The Kritzlers ‘To Anywhere But Here’

November 17, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

You may have heard of The Kritzlers. Originally from Brisbane, the band migrated to Melbourne earlier this year to release their debut full-length album ‘Cochlear Kill’, which includes a couple of older singles released while the band was still based in Brisbane. Most notable of these older tracks is ‘Scarlet Sometimes’, which received a bit of love from the ol’ Js, and deservedly so. I’ve had a chance to listen to ‘Cochlear Kill’, and while it really is a fantastically strong all-round album, the one track that really stands out to me is the opener, ‘To Anywhere But Here’.

Mumford And Sons ‘The Enemy’

Here’s a new short but sweet song from Mumford And Sons, ‘The Enemy’, written for the movie adaption of ‘Wuthering Heights’. Apparently there are no plans to release the song properly, which is a bit of a pity because it’s rather awesome. At the moment you can only listen to it accompanied by a trailer for the film.

Bree Tranter ‘Winter’

November 16, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

Like a lot of people I was pretty disappointed with the breakup of Townsville’s most promising new band (not that there was a huge amount of competition), The Middle East. Born out of the death of that outfit however is the new career of former bandmember Bree Tranter, who provided the vocals for many of the more haunting moments of The Middle East’s music. Listen to her new(ish) solo single ‘Winter’.

Last Dinosaurs ‘Zoom’

November 16, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

If I’m completely honest, when I first saw Brisbane band Last Dinosaurs live I would have never in a million years predicted that the group would go on to be as big as they are now. That’s not to say that they were bad live, far from it in fact, but rather that they played to one of the smallest crowds I’ve ever seen at a gig, consisting of mostly “friends and family” as the band themselves put it. Plus me and a mate. But, to their credit, the band really do look poised to make it big rather soon, and their latest single ‘Zoom’ demonstrates why perfectly.

The Clues ‘This Year’

November 16, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

It really does seem as if Brisbane has a monopoly on happy Australian indie pop music at the moment. And I was recently introduced to a new band to add to the growing collection, The Clues. They do enough to set themselves apart from the rest by packing so many different ideas and styles into single tracks, and ‘This Year’ is the perfect example of this.
