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.

ALBUM REVIEW // ‘SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound’ – Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
Western Australia’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are back with their latest album: ‘SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound’. This is album number four from the psych rockers, who have been making a notable name for themselves over the past few years with three successful albums under their belts, the band playing across the country at various big festival and gigs, as well as getting a ton of support from Triple J and Triple J Unearthed, with lots of airtime and ‘SHYGA!’ receiving the coveted feature album slot very recently.
ALBUM REVIEW // ‘First Contact’ – Lastlings
‘First Contact’ has so many positive things going for it, with the excellent vocals and production making for the some of the best Australian electro-pop music that we’ve heard in 2020.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Not For The Weekend’ – The Lulu Raes
It’s a banger that people should be playing over the next few months, whether they’re with their friends at the beach, at a pool party over the new year’s period or simply just needing something to lift their mood. I’m keen to see what The Lulu Raes do next, and hopefully catch them at a live show soon.
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.
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.
ALBUM REVIEW // ‘Reveries’ – Kingswood
It’s almost fortunate that Covid-19 happened, or else Kingswood might not have ever made ‘Revelries’, making an album that really made me fully appreciate ‘Juveniles’ even more, but also really showcases just how talented this band is. With a unique switch in style for the band, strong writing and great instrumentals, it’s one that fans of Kingswood definitely shouldn’t miss.
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘It’s All Connected’ – Andy Bull
Right from the start, “It’s All Connected” brings a nostalgic pop sound that is not only enjoyable, but also is a groovy treat for the ears
SINGLE REVIEW // ‘Fired Up’ – DZ Deathrays
Whilst not quite as big in sound compared to previous DZ Deathrays songs, it is still filled with a chorus that is nothing short of epic, and a hook that is guaranteed to catch the ears of every listener
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.
