The Killers ‘Runaways’

July 11, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve always had a soft spot for The Killers. Partly it’s because their good moments can be absolutely magnificent. Partly it’s because I still know all the words to ‘Read My Mind’; partly because I loudly and drunkenly sung ‘Mr. Brightside’ at a bar once.

2012 So Far: Essential EPs

July 9, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

For some reason I’ve found myself listening to more EPs and fewer albums this year, especially when it comes to Australian music. It’s little wonder really, given how many great new bands have appeared on the scene this year, many of whom have released their debut EP recently. In fact of this list I believe all but two EPs are from bands who are yet to release a full-length record, which says a lot about just how many newly-formed bands there are floating around at the moment, just waiting to be discovered by a wider audience.

Whale Fire ‘Wild-Eyed Mistake’

July 4, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Whale Fire are a band from Little Rock, Arkansas, and they have a new album coming out in the near future. I may not know a whole lot about them, but from what I’ve heard they make nice indie folk/rock/pop/whatever music that flows easily and sounds completely natural.

Oceanics ‘Jukebox’

June 30, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Oceanics are a Gold Coast band who make happy indie pop music that’s irresistibly catchy and very, very fun. They make is seem so easy, as well. This year saw the release of their debut EP, ‘Bright People’, which is seemingly full of nothing but singles. Possibly the pick of the bunch is ‘Jukebox’, which perfectly demonstrates everything that’s good about this band.
