REVIEWS

Manchester's Westside Cowboy are bringing their gloriously ragged indie rock to Australia for the first time, with three headline shows and a Golden Plains appearance following the release of It Goes On.

Fontaines D.C. expand their world with electronics, orchestral beauty and a stunning Rosalía collaboration. Could Dopamine Chamber carry them further into the mainstream?

Big riffs, soaring harmonies and proper songwriting. Sydney's LARGE MIRAGE talk ‘Wildfire’, recording with Michael Badger, sharing a stage with AC/DC and why the human element matters.

Blondshell’s Violins is sharp and intimate where beauty, violence, healing and killer guitars collide.

Brooklyn's Geese are heading back to Australia in 2027. Following the extraordinary success of Getting Killed, the band return for their biggest headline shows yet.

James and Razorlight deliver an extraordinary night at Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall. A spectacular celebration of Laid, devotion and British rock.

Pixies made Doolittle stranger, sharper and more accessible without losing any of their bite. We go track by track through the 1989 album that helped rewrite the language of alternative rock.

Matt Jones returns to make the case for Portishead’s Third, the darker, stranger and more adventurous album hiding in the enormous shadow of Dummy.

For Annette Geneva, MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks is less a record to review than one to obsess over. This month’s Written In Reverb is an unabashed love letter to its crooked humour, glorious guitars and irresistible imperfections.

Ten years into their career, DMA’S have made a record that looks backwards without getting stuck in the past. Their self-titled album is a wonderfully human reminder of what made them special in the first place.

Saul Davies of James joins Waxx Lyrical to revisit our previous Record Of The Month, Laid.

From teenage Killing Heidi firebrand to award-winning songwriter and Americana troubadour, Ella Hooper has spent more than 25 years making her mark on Australian music. For her Forever Five, she takes us back to the records that helped make her.
