It's sure going to be interesting to see how the major radio stations battle when announcing the name of Dune Rats latest treat. 'Fuck It' 'Fuck It' will be officially released tomorrow and is the lead song from the bands upcoming EP due for release in June. The duo are fresh off the road after spending a great deal of time touring around the nation with the likes of Bleeding Knees Club , The Drums , Cults , Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Best Coast . 'Fuck It' is [...]
Really great slacker pop track from Brisbane lads Dune Rats. It comes in at just less than 2 mins and I think the title is pretty apt. Just a quick track about some chick or somethin'. Love the layed back whatever goes attitude that these guys have. The guys are nearly out on tour to [...]
Dune Rats - Pogo These awesome Aussies keep it fun. Not that cheesy fun, but that pizza-and-babes-infused-fun that you talk about for weeks after. Those stories that always start and end with "Remember that night with Dune Rats?" and there is a collective "Yeah." They've got two super fun fairly short EPs up on their bandcamp which I suggest you mosey on over too. They tumbl' too .

That's right, guys, Nu Rave Brain Wave is four years old today. To celebrate, I used really poor grammar and absolutely zero effort on a beautiful photograph of me from this year - exactly how I like to be seen, in cashmere and David Yurman about to grab a pug. So thank you all for reading, commenting (if you ever have, and if you haven't a few "fuck yeahs" every now and then isn't so hard, now is it?), tweeting, facebooking or interacting in any way with me, or enjoying anything I've posted. Shout out to all the bands and [...]

Here, Shane rounds off a list of five of his favourite local upcomers. 1. TIGER BEAMS [...]
Sometimes I forget that Australia is massive. And since I'm American, and therefore not taught proper geography in school, I'm quick to lump all Aussie bands together by location. That, or completely forget where anyone lives and thus I will say that if you're into The Bleeding Knees Club and Wilde Child, you'll love Brisbane [...]
