With the vibrant indie music scene in Australia and New Zealand constantly outshining much of the output from their British and American cousins, Little Indie picks our weekly bunch of some of the best new tracks on offer.
DOWN FOR TOMORROW - SHOW ME THAT YOU CARE
Sydney's garage punks follow 'Thanks To You' with this new track, released November 8. Pounding drums and blazing guitars accompany energetic and gritty grunge rock melodies, guided by the angst-driven vocals of frontman Cody Stebbings. “The lyrics from this song expose the selfish and stubborn traits in my personality," he says. "It’s hard to explain the feelings of withholding and denial that surface when I realise that some people really are better off without me. Especially when the situation is in deep uncertainty, due to lack of communication on both ends. This song is about the emotions and confusion we sometimes feel, eliminating any chance of acting rationally, knowing someone you thought cared about you has well and truly moved on.” Catch live next at Crows Nest Hotel, Sydney on November 28.
MOUSEATOUILLE - MIRROR LOOK
The Melbourne experimental folk-rock band fronted by Harry Green on acoustic guitar and vocals, and drummer Spencer Noonan, lead the way on this latest track, released November 15. Quietly effective, traversing a mellow path.
DOVER ISLAND - BAD ADVICE CLUB

Melbourne punk four-piece bring more of their self-described ‘heartbreak rock’ to this new single out November 29. A song about the bad decisions, awkward situations and regrettable stories that come with being in your teens, it combines loud distorted guitars, huge drums and anthemic, emotional lyrics. Catch live at Wrangler Studios, West Footscray, Melbourne on November 30.
THE WIRES - UNDERNEATH
Sub-five-minute lead single from the Melbourne five-piece alternative rock band's forthcoming album, 'Plastic Mask'. Combining layers of synth in psychedelic and alt-rock swirls. Catch live for launch show on November 30 at The Toff In Town, Melbourne.
THE TOMMYHAWKS - SHAME
The Perth girls (Addison - vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo; Ness - bass; Jess - drums, percussion; Thea - sax, vocals) follow 'Sugar' from early in the year, with more great choruses, strong instrumentation and harmonies, and engaging lead vocal. On tour now, catch live next on November 20 at Crown and Anchor, Adelaide.
JACKSON CARROLL - HAPPYMAN
Sydney folk-pop artist drops this crisp and catchy, feel-good jam, lifted from forthcoming EP 'Name It After Me' which drops on November 22. The track is accompanied by a video, shot at South Cronulla bowling club and directed by 17-year-old Joel Bryant. Catch live next on December 19 at Brass Monkey, Cronulla, Sydney.
