| The Atlas Mountains - Kicking Goals Rock, Alternative Country | 20/11/2015 |
A 5 piece indie rock outfit from Perth. The new album is honest, emotional songwriting at it's best... with a hint of alt-country thanks to lead-singer Taylor’s native Tennesseean twang.
An upbeat song which, lyrically, is about dealing with depression. A dynamically diverse song with laid-back verses and punchy, heavy-hitting choruses. If you want to get "fired up" before going out on the town or playing some sport, then have a listen...

One Trick Pony features the soulfully twangy vocals of inimitable lead vocalist Kylie Whitney, the blistering lead guitar work of Casey Atkins and the insistent grooves and gritty production of Michael Carpenter, and was written by Whitney and Carpenter. The pointed lyrics support the narrative in the vocal, punctuated by production that seethes while building through to an explosive bridge.

Make Me Wonder is warm, dense and speaks of love and loss, at times so sadly beautiful you can almost taste the tears.

| Tennessee Ham - Guy Like You Country, Alternative Country | 02/08/2019 |
The Tennessee Ham band is a good yarn over a hot cuppa, early morning drives down the coast and an alt-country misadventure through the small town australia.
Guy Like You is the first released single from the soundtrack of the forthcoming alt-country musical, Slaughterhouse Road. In a small coastal town on Australia's East Coast, we follow the budding romance of Tam and Jim (played by Sydney musicians Annie Hamilton and Mark Harding) against the backdrop of a jaded small town built around an abattoir.
