| The Autumn Isles - Mystery To Hide Rock, Pop | 03/05/2012 |
The Autumn Isles present an infectious batch of songs on debut album Kaleidoscopes, which displays their musicianship and artistic vision, and above all a love of timeless pop music.
Lyrically, this song explores an aspect of yourself that remains hidden, like a conscious of your higher self, and how that aspect imitates your life.
Other tracks by The Autumn Isles: Throwing Stones - Leave It All Behind
| Wilding - I’ll Love You Until Monday Morning Pop, Psychedelic, Britpop | 01/05/2012 |
Wilding’s playful pop experimentation delights in slyly curling melodies and frank, if at times absurdist, lyrics about love and desire. Now imagine distinctly British-flavoured songs from psychedelic-era Abbey Road studios.
When love is just a weekend away...
‘I’ll Love You Until Monday Morning’ is a Beatlesque sing-a-long pop gem with a harmonious ending of swirling guitars and interlaced vocals.
...’I remember your clothes, slipping to the floor. I remember the knocks, through the walls, from next door’...

Bambino Koresh is for fans of classic pop / rock bands such as Big Star and early 70s Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
It's about feeling utterly lonely, without your love. The moment after he/she just left. And that feeling of hopelessness.
Other tracks by Bambino Koresh: Terracotta Warrior - Campbell
| Charlie Horse - Dead Roses Rock | 28/02/2012 |
……“If Lucinda Williams had ever jammed with The Pretenders, I suspect it would have sounded a little like this – tasty.” whereangelsfear Tumbler.com
Dead Roses, a seemingly innocent slow waltz ballad but upon further listens it reveals the sinister side of the singers intentions. She seems to have accepted that there is no happy way out of this and is determined to take the object of her desire with her.
Other tracks by Charlie Horse: Am I Not Your Baby No More - I Killed My Mind

| Transat - Theo Rock, Folk, Garage | 30/01/2012 |
We are Transat. We like Deckchairs and feedback. These were recorded across the Invasion Day weekend in the mysterious hidden valley of Mill Creek. Soothing tones caress your blackened soul.
Theo is a loser but he does a good quart. Theo is infused with lilting, stoner, country energy which will make you feel good to be a outsider on the road to nowhere.
Other tracks by Transat: On a Day Like Today - Theo (Radio Edit)

| Jamie Hutchings - Smoky Dawson Blues/Roots, Alternative Country | 25/01/2012 |
As leader one of Australia's most critically acclaimed rock bands, Bluebottle Kiss, Jamie Hutchings has written and released over 140 songs, toured relentlessly in Australia, the US and Europe.
With its stuttering rhythm interspersed with clattering percussion "Smoky Dawson" eulogizes the late Australian Country & Western singer. A meditation on a time and culture fast becoming forgotten against the speed and self absorption of today. There is a bucolic rustiness to its production with Hutchings' trademark blazing guitar solos.
Other tracks by Jamie Hutchings: Ned Kelly Indoors - Slack Magic
| Bryan Estepa - Hard Habits Rock, Pop, Alternative Country, Folk | 17/01/2012 |
Bryan Estepa is an acclaimed Sydney Singer-Songwriter, who has been labelled as one of Sydney's best kept secrets.
Hard Habits is a song about a persons insecurities and even failures within their relationships but an always willingness to continue to make it work. Ultimately, it’s an optimistic song about the trials and tribulations of a love affair but always believing in the good that it inevitably brings.

| Miss Little - The Overflow Pop, Electronic, Rock, Jazz | 11/01/2012 |
Sarah grew up in Murrays Bay, Auckland and made a name for herself as an award winning choral composer. "She possesses a very strong distinctive voice." Neil Finn
Is a song in 2 parts as opposed to a verse chorus structure. The idea was to have a beautiful start and an almost ugly, distorted finish to reflect the lyrics sudden change in mood. This song is a good reflection of the overall album which explores this duality throughout.

| Sam Shinazzi - Movie Of Your Life Rock, Roots | 10/01/2012 |
A review said he was the "indie Springsteen" which made him very happy. When Reviewers and punters have compared Sam’s sound, Evan Dando always comes up, as does Elliott Smith.
This song was born on a rooftop in Newtown. Someone asked me to write a song about them. We played the game 'who would you get to play you, in the movie of your life'. It’s not about the friend afterall, but without this night occuring it may not have been written.

| Bill Jackson - Three Sheets To the Wind Country, Alternative Country | 13/12/2011 |
Not your typical Aussie folkie. He could be from Austin or Charlottesville or Nashville. He writes songs which transcend place and time and while folk in basis, step beyond
Musically this is a ‘nod to Bob’ and that highway that drives us. The tune came to me after a heavy week of listening to ‘Blonde on Blonde’ and fooling around with the country blues in open D tuning.

| Suzy Connolly - Antony Pop, Rock, Folk | 01/12/2011 |
Songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Suzy Connolly is a musical powerhouse who tells it like it is. An alternative pop lover’s dream - soaring gems with influences from ‘surf’ to ‘beatlesque’
A driving, alternative pop ditty, full of melodic hooks, sweetness, attitude and tongue in cheek.
Inspired by the true story of a girl intoxicated by a romance so obviously doomed from the start. (Though it has been suggested that this song was inspired by a recurring dream about Tony Abbott)

| Piers Twomey - Mountain Song Folk | 22/11/2011 |
References include Grand Salvo, Sun Kil Moon, Midlake and Bon Iver, matching a clear narrative with beautiful melodies, mysterious sounds and plenty of space. Alternately tranquil, playful and dramatic music.
This was one of the last songs I wrote and recorded for my debut album, Strange Advice. I guess it’s about being reinvigorated and feeling renewed again in life, which is always a nice feeling. It’s also about jumping on good opportunities when they present themselves.
Other tracks by Piers Twomey: Sunshine - I Believe You
| Mikelangelo & The Tin Star - Midnight Flower Rock | 10/11/2011 |
If Las Vegas had a beach, a clone made from Elvis Presley and Nick Cave a band that played surf rock would sound like Mikelangelo And The Tin Star. Rave
I dig a good riff, and the riff drives this song. Whenever we start playing it live, the audience goes wild. I also love the sound of Saint Clare’s voice on this track, gently purring next to Fiete’s wall of guitar noise. Probably my favourite track on the album.

ARIA award-winning Mic is a singer, actor, musician, song writer, fire eater, magician, tap dancer, juggler. Robbie has jazz/rock foundations but has gathered tools from a spectrum of musical genres
An old Tin Pan Alley song , about Tin Pan Alley. In the 1920s and '30s songwriters created their own world there through song: surreal romantic mythology! I first heard Bing Crosby sing this tune, and later Tiny Tim. The melody is beautiful and the lyrics are amazing and surreal.

| The Widowbirds - Dust & Stone Blues/Roots, Soul, Rock, Blues | 04/11/2011 |
Living in the inspirations of Otis Redding, Frankie Miller, The Band and Neil Young, The Widowbirds deliver a soulfulness and truth. Engaging on stage performances, soaring vocals and junk-kit rhythms.
Inspired by a dream of self sacrifice and plunging into volcanoes, this tribal tale creates a self-marching head-nod. Recording with an abundance of African percussion which turns this blues rock into a uniqe melting pot of gritty soul and true representation of The Widowbirds sound and intention.

Mustered Courage deliver sophisticated yet simple songs that gracefully cross the country road.
Money Mouth was the first song written after Julian Abrahams picked up a mandolin for the first time. This sparked enough interest for his vocalist friend Nick to take up banjo and form what just might be the most exciting band in the Australian music scene.
