I posted about Brisbane band Cub Scouts’ latest single ‘Do You Hear’ a while ago, and even a few weeks later I can confirm that it is still on very high rotation indeed. It’s a delightful, catchy, and very slick track, and the band have just released a music video for it, which you can check out below along with the Soundcloud stream of the song.

Queensland act Gung Ho have released a new single, the followup to their breakout track ’Twin Rays’.

The album is called ‘Rhyme And Response’, and it’s out June 19th. This is the first single from it, ’Philander’.

There’s been a bit of a lack of new music that interests me over the last week, so in the interests of keeping the blog rolling here’s another track from Tom Rosenthal, who I posted about a little while ago and whose music I have fallen in love with. This time the song is called ’Forgets Slowly’.
