I’ve been doing a lot of travelling this week. I only need one thing for my journeys up and down the highway: good music. Thankfully I recently received King Curly’s newie, The Fall and Rise of King Curly 1998-2008, and it’s taken up permanent residence in my car stereo.
It’s the perfect album for travelling really. […]
Today is Earth Day, a day where we stop to appreciate the world in which we live. And so as we pause to reflect I thought I’d leave you with a song by Melbourne singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd. This song “The Mother” is from his third album Food in the Belly. It perfectly encapsulates the wonder […]
Gyroscope’s latest album Breed Obsession recently topped the Aussie charts, and after giving it a spin it’s not hard to see why.
Breed Obsession is instantly accessible with lighter moments balancing the darker tracks. It opens with the big first single “Snakeskin,” before launching into another slice of Aussie rock, “All In On One.” The intense […]

The international acts are headed up by The Bravery, The Beastie Boys’ Mix Master Mike, Utah Saints, Scribe, and Grand National.

Last week a new CD passed across my desk 6th Perception, the debut EP from Perth artist Nelson Clemente.

Guy Sebastian’s latest release, The Memphis Album, has been the former Australian Idol winner’s most successful album to date. Listening to this nostalgia-filled tribute to the past, it’s not hard to see why.
Guy’s reverence for these original Stax recordings is obvious. Not only did Guy make a pilgrimage to Memphis to create the record. He […]
The Live & Cookin’ @ Lizotte’s Restaurant CD has been permanently lodged in my stereo since I picked it up at the Rick Price/Jackie Bristow show a few weeks ago. The disc features an all-Australian cast, with big names like Daryl Braithwaite, Christine Anu, Rick Price, and Richard Clapton appearing alongside Central Coast locals Mike […]

Faker lead singer Nathan Hudson set the record straight about his sexuality in this weekend’s Sunday Magazine.
Nathan told the magazine he hopes his admission will make young gay teens feel comfortable with their sexuality.
“My association with being gay was that it was bad and dark […]
Tin Alley are a rare band on the modern music landscape. Their debut album Every Turn lacks the studio polish of many, but that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it gives this Melbourne outfit a gritty honesty that sets them apart from their contemporaries.
Listening to Every Turn took me back to the early 90s […]
Human Nature have been doing their Motown thing for so long it’s easy to forget they used to be a boy band. But all that is coming to an end with the release of their final Motown experience, Get Ready.
After pumping out a few of these soulful nostalgia trips, there was always the risk the […]
