Down The Way
Posted 12th Mar 2010 by Lucy Star

Aussie folk duo Angus and Julia Stone release their sophomore record today 'Down The Way'. The record is a journey, a travel journal of sorts, one that saw them record in all corners of the globe, from Golant in the UK at a studio you could only access by boat to Brooklyn, Queens, London and Coolangatta.. This travelling charm and sense of  being on the road is translated into rich harmonies with folk based tales and orchestral overtones. The pair are set to kick off an Australian wide tour next week...
Heartworn Highway.

Townes Van Zandt country-folk musician, singer-songwriter, performer and poet..... This is an extract of Heartworn Highway from 1975, the song "Waitin' Around To Die" from "For the Sake of the Song" album... Dark and beautiful and bursting at the seams with real sorrow...

LA/Australian electro-rock conspirators Jump Jump Dance Dance are a two-man outfit, comprising of DJ/Vocalist extraordinaire Chris Carter and Uber DJ/Producer Simon Lewicki. The pair have hooked Australian label and are now set to release their debut single and album.

The Jump Jump Dance Dance duo first united over a shared love of synthesizers, Australian culture and sweaty dance floors, before merging their talents to explore and tweak the happy medium between dance and rock music.

Check out the video for the band’s first single Show Me The Night, which has just been added on high rotation to Triple J. It’s due for release late March.

Maccabees Magic
Posted 22nd Feb 2010 by Anne Fullerton


As if we didn’t love the Maccabees enough already, now they’re putting songs we didn’t even know we liked at the top of our playlist. This cover of “Boom Boom Pow†by the Black Eyed Peas was recorded for Radio 1’s Live Lounge and has been sitting on repeat ever since. Frontman Orlando Weeks gets extra brownie points for fighting his way through a fit of giggles to do an almost perfect rendition of some truly ridiculous lyrics. Enjoy!

I first saw this band in London a couple of years back and was immediately struck by Petter Ericson Stakee's unique vocals. Since then Alberta Cross have moved into a heavier sound, just as beautiful but definitely with a bit more gusto. Stakee's vocals will drive you into the ground and in the same breath send you floating all the way to to cloud 9..
