| The Angels - Waiting For The Sun Rock | 13/08/2012 |
This is The Angels 2012. Brewster ~ Gleeson ~ Brewster ~ Bailey ~ Norton. New singer, new drummer, new songs, but undeniably The Angels
John Brewster: “Dave came in, we talked about the song, he went in & recorded a couple of takes. When we listened back to how we all sounded together, it was a magic moment. Dave owned the song in three takes. Right then, we knew this was going to work.”

| The Advocates - Headspace Of The Devil Rock, Blues | 01/11/2010 |
Melbourne's newest purveyors of epic 70's-inspired Blues/Prog/Alternative Rock. This explosive & somewhat enigmatic 3-piece is one not afraid to take chances with genre-bending ideas, innovative musicianship & epic song structures.
An angry & explosive little ditty about being in a somewhat depressed & messed-up headspace but finding acceptance of it, as difficult and frustrating as it may be. Hence the chorus line-"Everything's alright, everything is fine, don't you want to believe that everything's alright. Kinda brings Deep Purple to mind.
Other tracks by The Advocates: Swamped - Walking On Fire, Dancing On Stones
| Tess McKenna - Fill Me Up Blues, Alternative Country, Grunge, Rock | 15/11/2010 |
Early bands included indie rock/pop three piece The Right Furniture, and alt-country darlings The Western District. Recent outings have seen Tess stretching out with her most recent band, The Shapiros.
Ringing guitars with just the right amount of distortion colour this song about the inertia of romantic relationships. Lyrics like "I'd say to love you more, I could hurt you less" depict a scene of indifferent love, where the solution, or the intention of finding one is unclear.
Other tracks by Tess McKenna: The New Everything - Hummingbird
| Tess McKenna - Falling Into The Sun Rock, Pop | 04/03/2010 |
Boom Bam is the superbly crafted third release from Tess McKenna. Clever and catchy, a skilful blend of guitar pop and sophisticated garage, saturated with equal parts beauty and attitude.
‘Boom Bam is a gem. Tess deserves some of the critical acclaim surrounding Lucinda and Gillian. It’s an intoxicating brew, beautifully played by a stellar band. Boom Bam -Tess’ third album - is a compelling, challenging, interesting pop record.'

Telafonica blends cutting edge electronica with traditional pop songs, abstract melodies with toy and acoustic instruments, electric bluster with melancholy introspection.

Teal is a rock band based in Sydney NSW. Young Sydney band with a Sound fits somewhere between early Birds Of Tokyo and Classic Muse.
Produced by Lucius Borich (Cog)
Produced by Lucius Borich (Drummer of Cog) Raptor is a very open to interpretation rock track about the complicated nature of relationships.
It has roots in heavy, post and prog rock but also brings a certain indie vibe to the track.

| Teak - Looking For You Rock, Pop | 15/02/2011 |
"Teak sounds like a band that should be headlining the Billboard charts. They are a triple threat of vocals, music, and production value". From Zack Daggy Teak album review.
This is a re-worked Teak favourite, now given the full electric treatment, while retaining all its charm and dreaminess. Aaron Ninness’s guitar solo is brief but beautiful, and his playing throughout the song is sublime. Greg Szymanski’s excellent drumming drives the beat solidly.

| Taylor King - Ready. Aim. Rock, Pop | 23/02/2010 |
Taylor King is a one piece band without boundaries. Influenced by everything that can be seen, everything that can be heard; out to evoke the deepest of emotion and thought.
This song will mean something different to every single person that listens to it. But to me, it is a very personal song that deals with a lot of troubling issues in my life.

| Tarcutta - Liberace Fibonacci Rock, Instrumental | 25/09/2009 |
Tarcutta's epic and detailed instrumental movements draw inspiration from punk, rock and post-rock.
‘Liberace Fibonacci’ thrills with its awesome organ riff,
before taking flight through a series of dizzying
twists and turns. This is complex, hook laden instrumental rock at it's best.

| Tangled Star - tosleepingpeople Rock, Alternative Country | 25/09/2009 |
Distilling elements of indie rock and alt country married with Craig Hallsworth’s wonderful dust and liquor coated vocals and twisting lyrics, Tangled Star weaves their own magic place.
The wonderfully received first single lifted from the "Our Man In Eden Hill" EP, ‘tosleepingpeople’, is a lilting pop classic and sees Tangled Star at their inimitable best. The song layers gorgeously crafted, country-tinged melancholic pop with Hallsworth’s wonderfully wry lyrical playfulness.

| Tangled Star - seabirdtown Rock, Alternative Country | 28/09/2009 |
Tangled Star make once familiar territory foreign and offset. Thier sound which is rooted in indie rock and alt country takes unconventional musical twists and turns.
‘seabirdtown’ opens with the expansive open air sound of Pink Floyd-style organs and spatial guitars before falling into an earthbound shuffle. The build to a towering edifice of overdriven guitar, droning organ and harmony vocals is topped off by an echoed guitar line that sketches glistening arcs in the stratosphere.

| Tangled Star - Head In The Sand Rock, Alternative Country | 18/06/2013 |
Fronted by one of Perth's master of song, Craig Hallsworth (The Bamboos, The Healers, Outstation). Twisting lyrics, exultant shifts and melodic detours making once familiar territory somehow foreign and offset.
‘Head In The Sand’ streamlines Tangled Star’s inimitable hooks and melodic turns into an immediately addictive and electric slice of slow burn power-pop. The glowing roar of overdriven guitars combined with the song’s endearingly ramshackle sway and Craig Hallsworth’s unmistakable vocals and lyrical playfulness evokes wide-open roads and cracked sunglasses.

| Talons - Readheads Rock, Punk, Punk | 14/10/2009 |
Talons are a 3 piece, they play gritty proto punk with a hard edge. The resulting sound is gloriously unique and it challenges audiences both live and on record.
Redheads builds and builds on a basic guitar riff, chills out in the middle interlude then explodes in a crescendo of noise bliss. A massive ending secures this song as a live favorite and the lead track from the album. You'll be coming back for more!
