If anyone hasn't listened to Michael Kiwanuka's Home Again - pick it up now! After a year that saw Kiwanuka win BBC's Sound of 2012 poll, the Brit quickly took both sides of the ocean by storm with the 702s steeped sound of his debut. Weekly Feed caught up with him in the woods of Willie Nelson's ranch (seriously) right before his set at the Heartbreaker Banquet to reflect on the past few months, his rise to fame, and the heroes that have inspired him. The post Interview [...]

It's true! Those laid back slacker-rock kings from Brooklyn known as  BEACH FOSSILS  will be making a trip to Australia in September, playing shows around the country to make up for their cancelled 2012 tour. Yes, it was October last year that the band were supposed to be gracing our sunny shores however it was not to be.

As part of their first national headline run,  The Neighbourhood  is releasing three limited split 7″ singles that will feature new songs from their and their supporting acts, Lovelife , The 1975 , and JMSN that will only be available at the shows. Have I told you lately that I Love You? In the first release, The Neighbourhood digs back to the band's hip-hop roots (and also Jesse Rutherford's rapping roots that was pre-The Neighbourhood). So smooth, so addicting. Something about Jesse's voice is so endearingly vulnerable and raw. It's [...]

If there is one shared passion of the collected Thrash Hits writers (other than smugly mouthing-off about bands on the internet), then it's football. So when the London leg of  Title Fight's UK tour clashed with the Europa League Final this week, we were worried we wouldn't be able to find anyone able to review it...so we guess it's a good job that  Alex Andrews is a Spurs man... 6 things we learned watching Title Fight in London...

I was lucky enough to see THE SMITH STREET BAND  play to a very intimate crowd recently in a small office space in suburban Perth (also known as the PILERATS   office or 'The Pile' for short). It was hard not to be immediately struck by the brutally honest lyrics and inspiringly cathartic performance from frontman WILL WAGNER . The lads have been super busy lately, as well as working on a batch of new tunes they've also managed put together a massive Australian tour, bringing along Poison City Weekender pals [...]

Having been released the day Daft Punk put their new album as a free stream on iTunes means "Dumb Disco Ideas" may have gotten lost in the shuffle, but it's a pretty sweet track. Their first new single from their upcoming album Dynamics which does not have a release date yet. Not too fond of the video (find it rather boring), but hey can't win them all. They will be on tour [...]
