PREMIERE - King River Rising are here to 'Tell It To Ya Right' with feel good reggae party single

Steeped in party reggae vibes, ‘Tell It To Ya Right’ is a perfectly-paced roots groove from King River Rising, utilising reggae tropes to the utmost effect, from the horn stabs, nods to Jamaica, subtle pauses in the beats, guitar sk**ks and rounded flowing bass. The Melbourne reggae lads have adopted the coastal reggae tones more associated with SE Qld and Northern Rivers (NSW) acts and proven themselves worthy. Think a healthy balance of Fat Picnic, Bearfoot and the Jessie Morris Band, and you’d be on the right track. ‘Tell It To Ya Right’ isn’t a party starter, it’s the whole damn soundtrack to a damn good time.

Go here the new single 'Tell It To Ya Right' ahead of its Nov 8th release right now via the article below.

And catch King River Rising at Full Moon Dance in Verrierdale on November 16th (supporting Tijuana Cartel, along with Lucid Safari and Andy V).

Bully Hay delivers the raw and resonant debut album, 'Black Dogs and Songbirds'

Rich, lush and vast in tone, ‘Black Dogs and Songbirds’ is timeless songwriter rock n roll from Bully Hay; gargantuan in tone (thanks to the magic production touch from Jeff Martin), particularly in the more stadium moments like the absolutely driving and dirty ‘Such Confidence’, yet is able to show plenty of vulnerability in more raw, folk-ish tracks like the title track, and ‘Cinnamon Perfume Cabernet’. The Tea Party influence really pokes through with the mystical, middle-eastern vibes of ‘Arrest The Youth’. Bully Hay has crafted something raw and resonant in ‘Black Dogs and Songbirds’—a powerful, heartfelt album that’s full of depth and intensity, blending rock with purpose without a hint of bravado.

Bully Hay's album, 'Black Dogs and Songbirds' is out now, so check it out via the article below, plus keep an eye out for Bully Hay on tour (tour dates in the article).

Forever thinking outside the square, musically speaking, Sydney Miller once again approaches alt-pop with avant-garde flair. On ‘Copy’, Sydney’s talent for texturing and blending tones emanating from both traditional and unconventional means shines through; percussive, glitchy, and darkly quirky, incorporating office items with bouncy synths and deep beats, and Sydney’s forever enigmatic vocal delivery. ‘Copy’, and Sydney’s catalogue of works, is a gateway for a new generation to discover and appreciate the pioneers of experimental pop such as Laurie Anderson and Imogen Heap.

Sydney's Abbey Lane returns with fiery indie pop rock single, 'Just A Little'

Sunk Loto are back with their heaviest offering to date in new single, 'God Complex'

The metal deities have smiled once again on Australian heavy music, gifting us with an absolute mind-twisting, face-melting slab riffage from Sunk Loto in ‘God Complex’. The Forrester Savell touch is well and truly present on this new offering, with an absolute pummelling from a wall of guitar and drums that shifts from relentless thrash, melding into a gooey-yet-sharpened groove, all allowing Jason Brown’s vocals to bend and blend from guttural to melodious goodness. There’s a whole chunk of prog thrown in for good measure, almost cheekily giving a nod to the ‘vool at the two thirds mark. Return single, ‘The Gallows Wait’ was great, but ‘God Complex’ is bloody brilliant.

The Cheaks hit hard with latest indie rock single, 'Starting Again' - announce debut EP

Building on an 80s sequenced synthesiser riff that has an underlying sinister groove, The Cheaks have avoided bringing a standard indie rock tune in ‘Starting Again’. While the jangly reverb-drenched chords are ever-present, this track hits a lot harder than expected, particularly with the double-time choruses, nudging the track briefly into punk territory. ‘Starting Again’ has plenty of indie bounce packed in, loaded with rebellion and punch; an absolute belter of a track.
