Our latest video offering is No Show from our album, Superhappyfuntimesfriends. When I found out this old Japanese monster movie was in the public domain, I just had to fuck with it. Even though it’s trimmed down from 90 minutes to three, I don’t think the continuity of the film is that effected. The plot may in fact make more sense to certain people with this particular edit.

Wednesday April 6th marked a sad day in Australian music history. The Sydney indie boys of Red Riders have decided to part ways after eight years of rocking out. And while a sinking feeling entered my heart upon hearing that one of my favourite bands will no longer make music together, I wish them all the best. Read more

The Bag Raiders are Australian producers Chris Stracey and Jack Glass and they recently released their debut album, BAG RAIDERS, on Modular Records. Their second single, Sunlight, is exactly what I need right now. I have been dancing around to it all morning. They are a fantastic recipe for bad weather downers.

Ah, ha! Our favourite Aussie indie band, The Paper Scissors, have a new single out, Lung Sum, from their second full-length album, In Loving Memory. Oh, and the video is kinda fun. Of course.

Having recently returned Down Under from recording in London and Los Angeles, Australian rockers Ghostwood are back on the indie scene with their new single, Sunset Mirage. It was penned in LA while working with Dave Cooley of Dappled Citied and Dangermouse mastering fame. Although their new material has matured a great deal since Red Version days, they still bear the same old hazy, raw and nostalgic sound that we love.

Australian electro group PVT has just released their track, Light Up Bright Fires, as a digital remix EP on Oct 19. The single, which is the second to be released from their album Church With No Magic, is full of twisted synth sounds and ominous, shape-shifting vocals.

This video here makes me happy for several reasons: the tune is great, the boys are cute, the vocals and the groove are really my thing, and the video, directed by Lucinda Schreiber and Beatrice Pegard, simply rocks. It was shot frame by frame, then re-shot using over 2,000 printed pieces of paper.

Producing a string of international hits without releasing an album in the space of four years isn’t the norm for most artists. But Australian electro-pop outfit Miami Horror aren’t your average musicians playing by the rules. The band started off as a solo endeavour turned augmented four-piece live incarnation who incessantly test the boundaries of electro territory. I chatted with founding mastermind Benjamin Plant about their recently released debut album, Illumination Read more

Australian electro four-piece Miami Horror’s have just released their debut album, Illumination, a perfect union of horns, acoustic and electric guitars, synths and looping bass lines — all of which creates a seventies French sound. Aussie disco? Ah-mazing!

Australian electronic act, Pivot, have changed their name — to PVT — and have a new album on the way, to be released through the mercurial Warp Records. Their song, Window, is typical of the dense collisions of PVT’s sound. The video was directed by Clemens Habicht (Friendly Fires) and edited at the Abbey Road Studios, using an innovative camera technique to capture the intensity of the band’s live performances.

We checked in with Aussie band, The Black Ryder, and asked them whether their new album, Buy The Ticket, Take the Ride, was a labour of love or if it fell into place really quickly. Aimee Nash, one half of the duo, replied that ‘it was definitely a labour of love considering we wrote, recorded and produced the entire album ourselves. Some songs were easier than others, and some took over a year to complete. Scott engineered the album yet we produced everything together so there were many tireless hours spent at the studio desk’. Said Scott Von Ryper, the other half of the group: ‘Most of it fell into place really quickly and then took over a year to refine it all. Some songs were written and recorded in a night, and then we just kept layering and tuning it until it sounded the way we dreamed it should be. We got told many times that early versions we were playing to people sounded ‘finished’, but we couldn’t help ourselves. The production side of creating music can be very enjoyable as well, so we took our time to explore it’. [Read a Secret Playlist by The Black Ryder]
