Peter Nic – Here We Be
12 Oct 2014 South Australian singer-songwriter, Peter Nic should be sitting in a lounge, schmoosing thirty-somethings with cocktails.

No pop album release … Continue reading

Oslow – Days Are So Bright Now
15 July 2014 If you’re all about lovesick emo-rock, consider Oslow the hopeless romantics outside your window with a boom box in the pouring rain.

Paper Plains – Anaestalgia
28 June 2014 Perth born, Paper Plains, have been hard at work in anticipation for their album launch in late July with their first album Anaestalgia. Although these guys have put in a conscious effort with their lyrics, the sound quality doesn’t quite meet industry standard and the vocals were lacking any real identity. It … Continue reading
