| Cigars of the Pharaoh - Sincere Karma Rock, Blues, Metal | 24/06/2018 |
With a power-packed sound that tips its hat to the blues rock genre of old, Cigars Of The Pharaoh are bringing a modern twist to retro-rock grooves.
Sincere Karma came about like so many of the band’s tunes do — a random riff at rehearsal. But this time it was different. With the band moving to a new two-guitar line-up, this time it was massive, a big, bold new sound that shakes the very foundations of the traditional rock sound.
| Fyre Byrd - Take Me Out Rock, Pop, Garage | 27/05/2018 |
FYRE BYRD formed in 2017, fronted by vocalist/guitarist Josh and female drummer Daniella.

| Flickertail - Back of My Mind Rock | 23/02/2018 |
A four-headed Irish-Australian rock Hydra from Sydney's Inner West, Flickertail play guitar-fuelled rock and roll exactly the way it's supposed to be played.
Back of My Mind is a rock track...there’s the staccato riff, (Led Zep-style open-string sort of thing - think Kashmir played by someone dressed as Ian Brown), but rather than trying to sound like warlock Jimmy Page, they slowed it down and emphasised the 4/4 beat.
| The Iron Horses - April Rain Rock, Pop | 27/11/2017 |
The Iron Horses were forged after numerous late night, boozy, jam sessions in early 2015.
April Rain is a rolling rock track about the regret and remorse that takes over the morning after a heavy night. It's about that alter-ego that comes out and people seeing the lesser side of your personality.

The Buckleys are a sibling trio - Sarah Buckley (17yo – Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar), Molly Buckley (14yo – Vocals, Mandolin) and Lachlan Buckley (16yo – Electric Guitar, Slide Guitar).
Run is a contemporary, modern sound with ghosts reminiscent of Appalachian & Celtic rhythms. Featuring the sibling harmonies of sisters Sarah and Molly, collectively with brother Lachlan, the melodious, rhythmic and lyrical quality of the up-beat song reverberates a vibrant, youthful and charmingly optimistic tone.
| The Cherry Dolls - Begging You Please Rock, Punk | 27/09/2017 |
Clocking up two years of unrelenting gigging and recording The Cherry Dolls have given more than fair warning of their promise as one of Australia’s most electrifying bands.
Falling in love is the most powerful feeling you can ever experience. It has no rules, it has no boundaries, sometimes it comes when you least expect, sometimes it comes when you least want it, but when you do receive it, prepare yourself for one hell of a ride.
| Flickertail - Talk Rock, Garage | 25/09/2017 |
A four-headed Irish-Australian rock Hydra from Sydney's Inner West, Flickertail play guitar-fuelled rock and roll exactly the way it's supposed to be played.
“Talk” is a lovely little blended smoothie of every ingredient that defines and differentiates Flickertail. The delicate, lilting melody in the intro gives way to obstreperous guitars and thunderous drums. “Talk” is rock and roll played the way it ought to be: brash, honest, equal parts vulnerable and impenetrable.
| High Tropics - Better Days Rock, Garage | 18/09/2017 |
Birthed by the fuzz-filled glory years that were the 2000s, High Tropics combine lo-fi indie rock production techniques with charm and methodical arrangements reminiscent of archetypal singer/songwriters.
‘Better Days’ shares the sentiment of its chorus; waiting for a phase or stage in one’s life to pass – a feeling anyone who’s ever had a bad day has probably felt to some extent, with the descending progression building a sense of doom and gloom.
| The Heartache State - Honey Slide Rock, Blues, Roots | 28/07/2017 |
The Heartache State is Nick Barker, Justin Garner, Venom, and Michael Hubbard.
Honey Slide was written by Nick Barker in a Perth hotel…it’s a song about fame gained quickly by a young band (maybe siblings) and the effect on their relationship, ego, and the trappings and pitfalls of sudden popularity.
| The Cherry Dolls - Cop Out Rock, Punk, Hardcore | 27/06/2017 |
Clocking up two years of unrelenting gigging and recording The Cherry Dolls have given more than fair warning of their promise as one of Australia’s most electrifying bands.
Written in their backyard tin shed studio, Cop Out is the essence of the Dolls sound – taught, angular guitar lines going hell bent for leather out over a thunderous primal beat, staying true to their punk rock roots.
| Kilbey Kennedy - Glow and Fade Rock, Psychedelic, Atmospheric | 25/05/2017 |
Celebrating a decade of working together Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Martin Kennedy (All India Radio) release album number 5, their magnum opus, Glow and Fade.
