Melbourne/Naarm-based musician Will Weir is adding more form and substance to his new caustic post-punk project Big Bill and the Bigots, releasing the visuals for his most-recent single ‘Sunday Mourning’.

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’.

In a first for Weirdo Wasteland, here is a premiere of the video for ‘The Other Girls’ by Valentine Dial. The dreamy nostalgia of the song and the heady aesthetic makes for a winning combo. This song is well worth a listen.
