| The Good China - No More Maps, No More Roads Rock, Pop | 20/10/2011 |
The Good China is an eight-piece from Melbourne. Their charming indie pop has made some people clap hands, some people sing, jump and scream at the top of their lungs.
A song about moving up, moving out, and moving on. Built on handclaps, fuzzed-up guitars and an insistent drum beat, it recalls the trepidation and triumph of our growing pains while hurtling towards a jubilant finale. Brash and big hearted, it's become a solid fan favourite and a live highlight.

The Glorious are purveyors of classic songcraft and transcendent melody. Formed in Melbourne in 2004 with classic touchstones such as Bruce Springsteen and The Band.
There's a place along the Capital City Trail in Brunswick where I used to walk. Sometimes I'd be tired and sad but when I got to where the trail meets the Upfield train line -- it'd always make my spirits lift. This song is about walking that trail.

| The Fumes - Who Do You Love Rock, Blues | 07/10/2009 |
You may wonder how a two-piece can garner so much hype. In the case of mighty-bearded vocalist/guitarist Steve Merry and drumming prodigy Joel Battersby, the gushing is with good reason.
Who Do You Love the fuzz-laden barnstormer is all gristle, brawn and brawling swagger. Riff-maestro and ragged-throated frontman Merry lays down the massive drop-tuned guitarwork, roaring out his lines, while cohort Battersby literally beats the life out of his kit. It sounds live, raw, volatile, and dangerous

The Frowning Clouds play 60s Garage, Freakbeat and R&B. It's lovely garage rock that sounds sort of like The Kinks by way of Geelong.
‘Propellers’ oozes with the hip shakin’, sing-along goodness that the boys from Geelong do so well. Produced by Owen Penglis (Straight Arrows, Royal Headache), ‘Propellers’ is the second single to be taken from their forthcoming album ‘Paper Jungle’.
| The Frowning Clouds - All Night Long Rock, Garage | 12/10/2011 |
Geelong locals, The Frowning Clouds, have been turning heads since the release of their debut album 'Listen Closlier'. All sixties sass and swinging beats, the attention is well justified.
The first sample from the five-piece's upcoming album, the follow up to last year's Listen Closlier, 'All Night Long', is a sound indication of just where The Frowning Clouds are circa 2011, which is squarely around 1965.
