Cull have released a new dual single - 'Canker' and ' If It Works ', the indie four piece made their debut in January with ' Good People Disappear ' and are currently working on an EP.

Our writer Sandro Dallarmi recently got wired through to London for a chin wag with Howard Lawrence , one half of garage/house production duo Disclosure. Overall, the chat wasn't as expansive as we'd hoped, but the least adventurous of our questions received the most intriguing answer. When asked if Disclosure would be touring Australia soon, Howard responded with the following. "Yeah, I think we’re back in September. I might be wrong about that, I’m not sure. But we’re definitely back this year anyway". [...]

As I am a festive person, I like to be aware of all of the holidays and how I might celebrate them. You should know that in addition to today being Earth Day , which is today, there are many other possibilities for festiveness this week! All of which are clearly just as important as the planet we live on, which also gets its own day. Monday Earth Day: Ok, unless you have the day off, you're probably not going to be Captain Planet and the Planeteers-ing the hell out of [...]
Wintercoats new EP 'Heartful' is out tomrrow via Yes Please ! The work of Melbourne's James Wallace amounts to an amazing sea of melody and delicate vocals on mass. The complexity and depth of what Wallace achieves with his vocals is key to Wintercoats, its so strong it could almost just be acapellas. Infact, I'd like to hear that. Take a listen to the closing track below, a reprise/remix of 'Burial'. Wintercoats - 'Heartful (Burial Reprise)' [...]
Yesterday, I was Facebook IMing with Sebastian when he offered a flashback-inducing reply to an age-old Buenos Aires pregunta , the Argentine equivalent to the Aussie "How are you going?" " Como estas? " " Si, bien, en casa, tomando mates y organizando para salir con mis amigos hoy a la noche. " (Sebas was the only person I knew in Argentina who bothered to use commas and accent marks when writing, and I loved him for it.) Ah, mate ! [...]
