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.

Sydney four-piece Battleships recently released their second single, Your Words, which is the followup to their debut single In Retrospect, because that’s how chronology works. In Retrospect received a heap of praise and really announced Battleships to the Australian music scene, and Your Words looks set to continue this arrival.

Brisbane band Tin Can Radio produced some great indie pop music last year, at the same time as they built a reputation for having a killer and very energetic live show. Since then they have been in hibernation for six months, but they’ve just emerged with their new single ’It Goes On’, which is easily their strongest track to date.
