Walk Off The Earth ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’
It takes something pretty special to make the most over-played, over-hyped, over-Facebook-statused, and over-covered song sound refreshing and special, but Canadian band Walk Off The Earth have done just that with Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’. Their rendition is very faithful to the original, with one small difference: all five band members play using the same guitar. Have a look.

Inspired And The Sleep ‘Running’
A while ago I posted about Inspired And The Sleep, a project involving Californian resident Max Greenhalgh and his aptitude for making pretty summer music. The band’s first single, ‘While We’re Young’, has received plenty of blog lovin’, and now the band have released their second single, ‘Running’, including giving it the music video treatment.

Oliver Tank ‘Last Night I Heard Everything’
Syndey electro artist Oliver Tank has been receiving a bit of attention lately. His debut EP ‘Deams’ was recently featured on NPR’s prestigious Top 5 Bandcamp Releases Of The Year list, the EP’s first single, Last Night I Heard Everything, is being used in a Get Up ad campaign in support of gay marriage which has been viewed over three million times on Youtube, and he has been nominated for a whole host of awards.

Colour Coding ‘Perfect’
Like a lot of people I’m suffering a bit from shimmery-indie-summer-electro-pop over-saturation as of late. It seems like half of the new Australian bands I hear about fit into this caricature, and even though they may be perfectly capable bands, there can certainly be too much of a good thing. But I guess that means that, when a new artist who plays that type of music stands out at me, they must be really, really good. Such is the case with Sydney duo Colour Coding, who have just released their first single, ‘Perfect’.

The Tiger And Me ‘The Smoke’
Melbourne band The Tiger And Me recently released the second in their series of three recordings, ‘The Silent City’, following from part one ‘The Howling Fire’, which was released in July of this year. ‘The Smoke’ is the first single taken from ‘The Silent City’, and it makes for enthralling listening. At once restrained and grandiose, with orchestral elements that threaten to explode and take over the song but never do as well as gorgeous interplay between male and female vocals, this is a must listen song.
