DMA’S, Self-Titled: The Art of Coming Full Circle

Album Reviews

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.

LARGE MIRAGE Have the Songs to Back It Up

Heatseekers

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.

Pixies – Doolittle: Inside the Album That Changed Alternative Rock

Record Of The Month Deep Dives

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.

Deep Dive

Everybody knows 'Laid'. Far fewer know Laid. We go beyond James’ immortal title track to discover the strange, intimate Brian Eno-produced album hiding behind the hit.

Yard Act Return With An Electro Ode To Their Own Stage Attire (and it's really, really good!)

As we heavily pushed (and pushed) and featured Yard Act with an exclusive of their debut album, The Overload, it is only with good conscience that we shout loudly about their new single, 'The Trench Coat Museum'. Luckily, and unsurprisingly, it's bloody excellent. Australian audiences who witnessed one of the band's Laneway sets or headline shows earlier in the year might not be quite aware that frontman James Smith is rather known in his native country for wearing a trench coat. It was a...

The Last Dinner Party Serve Delicious Debut Single.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THESE EARS CAN STILL HEAR A #TUNE when stumbling upon one. The Last Dinner Party's most excellent debut single 'Nothing Matters' popped up randomly on my streaming platform of choice and, upon doing a little research doesn't seem like these ears are exactly taste making after all - their trajectory is already well on its way! I call this exercise of releasing this kind of debut single "to pull a Wet Leg" - that doesn't mean it shares anything more with Wet Leg than an...
