Sydney’s Catcall (Catherine Kelleher) returns with a brand new single to soundtrack the summer. Satellites is taken from her highly anticipated debut album The Warmest Place, due out February 2012.
Boasting sun-drenched synths, a pulsing heartbeat and shades of light and dark, Satellites is a warm hit of nostalgia-tinged astral pop.
Catcall’s most ambitious track to date, Satellites is a fair indication of what to expect from her debut album.
- attitude and sass filtered through the disco pop sounds

Adding sass to the smoky, sultry sounds of a bygone era, Lanie Lane (pronounced “Lannie”) is an undeniable talent who draws on the past and plants it firmly in present.
‘Ain’t Hungry’ is a fuzz bass sassed stomp number with Jack White's undeniable influence.

| Sparkadia - Mary Pop, Rock | 16/05/2011 |
Somewhere in between art rock and wistful pop lie Sparkadia.
Mary continues to highlight Alex Burnett’s uncanny ability to pen consistent huge pop hits, laden with epic choruses and more hooks than a squid lure. Mary sees Burnett step into gospel robes and pump out a pentecostal powerhouse that would fit well in the church halls of the deep south.
| Lanie Lane - Like Me Meaner Blues, Rockabilly, Swing, Pop | 13/04/2011 |
Lanie Lane sings with the elbow grease of getting the job done and the sweetness of an old time Southern Belle. Sweet and sexy, naughty and nice, sugar and spice…
“Like Me Meaner” is a saucy, swampy number, written and sung by Lanie Lane with old guitars, double bass and a whole lot of dirty percussion driving it along.

Lanie Lane (pronounced "Lanny") is a hotpot of Blues, Jazz, Pop & Country from golden eras of the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s, placed firmly into a modern context.
Lanie’s debut single “What Do I Do” is an ode to the necessary evils of dead end jobs supporting loftier ambitions. It arrives on the back of a sack of coins and a double bass line that heralds in THAT voice, it's part chant, part stomp, part stripped back anthem.

A perfect introduction into the world of Alpine, with a thunderous steady beat, set aside hasty paced rhythm guitar and the electric binary duel female lyrics of front girls Phoebe Baker and Lou James - packing a punch with an exceptionally powerful chorus and instantly cementing a wandering attention span.
