Melbourne’s Cool Sounds are making moves. Less than a week on from the release of their latest EP Gristle, the group is dropping a fresh clip for standout track ‘Grudge’. Set to a backdrop of pristine Australian wine country, the track and its accompanying flick ruminates on past regrets, fresh starts and baptism by vino.
Melbourne trio Dianas follow up on the release of their incredible EP Leave Love with an equally as impressive video for the title track. The band has linked up with director Tom Mannion to create a stylish and sublimely edited clip that shows that a quality visual accompaniment can always enhance a song.

Weirdo Wasteland, in conjunction with photographer Jeff Andersen Jnr. and Jet Black Cat Music, put a call out to some BIGSOUND 2017 artists we admire to enlist them for a series of portraits taken at Bloodhound Bar throughout the week.
Weirdo Wasteland favourites The Harpoons graciously gave their time to pose for some shots. The band is on the cusp of releasing its second album Amaro, which will be out Friday April 13. Before that album arrives, The Harpoons are sharing new single ‘Pressure’, which follows on from previous tunes ‘Do You Want My Love’ and ‘Reassurance’.
