| Hobsons Bay Coast Guard - Wannabe Pop, Garage, Psychedelic | 19/10/2018 |
Hobsons Bay Coast Guard are Catchy sun-drenched hooks, warped chords and trashy, manic drums are all smashed together into a coastal themed paint-your-own-adventure colouring book.
Recorded in their parents living room, the single itself is another mad experiment in genre from studio Hobsons. ‘Wannabe’ is short like a punk track, heavy like a garage track and even contains elements of pop behind its driving mad-cap rhythm guitar and incessant drums. ‘Wannabe’ slots neatly beside their previous releases while simultaneously standing out like a throbbing thumb.
| Easy Street - Sexy Draconian Pop, Garage, Alternative Country | 05/10/2018 |
Easy Street are a warped, classic pop/garage folk five-piece from Sydney, Australia with a reputation for their raw and energetic live shows.
I think this song exposes a bit of a darker and chaotic element of our music, which you don’t really get in anything we’ve released previously. We tried to produce it nice and real sounding, and I tried to sing it as honestly as I could. We hope all the beautiful people out there dig it!
| Joe Sewer - (You Don't Need To Be) Afraid Pop, Acoustic, Garage, Rock | 05/10/2018 |
Joe Sewer is a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter, carving out rugged guitar-driven lo-fi pop – born in the garage but aiming for the skies.
(You Don't Need To Be) Afraid is an unadorned ballad that seeks to reaffirm our individuality and remind us how it can be threatened by fear. It reflects the temperament of the present age and attempts to serve as a reminder of the contentment to be found in our natural selves.
| Lake Myer - War Rock, Punk | 05/10/2018 |
Lake Myer are the subterranean lurkers coursing through the city; seeking to reclaim rock'n'roll from the clean and lucrative department store shelves and return it to the swamp.
"War is fighting for the person you love without sacrificing your dignity. It’s not picking up the shit that other people put down in front of you. It’s about playing a straight bat in a twisted game, because whatever happens, you’ve got your own back, and if you’re lucky, maybe the one who’s on your team will have it too."
| The Pretty Littles - Hills Hoist Rock, Garage | 27/09/2018 |
The Pretty Littles are a four-piece garage rock band from Melbourne with a knack for creating yell-alongs that have seen them sell out venues across the country several times over.
"Hills Hoist is about an old man who wonders around his house doing really mundane things. I pictured my Nanna and Grandpas house in Ocean Grove. They were classic Grand Parents with a well stocked lolly jar, custard and diet lemonade in the fridge. Empty houses are always kind of dark when they used to have more people in it."
| The Pretty Littles - Runnin Outta Steam Rock, Garage | 27/09/2018 |
The Pretty Littles are a four-piece garage rock band from Melbourne with a knack for creating yell-alongs that have seen them sell out venues across the country several times over.
This song is Emo as fark, lots of yelling, fun to play live.

| Backyard - Royal Park Pop, Folk, Country | 18/10/2017 |
Backyard have a penchant for creating understated tunes about life in Melbourne’s western suburbs and country Victoria.
A couple in a local motel and a person struggling to communicate in a foreign hospital; 'Royal Park' draws a parallel between these two stories by exploring the location in which they took place. The pairing of the two will reveal that a place can tie together events decades apart.
| department. - If Rock, Pop, Garage, Punk | 06/10/2017 |
department. are a Melbourne Punk/Garage outfit that released their debut Album in early 2017 titled DPT PTY LTD.
’If’ serves as a reminder of the singularity of the present moment, how right now is all we ever really have and how it is, itself, intangible, and how that our collective realities equate to chaos. Or perhaps to just try to have a good time while you can.
| A. Swayze & the Ghosts - Smooth Sailing Rock, Garage, Pop, Punk | 04/10/2017 |
A. Swayze & the Ghosts are a punk/garage outfit from Hobart Tasmania with a live show that is at all times raw, energetic and enigmatic.
"Smooth Sailing was the title suggested for this track by a friend. Being the thinker that he was, he obviously thought the irony of the title to be comedic, as the subject matter of the song is derived from a time when things were turbulent." - Andrew Swayze

| Backyard - Reality Television Pop, Country, Rock | 18/08/2017 |
Backyard have a penchant for creating understated songs about life in Melbourne’s western suburbs and country Victoria with a country/DIY feel.
Often it seems like every week is the same, and then all of a sudden a lot has changed. 'Reality Television’ is an ode to wasted time and mirrors falling asleep on the couch after you’ve just spent an entire Sunday afternoon in front of the TV.
| A. Swayze & the Ghosts - ICU Rock, Garage, Punk | 23/06/2017 |
A. Swayze & the Ghosts are a punk/garage outfit from Hobart Tasmania with an impressive live show that is raw, energetic and enigmatic.
ICU dictates the mundanity of working life and the reliance of substances for distraction or concentration. Perhaps only deviants will relate purely. Either way, listen to this track from the perspective of a fiend, you may realise it's easier than you imagined.
