Mumford And Sons ‘The Enemy’

November 17, 2011 by Lachy 1 Comment

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.

Hey Geronimo ‘Why Don’t We Do Something?’

November 9, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

Hey Geronimo are something of a Brisbane supergroup, featuring members of The Boat People, Blame Ringo!, and Montpelier, three of my favourite indie Australian bands. So it’s hardly a surprise that I absolutely love their first single.

The Good China ‘No More Maps, No More Roads’

November 2, 2011 by Lachy 0 Comments

When I saw Melbourne eight-piece The Good China live last year one song really stood out to me, their closing number ‘No More Maps, No More Roads’. At the time I was disappointed to find out that it was unreleased, but the band have recently rectified this, releasing the song as a single and a free download from their Bandcamp page. Yay!
