Pleased as punch to end our hiatus with an early front-runner for song of the year. Melbourne power-pop five-piece Romero is dropping a double A-side next month that is brimming with trenchant energy. Brilliantly radiant and uncompromising from the outset, ‘Honey’ is the kind of summer-appropriate track we could use during a period of noxious current affairs.

Canberra-based neo-synth-pop artist Gus McGrath aka California Girls is releasing the second track from his forthcoming record Beat Boy (out in March 2020 through Dero Arcade). ‘Small Birds’ is an irresistibly danceable track that places the listener in the bowels of a pulsing subterranean rave as Gus moves through a heaving mass of bodies, searching for true intimacy amid an uncaring world hooked on physical immediacy.

As we celebrate the spookiest day of the year, Melbourne darkwave legend V steps out of the gloom to gift us the visuals for their anti-love song ‘All Lovers Deserve to Die’ from their album So Pure. Set to a mash-up of imagery from iconic romance movies and ultra-gory B-grade horror flicks, V reminds us all about the brutality of love and the fine line we walk between passion and hate.

In between periods of activity with Hierophants and Parsnip, Melbourne musician Paris Rebel Richens has been slowly chipping away at a collection of solo recordings. Operating under the name P.P. Rebel, Paris has assembled these songs (all self-written, performed and recorded) into P.P Is… Peeping Piebald Past The Night! a solo tape set for release in November through Anti Fade Records. Listen to the album’s lead single ‘Where The Quiet Go’ via the link in our bio! 📷: Charlotte Tobin

Boasting a hearty dose of sonic savagery and ruinous punk chug, Future Suck gives ears a taste of a forthcoming cassette release (out in December through Blow Blood Records) with ‘Brat’. This demo track is short, sweet and to the point, which is the best way to introduce yourself when ears are being pulled in every direction. 📷: @cockneytravels

It’s been 15-odd months since Melbourne-based hard-rockin’ trio Power took us on a high-octane joyride with their Turned On LP, and now someone’s gone and given them the damn keys again. This outing, Power is only zipping a quick circuit with a two-track 7-inch single, but they’re pressing the accelerator even harder than before. Power peels out and away with a blistering intensity that leaves nothing behind but a scent of petrol fumes and burnt rubber. Listen via the link in the bio! ⚡️
