Joe Mungovan Delivers an Indie Rock Eye-Roll with ‘Know It All’

‘Know It All’ sparkles with indie rock charm and a healthy dose of sass. Joe Mungovan channels the breezy swagger of Phoenix, blending fuzzy guitars, angular riffs and a strutting rhythm section into a groove that’s impossible not to move to. It’s a hip-swinging jab at that one guy — you know the one — who never stops talking like he’s got all the answers. The bass pops, the guitars bounce off each other like rubber balls in a tiled room, and Joe’s vocal delivery is effortless yet sharp. Crank this one loud and let it do the talking.

Another slick groove indie track from Joe Mungovan that you should take in now via the article below

Multi-instrumentalist Joe Mungovan brings forth his latest single dedicated to that guy in his latest single, ‘Know it All’ - a song about the type of bloke that you may have worked with, regrettably sat next to at a family barbecue, or even had a pinned photo of him on your dartboard.

FANGZ release ferocious long-awaited punk blast of a debut album in 'Shui' - on tour throughout July

After six years carving their name into the Aussie punk scene, FANGZ have finally delivered — and ‘Shui’ is the payoff. The debut album captures everything they do best: sweat-soaked energy, blistering riffs, relentless beats, and Josh Cottreau’s ferocious vocal delivery. It’s packed with catchy-as-hell punk blasts that nod to the likes of Billy Talent and The Used, but never feel recycled. ‘Anne Marie’ and ‘Same Old Story’ are undeniable earworms, and with zero skips, ‘Shui’ is the kind of record that’ll leave your arms sore from air-punching along to every damn song.

After a slew of singles and a few EPs, the debut album from FANGZ is worth the wait. Check it out via the article below.

Dirt City return with monstrous industrial/alt metal single, 'Envy'

Dirt City crank the dial deep into the red on ‘Envy’ — easily their heaviest release to date. But the weight doesn’t come from sheer brutality — it’s the thick, slow-burning groove that hits with full gravitational force. The industrial and electro-tinged textures still nod to Filter, but here everything’s dragged through molasses to give the riff real power. A brief moment of breath at the 2:45 mark offers respite, but it’s short-lived. Flipping between melodic hooks, throat-shredding screams, and synth flashes cutting through the mix, ‘Envy’ is a behemoth — slow, seething, and punishing in all the right ways.

A hefty track from the Sydney industrial outfit. Go check out 'Envy' via the article below.

Evergreen Artists Dirt City

Sydney’s industrial/alt metal legends, Dirt City return with the release of a soaring new single in ‘Envy’, utilising massive beats and monstrous riffing - it becomes one of the heaviest tracks release from the Sydney outfit to date.

Abbey Lane returns with vulnerable, immersive new single, 'Burning Out'

A shift in tone for Abbey Lane, ‘Burning Out’ is as immersive as it is vulnerable. Layer upon layer of airy synths create the sensation of floating in slow motion — as if you’re drifting through a tunnel of memories and missed chances. Abbey’s smoky, intimate vocal holds you close and quietly pleads for reassurance. It’s a song that captures the quiet panic of not knowing where you’re meant to be, and the strange comfort in realising none of us really do. Just bodies clinging to a rock, spinning through space, doing our best.

Another win from Abbey Lane - go take it in now via the article below

Sydney’s Abbey Lane returns, this time with her first-ever self-produced release in the intimate single, ‘Burning Out’.

POLLY sinks her teeth into unapologetically emotional electro pop banger, 'B.I.T.E ME'

With ‘B.I.T.E ME’, POLLY turns heartbreak into a weapon — raw, sharp-edged, and cathartic as hell. There’s a well-exectured tension running through the track: a low, warbling bass that carries the weight of grief, countered by airy synths that seem to search for hope. POLLY’s vocal performance mirrors that duality — soft and exposed in the verses, like a bruise being prodded, before rising into distorted, sharpened choruses that bite back with venom.

It’s not just a break-up song — it’s a purge. A surge of spiky, emotional alt-pop that dares you to scream along in your most messed-up moments, then dance through them anyway. ‘B.I.T.E ME’ doesn’t ask for closure — it demands release.

Go take in the latest single from POLLY via the article below.

