Melbourne (via South Africa) five-piece CLUBFEET have just announced their return to the Australian touring circuit with a ten date national tour in June – July as well as a brand new single titled 'Cape Town'. They will be joined by special guests and rising Sydneysiders Panama alongside local supports in each city, ensuring that this will be one hell of a dancefloor throwdown. CLUBFEET began their 2013 takeover with the release of their critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Heirs & Graces’ in January. The album spawned the hit [...]
Jackson Scott shares new song, "Sandy". He's lo-fi, DIY, and in the public eye of many blogs - Asheville, North Carolina's Jackson Scott. Later this year he will release his debut album, Melbourne,...
As I scour the internet for some new tunes to share, this new song "Sandy" by young upstart Jackson Scott has perked up my ears. You'll immediately notice a very sunny, airy, and bright feel to the song that could land it on a future summer playlist by yours truly. If nothing else, it should be able to turn that frown upside down for a couple minutes. New album Melbourne is due out July 23rd on Fat Possum Records .
Today we have a proper introduction to the Melbourne Australia pop-punk band SKYWAYS ARE HIGHWAYS, specifically their first self-titled 2 song release in 2012. A new EP release that has been in the works, 'So Young', is also coming out this month which you can check out via the BandCamp link below!

PASSION PIT are fresh off the back of dual weekend performance's at Coachella and were widely regarded as one of the best performances of the event. The LA Times claimed that ‘the band’s main stage set had the largest crowd of any Saturday afternoon’ while The Examiner stated that ‘ Passion Pit ’s live show [...]
NEW Artist Discovery: Melbourne's Maximum Wolf We've got a new artist discovery from the grimy alleyways of Melbourne - Maximum Wolf. He calls himself a " futuristic beast " in his bio and I'd say that hits it on point. Combing abrasive synths with grinding undertones and nerve-racking beats, Maximum Wolf will take you on a dark and mysterious electro odyssey through the gritty, urban streets and out into the ethereal unknown. We are sharing here his newest project "Broadcast" the music video [...]
Melbourne muso Dion Nania (formerly of Panel Of Judges ) has a new band called Free Time , plus a new home in New York City. Free Time's debut self-titled album will be available via Underwater Peoples from May 28 and opens with 'I Lost Again'. Its a lazy listen, with a simplicity and charm not unlike The Go-Betweens. Free Time - 'I Lost Again' [...]
C ANT SAY has had a pretty big run of talented locals coming through their doors and destroying their tunnels... and that is definitely going to continue this week. Coming all the way from the sweaty, smoke-filled pits of Sydney, DANNY T is one of the states greatest exports, and he'll be headlining the night! Born and bred on a healthy dietary dose of Switch, Diplo, Jesse Rose and Claude Vonstroke with sprinkles of Jurassic 5 and Big L [...]
It was interesting that a lot of people didn't actually believe that the song and clip to the communist-era-inspired 'Ballad of the War Machine' was actually the real deal from Midnight Juggernauts . I don't think anyone is going to have a hard time swallowing 'Memorium', which distinctly leaves any Cold War references behind, with a triumphant display of what I'm really hanging out for, that distinct Juggernauts sound. Don't get me wrong, I love 'Ballad of the War Machine', but the latest offering really nails it for me. It's got a touch of throwback to 20072s 'Road to [...]
Words by Tom Spooner Coloured Clocks ' Bandcamp tagline reads: “Psychedelic music recorded at home.” I like this. Psychedelia is basically about exploring the interiors of the mind, looking inwards rather than outwards, charting the strange shapes, sounds and thoughts that drift allusively on the other side of the door. And quite frankly if this can’t happen from the comforts of your home, then where can it happen? The idea is then to communicate what you've experienced in a colourful new language, projecting these warped images onto the mundane canvas of [...]
At CANT SAY we pride ourselves on family. In our time we have worked hard to build up a solid, reliable and awesome family. It's been awhile since we've enlisted the help of our trusty and very capable residents to keep the vibes running throughout the entire night, so we thought it was time to do one again! Our capable crew for this fine evening consists of CARLOS TURNER , STAGGMAN , SWICK , J HEASY , MAT CANT and TOMDERSON keeping you all entertained for the night in the main [...]
" Tengo novia pero vos me gustas mas. " If I wasn't sure that my mystery texter wasn't talking to me earlier during breakfast when a one-word message arrived from the same number declaring, simply, " Linda ," now I was. Unless I've been cross dressing in my sleep, taking the feminine-specific adjective for "pretty," and possibly flirting with random guys with girlfriends, this was clearly a case of mistaken identity. Or was it? I met my ex-boyfriend two and a half years ago on a wild Thursday night in Melbourne when he was [...]
Nawww… ‘Do.Make’ is awfully cute. A nice change from the general lack of light posted on SBWR! It comes from Great Earthquake , the solo project of Melbourne-based artist Noah Symons. His latest album ‘Mind Maps’ was released last month through Lost & Lonesome . Plus… Promised Miracles, an artist collective of top Aussie talent - has released their first mixtape called ‘ Basements ’ and you can also pick this track up on that! Great Earthquake – ‘Do.Make’ [...]
Sunsleepers are an indie-pop band from Melbourne, Australia. "Stace + Amanda bring a fresh feel to indie-pop with the latest single 'Kaleidoscope' from their new EP aptly titled Brightness . The expressive depth to their songs - songs of hope, indecision and personal truth - is contrasted by double vocal tracking, vibrant pop melodies and hooky indie-rock guitar riffs. The EP is available on Bandcamp and iTunes, and for free download on Triple J Unearthed." Facebook | BandCamp | JJJ Unearthed [...]
Yesterday I received a tear-stained message from Tobias, an acquaintance in Melbourne whom I'd never pegged as someone with a flair for melodrama. He'd barely batted a brown eye that one time I insulted his intelligence by telling him he had none, then turned on my heel and flounced off. My drunken outburst, though (and yes, I'm going to blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol), was nothing compared to what had recently gone down on the other side of the world. " just called my ex and he picked up while he was having sex so [...]
It's a shame that Melbourne, Australia is so far away, otherwise it would be the first place on my vacation list. Seems like every band I adore, or every band writing great hits hails from the city, or somewhere nearby. The latest great jam comes from perennial rockers, UV Race . On this new single, which comes from the group's Queens of Punk 73 , they bring a chilled out vibe that features male and female vocal parts. That alone would hook me, but I like the relaxed feel too, [...]
So I'm sure there's a write-up for this week's CANT SAY somewhere on here... but we just wanted to add something a little extra that our good pal and headline act - LEWI MCKIRDY has sent our way. It's a little hard to describe to be completely honest, but we're under the impression that the ' CANT SAY PRIMO VOD ' is Lewi' s form of a promo video for the wicked DJ set he's giving this week at our favourite Melbourne jaunt. Teaming [...]
Finally, new shit from World's End Press. A heady, sprawling, deep number. This one comes from their forthcoming Tim Goldsworthy produced album. It's not an official single, just a taste of the record. I've really been enjoying watching these guys grow over the years, and seeing the inevitable fulfil itself: That WEP will grow bigger than Australia will able to handle. The band are headed to the USA for some dates in early June: WORLD'S END PRESS US DATES Wed June 5 - Mercury Lounge, NY Thurs June 6 [...]
