. Read More

San Cisco

  Call them “awkward” as much as you like, but the simple truth is that San Cisco know how to work their magic – and they’ve proven that. Entering triple j’s Unearthed Competition because “it’s just something that you do now”, the Fremantle foursome have gone from strength to strength since uploading their song on the program. Speaking to the band’s drummer, and only female member, Scarlett... Read More

0 Comments. 922 Views. Posted 22 Feb 2012 @ 2:13pm.
After selling out their first two shows in a snap, the lads (and lass) from Snakadaktal have added a third show to their itinerary.  It'd be an understatement to say 2011 had been kind to the Melbourne locals. Snakadaktal climbed to national focus after clinching triple j's Unearthed High, which understandably precipitated an escalating tide of good fortune. Amassing ridiculous stats across... Read More

In the spirit of striking while the iron's hot, triple j darlings Snakadaktal are hitting the road once again, visiting ten cities in four weeks on their first ever national tour. It'd be an understatement to say 2011 had been kind to the Melbourne locals. Snakadaktal climbed to national focus after clinching triple j's Unearthed High, which understandably precipitated an escalating tide of good... Read More
The Charge
0 Comments. 1,089 Views. Posted 12 Jan 2012 @ 8:55am.
The Charge are a tricky band to pin down. Sure, there are elements of grunge which reveal themselves quite readily - imagine an unholy Chimera featuring parts of Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden, mixed with earlier and later sounds of Sabbath, Mastodon and QOTSA - but that doesn't tell the whole story. There's a uniqueness and directness to their compositions and delivery which definitely... Read More

We’re calling it already – Hermitude’s next album HyperParadise, set to drop next February, is set to go down as one of the best Australian releases of 2012.  Many of you would have already danced along to the sounds of lead single Speak of the Devil on Triple J, the video clip managing to scoop up the 2011 Triple J award for Australian music video of the year and piquing the...

Straight To You: Triple J’s Tribute To Nick Cave, Friday November 11 - The Forum Theatre.
0 Comments. 1,277 Views. Posted 29 Nov 2011 @ 10:21am.
It wouldn't be fair to call Straight To You a tribute show. While Nick Cave is still alive and well, it'd be more apt to dub Straight To You a 'Celebration of Life'. Cave's influence is far-reaching enough that a variety of Australian artists, spanning across genres, came together under the guidance of Cameron Bruce for a Friday night that will easily be etched in the memory...

Snakadaktal

Triple j unearthed winners and latest signing to I Oh You records, Snakadaktal seem almost too good to be true. The teenaged band are a perfect synthesis of the best lo-fi pop produced in the last decade. All strange, laid back but urgent arrangements with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics, they're at times reminiscent of the retreating wave of French pop vocalists in the tradition of air and...

On second record Speaking Volumes, Tremlett lets it all pour out. "I was definitely in a different headspace writing this album because I picked up so much about... Read More

Try and say that album title three times fast, I dare you. It's not easy, is it? It's been four years for the Brisbane trio (four long years for their fans), but finally Regurgitator are back with their ninth studio album, SuperHappyFunTimesFriends. Why that name, you ask? According to frontman, Quan, the title for the bands upcoming LP was chosen as “it seems upbeat and naïve, with a... Read More

While some have already pigeonholed electronica sensation Tim & Jean into the MGMT and Passion Pit box, one half of the duo, Jean Capotorto, claims critics are getting a little ahead of themselves. To prove them wrong, the pair are currently planning a brand new album which is set to surprise both the nay-sayers and the fans alike. “We’ve been sitting on this album [Like What] since October...

Tom Ballard

It’s hard to know whether to describe Tom Ballard as a rising star or an established pro. He’s young, sure. But he started out in comedy in the Class Clowns competition when he was fourteen. He’s got a great radio career and a substantial following of his stand-up already, but you get the feeling this is just the beginning.     Ballard’s early start at comedy meant that he found his...