EMEREE serves up cold, sassy, rubbery RnB revenge in latest single, 'Eyesore'

‘Eyesore’ is the rubberiest of tracks — dangerously bouncy, with a defiant beat and old-school funk bass that punches deep into your chest. EMEREE glides in with poise and a smirk, delivering lines that sting without ever raising her voice. It’s controlled, it’s cool, and it’s clear: she’s not here to play nice. ‘Eyesore’ is unapologetically femme fatale RnB that swings hips and shuts lips, and by the end, there’s no doubt who’s in control.

Another win from Emeree Music . Go check out 'Eyesore' now via the article below

Sassy RnB & nu soul queen, EMEREE returns with her sharpest single yet in ‘Eyesore’ - a sugar-coated sliced of pop revenge, wrapped in addictive RnB production, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and vocals that don’t just cut - they slice clean through.

My Chérie explores new horizons and old questions on epic, etherial indie single, 'Life is'

Clocking in at just under three minutes, “Life Is” doesn’t waste a second reaching for the epic. My Chérie conjures something grand and cinematic with modest indie instrumentation — guitar, bass, drums — woven through with glistening synth strings. There's a sense of restraint in the tools, but not in the delivery. Vocally, My Chérie lands somewhere between Ayla’s ethereal intimacy and Kate Bush’s theatrical flourish, commanding the track’s emotional arc with finesse.

It’s the kind of songwriting and performance that makes your own world feel suddenly enormous — or maybe small — like we’re all just drifting specks sharing a fleeting moment. “Life Is” is beautifully dizzying in its scope, intimate yet unbound.

Now go check out the song in full via the article below.

pretty good thanks My Chérie

Inspired by an eye-opening three-month solo adventure across Europe, Adelaide-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist My Chérie has released her latest single, ‘Life is’.

Mont Rose and Lhēon team up for the effortlessly silky bounce, 'Me and You'

Immensely immersive, Me and You brings together Mont Rose’s finely crafted textures with Lhēon’s effortlessly smooth vocal to stunning effect. From the first beat, there’s a sense of intimacy — a deep, warbling bass pulses underneath shifting percussion, airy ambient pads and an acoustic guitar that loops like a slow carousel ride. It’s spacious without feeling empty, layered without being cluttered. Lhēon’s voice floats through it all, grounded yet dreamlike, guiding the listener with a gentle kind of urgency. This is collaboration done right — balanced, soulful and full of quiet emotional gravity.

Go check out the new collab from Mont Rose Music and Lhēon now via the article below.

Mama Kin Spender bewitch with raw, bluesy soul folk single, 'Arrows' / announce sophomore album, 'Promises'

There’s a familiar warmth at the start of ‘Arrows’ — a bluesy progression that feels worn in, like your favourite old coat. But it’s not long before Mama Kin and Dingo Spender elevate it beyond nostalgia, weaving a vocal performance that’s both effortless and aching. Rooted in deep blues rhythms and that subtle spring reverb that wraps around the guitar like dusk light, ‘Arrows’ carries pain and comfort in equal measure. It burns the heart but soothes the soul — a slow, soulful exhale.

Amazing track that you should check out now via the article below, and keep an eye out for Mama Kin Spender as they tour throughout September, into October.

With Chrysalis, LOVELOVELOVE have constructed a seven-story tower of lush, texture-rich indie-pop, where subtle pop-rock flourishes intersect with alt-folk moments. It plays like an elevator ride—each floor welcoming a new emotional passenger, from connection and heartbreak to healing and self-growth. While you might catch fleeting glimpses of The 1975 in the rearview, Chrysalis remains unmistakably LOVELOVELOVE: emotive, detailed, and unafraid to wear its heart right on the mix.

Arabella and The Heist create a brilliant dance punk 'Ruckus' on their latest single

With ‘Ruckus’, Arabella and the Heist swerve from their usual rock ’n’ roll swagger into something darker and dirtier — a breakbeat-driven, riff-laden banger that sounds like it crawled out of a 90s warehouse rave with a switchblade in its boot. The attitude is still front and centre, but now it’s filtered through fuzz, grit and electronic menace. Ruckus doesn’t just nod to the past — it thrashes around in it, dragging punk energy onto the dancefloor with middle fingers raised. It's heavy, it’s raw, and it absolutely rips.

Epic new track from the Naarm/Melbourne outfit. Check it out via the article below, and catch them tour throughout June.

Naarm/Melbourne rock’n’roll misfits, Arabella and The Heist create a brilliant ‘Ruckus’ on their latest single, and are heading out on tour to support the new release.
