SEASIDE - HOME REMEDIES

Byron Bay's indie-rock four-piece close out the year with more sultry dream-pop, following 'Joyride'. The punchy 'Home Remedies', a Cure-inspired track with a surfy punk-rock vibe, "is about the somewhat more rational alter-ego in a girls mind, the side we sometimes seem to suppress when we're in love," says frontwoman Darcy Dexter.

ONONO - FONTELINA

The psych-pop project of Wellington, NZ's Jono Nott (sometime drummer with Hans Pucket, and Broods), takes on a new, more synthy, chamber-pop sound on this new single, released last week. Nott says it is a self-reflective piece, after his EP 'Stand' last year. Catch live at Meow in Wellington on November 30.

SLOWLY SLOWLY - SAFETY SWITCH

High energy, pjnk-infused rock single from the Melbourne band, featuring guest vocals from Adelaide-based singer-songwriter Bec Stevens. "I tried to showcase how you get stuck on footholds in arguments and eventually lose the point of what you’re trying to achieve," says frontman Ben Stewart. "It’s about being stubborn and wanting to win despite the consequences, and then being reminded in those very human moments, in the aftermath, of what is really important."

The debut single from the Sydney-based alt-rock duo: Thom Eagleton (Wild Honey, Burn Antares) and Renee del la Motte. A catchy two and a half minute guitar vibe with lush harmonies. Catch live at their single launch show at The Vic on the Park, Sydney on December 21.
