Live Review: Kirin J Callinan, Gregor, Kirkis
"His band are routinely spot on, but Callinan really opens up when he's alone on stage."
Live Review: The Internet, Jaala
"The irony of a band so cheekily named asking us to raise our smartphones while preaching the death of personal ego gets a little lost in the moment."
Album Review: Villagers - Where Have You Been All My Life?
"The band is note perfect and O'Brien's voice undeniably affecting."
Live Review: Young Fathers, Ecca Vandal, Black Vanilla
"In the end, the result is a bit like three kids in a trench coat trying to pass themselves off as an adult."
Album Review: Troye Sivan - Blue Neighbourhood
"Troye Sivan is nothing if not an overachiever."
Album Review: Royal Chant - The War Cry Of Failure
"[Spence] keeps his eye on the 'ten dollar hand jobs' and 'cheap cocaine'."
Yellow Brick Road
"I was on his website and got really inspired so I hit the contact button and wrote him a weird poem. He actually called me but I didn’t believe it was him, I thought it was just one of the band guys doing an accent and taking the piss."
Live Review: Kathryn Rollins, Indian Red, Kikuyu
A better than expected version of Beyonce’s Halo is trotted out for her housemate’s birthday but it’s her own compositions in Cold Water and closer Reckless that have the crowd hanging on her every swoop and dive.
Even Stevens
"We had a lot that we wanted to cram on. It’ll probably be really irritating to listen to but we’ve gotta get it out of our systems, I guess.”
Live Review: Emma Louise, Thelma Plum, Patrick James
The almost party starting Freedom – a track which sees Louise letting her hair down a little, leaving her uncertainties at the door and, much like her devoted fans, just enjoying the moment.
