Stoked to have been part of this awesome project looking at the music industry in the Western Suburbs! Great to see some recognition of all the cool stuff going on out West which often flies under the radar. Follow Forever West Zine to stay up to date!

"‘Shambhala’, subtle yet groovy, is the perfect introduction to the music of Tom Wormald"

Porcelain Eyes' debut single is premiering over on Opinion Police ahead of its release tomorrow, go take a listen!

PREMIERE: ‘Shambhala’, the debut single from Melbourne based indie rocker Porcelain Eyes is a shimming pairing of lo-fi and psychedelia.

15/08/2020

Porcelain Eyes' debut single 'Shambhala' comes out in less than 2 weeks. Do the right thing and presave it on Spotify https://tinyurl.com/y3j7vlvw

Porcelain Eyes is the brainchild of Tom Wormald. He's from Adelaide and probably likes The Beatles too much but we won't hold any of that against him because he's a fu***ng excellent songwriter and engineer/producer. His first single 'Shambhala' comes out August 28th. Check him out:

In case you missed it, here's an interview Will did about the recent Bigots EP! Cheers to HUM Zines for the feature.

https://www.humzines.com/post/big-bill-the-bigots-let-the-empire-burn

Big Bill and the Bigot’s debut EP is a self-reflection of guilt, love and fear. Let The Empire Burn is chilling to its core. It creates a constant sensation of restlessness with its chaotic melodies and unrepentant lyrics and unapologetically refuses to allow you to breathe.

28/07/2020

Stoked to announce the newest addition to the Dead Family Pets roster, ! His self-produced debut single "Shambhala" is coming out in a month, it's an absolutely delectable slice of psych rock and we can't wait to share it with you!

16/07/2020

"Each track on this EP is filled with chugging guitar riffs, feverish drumming and thought-provoking lyricism. Big Bill is a raconteur of high calibre"

Cheers to Alexander Catherwood for this awesome review of Big Bill's EP!

You awaken in a cold, damp basement. A single, dusty lightbulb swings like a pendulum above you, as you clear your eyes of sleep. The four cinderblock walls around you ooze a translucent, sticky gr…

It's with great pleasure that we can finally announce that Big Bill and the Bigots will be releasing their debut single "Sunday Mourning" next Sunday morning (24th April). We can also confirm that, unlike Carole Baskin, the rumours that he killed his ex-husband are utterly baseless.
