Melbourne’s Bananagun are dropping a brand-new 7” next month on Anti Fade Records featuring some colourful examples of their 60s-inspired jazz-psych. ‘Do Yeah’ and ‘Top Cat’ shows the group’s expertise in not only recreating the sounds of their inspirations and precursors, but cunningly avoiding making it sound dated or rehashed.

Canberra and Sydney outfit Lower Body is following up on a well-received 12″ with a fresh track. ‘The Oasis’ is a captivating piece of post-punk, laced with nostalgia and ache and promise. Hit the link in the bio to listen!

We’re starting off the year in loud fashion. Melbourne punk outfit Pest dropped an EP at the end of 2018 infused with fiery protest – potent, immediate and aggressive. Ahead of the band’s tour of New South Wales this month, we caught up with the group to talk evolution, the efficacy of protest songs in 2019 and how protest factors into the band’s overall ethos. Link in bio!

Erica Dunn – known to many as the magnetic guitarist and vocalist for bands such as MOD CON and Tropical Fuck Storm – has unplugged and mellowed for her solo guise Palm Springs. Palm Springs & Friends is Erica’s new album, out officially today through Tender Collection. It’s our pleasure to premiere the album in full, as well as to talk to Erica about the record’s formation and creative intent. LINK IN BIO! 📸: @sub_lation

A few months removed from the release of one of their most accomplished works (and a personal album-of-the-year contender) John Sharp Toro, The Native Cats are putting forth a new three-track 7” EP. Spiro Scratch is an epilogue of sorts; one that sees the acclaimed duo embarking on a new chapter with a clear sense of identity, unburdened by the demons that were exorcised in their still-resonant LP. 📷: Lou Conboy 🖼: Molly Dyson

Coinciding with an incredible showing and response at their mini-fest HEXFEST, incandescent Melbourne-based quartet HEXDEBT have announced that a new album is approaching on the horizon. The first taste of the record is ‘Covenant’, a brilliant and searing example of HEXDEBT’s near-unmatched intensity and barely contained fury. Link in bio! 📷: Jamie Wdziekonski
