INTERVIEW// Holly Hebe On: Musical Journeys, Creative Sampling and The Future.
We moved around a lot there, it’s funny to think about all the different houses and the different stages of my life in each space
LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // RedHook + Reliqa + Linear (Cambridge Hotel)
To say that RedHook and the supports killed it on Friday night is a massive understatement. Despite it being a seated gig, the energy from both the bands and the audience made for a super fun night, filled with awesome music and terrific performances from all three bands.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Josh’ – Peach PRC
Josh is an anthem of self love and taking the steps to look after yourself when an ex won’t leave you alone.
GALLERIES
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Creo + TILD (The Lansdowne)
Another boring Thursday night calls for the perfect opportunity for a great night of live music and what better way to do that than having two talented bands play great sets at the Lansdowne.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // The Buoys + Mission: Banana (The Cambridge Hotel)
Marking a return to gigs in the Warehouse at the Cambridge Hotel, The Buoys return to Newcastle with a bang supported by local favourites Mission: Banana.
LIVE SHOW REVIEW + GALLERY // BOYSCLUB (The Factory Theatre)
This is punk. It is honest, relentless and draws both social criticism and reflection. The type of music that makes you sit back and think about the world around you.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Slapjack + Mango Avenue + Camino Gold (Newcastle Civic Theatre)
This past weekend the Civic Theatre played host to a fantastic lineup of Newcastle’s finest bands all thanks to Newcastle Music Collective. It’s a beautiful venue to enjoy live music at, the way the stage lights illuminate the ceiling is grand.
LIVE SHOW GALLERY + REVIEW // Middle Kids + Georgia Mulligan (Newcastle City Hall)
A set that was full of energy, really well performed songs, enjoyably awkward banter between the members, and easily one of the best shows I’ve been to in a while.
REVIEWS
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Hard To Be Alone’ – Good Lekker
The song is a summery, synth-filled indie dance track. Think Catfish and The Bottlemen meets Passion Pit meets The Jungle Giants. A perfect combination proving that the boys from Good Lekker are an absolute powerhouse; a force to be reckoned with.
ALBUM REVIEW // ‘0202’ – The Rubens
The Rubens feel like they’re finally settled into their groove on this album. While not every track is a get out of your seat and dance song, they are all very well thought out and deserve individual attention. All in all, 0202 is The Rubens’ most adventurous and most complete album yet, with a track list that will be sure to become a fan favourite into the future.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Gemini’ – Lili Crane
‘Gemini’ is Lili Crane’s first 2021 release, after the release of her debut EP ‘In My Head’ in 2020, and 2019 singles ‘Don’t Take My Mask Off’, ‘Drama Queen’ and ‘Stay Forever’, a track that gained quite a lot of success. Gemini seems to display an angst and sound that shows Lili’s progression from a young artist, into a mature and self-aware musician.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘White Noise’ – Second Idol
White Noise is everything the music industry at this point of time has been missing, and it is certain that Second Idol are taking the industry by storm. It’s a strong and powerful song that will get stuck in your head, leaving you in a state of rebellion.
LIVE SHOW REVIEW // Tulliah + Holly Hebe (Corner Hotel)
Born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula, Tulliah is a salt water baby in the big smoke playing a sold out show at the Corner Hotel on Swan Street, Richmond. This show was to celebrate the release of her song Just My Type (A Little Bit Lonely), it was also a tease of what is to come on her upcoming EP.
INTERVIEWS
INTERVIEW // Creo: Jorjee on ‘Demon to Love’, Self Reflection and Sydney Culture
There’s a lot of trial and error, back and forth, and about 20 versions of the song before we got to the final version that we stuck with, whether it was the intertwining melodies that were too distracting or having to remove one or two things. It’s the trial and error that makes the process an arduous journey, but in the end a rewarding one.
INTERVIEW // Gabriel Paris On: Musical Journeys, Inspiration and the Future
I have issues confronting my true feelings in some situations… I need something that gets everything down in black and white.
INTERVIEW // Sampson: On ‘Closer’, Inspiration and Live Shows
I remember singing but I could hear everyone else singing the lyrics cos they new the song, which was crazy like I almost felt like I should stop singing and just let them sing it.
INTERVIEW // SCABZ: Siobhan On: Saxophones, Politics and ‘Guess Who’
People who have seen us live will know that we like to crack jokes and have a fun time. There’s also a bit of political commentary, and I think that it’s the first time that we’ve tried to tap in and write songs with a bit more of an introspective look at how politics affects us opposed to how the world around us affects us, and how we all fit into the that world in a bit more depth.
INTERVIEW // Cry Club on: Matching Suits, Lady Gaga, Growing and ‘God I’m Such a Mess’
We don’t want to look what a pop artist looks like. We don’t want to look like what you think a punk artist should look like. We just want to be like ourselves.
