It’s a lemon-sorbet heartbreak banger: soft and sour, effortlessly sticky and absolutely replay-worthy.

Gia’s ability to blend gloss with emotional honesty now feels like a clear evolution—she’s refining her sound while keeping the core feeling alive. “Subtle Changes” is pop that invites you in sweetly, then pulls the heartstrings just when you least expect it.

Sydney's Chuck Sics drops lush indie / alt pop anthem in 'I've Been Thinking' - announces upcoming debut EP

‘I’ve Been Thinking’ is a lush ride through nostalgia-tinted pop rock and shimmering modern alt-psychedelia. You can hear echoes of later Beatles and Tears for Fears in its melodic lift, while flashes of Tame Impala’s kaleidoscopic swirl colour the edges—but Chuck Sics refuses to sit neatly in any box. Instead, he stitches together past and present into something that feels both timeless and fresh. The track is irresistibly catchy, yet expansive, like a magical mystery musical carpet ride that soars high before drifting through technicolour skies. It’s the sound of an artist revelling in freedom, painting with every shade they want, and inviting you to come along for the trip.

Melbourne's Excuse For An Exit go for glossy shock and awe with latest single, 'SNAP'

‘SNAP’ by Excuse For An Exit is more than a dark-pop detour — it’s a sugar-coated detonation. Glossy and infectious on the surface, the track packs a razor-edged payload beneath, blending thrashing punk energy with bubblegum grit. Excuse For An Exit weaponise riffage and distortion like a pop-savvy battering ram, channelling the venomous charm of Ecca Vandal and the hyper-hooked chaos of Peni Parker, with a sly nod to Minutes to Midnight-era Linkin Park. It’s rage in high-gloss packaging — and it snaps just right.��

There’s an effortless cool running through it all, but it never feels detached. ‘The Chase’ isn’t just built for the dancefloor — it stalks it, all swagger and shine. An Adelaide band with polish and groove to burn.

PREMIERE - Satellite Mile balances light and shade on debut darkwave album, 'The Water's Edge'

A fully immersive listen, ‘The Water’s Edge’ blends the cold pulse of isolationist electronics with deeply human textures, unfolding like a digital fever dream—neon-lit and noir, a flood of zeroes and ones crashing over flesh and bone. Moody yet strangely inviting—especially on tracks like ‘Limits of Language’—Satellite Mile conjures a kind of lucid escapism, steering the listener away from the everyday and into a world built from lush synths, chiming guitars, and thunderous ‘80s industrial-goth rhythms.

There are traces of Violator-era Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel’s So, and the shadowy drama of Nine Inch Nails threaded throughout, coloured by darkwave hues and cinematic ambition. ‘The Water’s Edge’ feels like the soundtrack to that final, fragile hour before dawn—the album’s arc moves from cold darkness toward something warm and awakening, as if the light is just beginning to rise.

A captivating listen from start to finish, take in the new album from Satellite Mile right now via the article below.

Gold Coast genre-bender, Satellite Mile unveils his debut full length album, ‘The Water’s Edge’ - an immersive journey into progressive darkwave soundscapes pulled together at Brisbane’s So Soap Studios.

Melbourne's divedown announce their signing to Ninth Life Records and share brand new single, 'Blame Game'

“Blame Game” sees divedown throw shoegaze haze and alt-rock noise into a blender with the kinetic bounce of pop-punk. It’s wrapped in thick, velvety fuzz — the kind that hits like nostalgia and cushions every chord. The rhythm section hammers its way through the track, locking into a relentless pace, while the vocals lean into emo territory without tipping into cliché. The real trick here is how divedown ride that energy for a good three-quarters of the song — a glorious wall of guitar and grit — before yanking it all back into a cheeky, sludgy breakdown that drips with slow-burning heaviness. It’s dynamic, self-aware, and seriously satisfying.
