Following on from legendary performances at Falls Festival this summer and two places in the triple j hottest 100 (Maybe You Know #61 and Teach Me About Dying #50), HOLY HOLY today announces a regional tour of Australia this April.  

Brisbane's UNI/VS hit the ground running in 2017 and have wasted no time between solidifying themselves as ones to watch not only in Brisbane, but the Australian heavy scene. Today the melodic hardcore trio are offering up "Hellhound" as their first drop of 2020 and are backing it up with an accompanying Hellhound East Coast Tour to boot!

Australias favourite musical misfits and auteurs of Aussie hip hop, Butterfingers are back, breaking hearts and bones (mostly their own) with a killer new single, Dancing (To The Beat Of My Own Drum), out January 30.  Confident and with more ecstatic energy and sharp lyrical wit than ever before, Dancing (To The Beat Of My Own Drum) is classic Butterfingers.

2019 was a watershed year for heavy music in Australia and indeed, the world. A titanium-strength year for releases worldwide, multiple Australian heavy music festivals stormed the scene, successful tour after successful tour destroyed venues all over the country - and the scene galvanised more than ever!

Today sees the release of the deluxe album edition of Tora’s richly-textured second album Can't Buy The Mood. The deluxe version contains two added B-Sides as well as a raft of carefully-curated remixes from producers around the world including Sydney’s Two Another who have re-worked the album title track with lush house vibes. Full tracklist is below.

RACKETT’S ‘Oxytoxic’ has been added to Triple J Unearthed rotation, as well as set of single launch gigs in Sydney and Melbourne

The Lazy Eyes are a Sydney four-piece who create prismatic, sprawling psychedelic rock. ‘Cheesy Love Song’ is the lead single from their debut EP, the first of a number of releases over the coming year. Listen and watch HERE.

2020 brings Sydney songwriter and performer Vetty Vials into a brand new creative chapter. Having first established herself on the touring circuit back in 2017 with the I am okay, I promise EP, the artist has developed into a formidable new voice with evocative stories to burn. Her debut album, Conversations With Myself, is the perfect introduction to Vetty Vials’ sound, while single ‘Pride’ leads from the front with heart.

They don’t come much more energetic than Sydney’s WAWAWOW - their name alone is like a neon slap to the senses - and to kick off a brand new year, the four-piece present a brand new collection of music in the cracking debut album, PINK ELEPHANT out Friday, February 14th. Warping and threading psych, funk and hectic electro-indie influences throughout, the record is the perfect snapshot of the band’s attitude toward creating music. Leading the charge, WAWAWOW’s new single ‘The Big Cookoff’ is delightfully bonkers - just how they like it.

Kingswood are back, baby.  Following on from the release of singles ‘Say You Remember’ and ‘You Make It So Easy’ in 2019, the Melbourne four-piece kick off 2020 with the announcement of their long awaited third studio album Juveniles and the latest single, the intoxicating ‘Bittersweet’. Along with the reveal of new music,

It has been an absolutely huge 12 months for THE VANNS. With the release of their debut album Through The Walls, the South Coast band firmly cemented their identity as one of Australia’s most formidable names on the indie rock circuit. Now, with a new decade already kicking into gear, The VANNS announce they’re getting back out on the road this Autumn and to boot, they’re releasing a special new version of album track, ‘Jules Said’.

Following on from the release of their 2019 track ‘Don’t Complicate It’, Sydney indie pop group Mesmeriser are back with another effortlessly catchy single in ‘Trigger’. The trio continue to thrive on well arranged harmonies and melodic progressions as they lean more into a garage rock direction for their first offering for 2020.

Since the Lorne Falls Festival cancellation and the fundraiser shows that followed, many more shows are being organised and announced, and they just keep comin’! Keep tabs here for regular updates on new fundraiser gigs as they come.

Today Gold Coast-based rapper Saint Lane shares his latest single, ‘Hickeys,’ his first new music of 2020. Of the track, Lane says: “Hickeys is about moving in circles. Working the same job, going to the same bars and seeing the same people every weekend. Getting caught in the loop and wanting to break free. Seeing some people around you break that loop and seeing some people stay in it.” 

We feel that this is a good way to contribute directly to the crisis occurring but also to acknowledge the challenges this country will continue to face in the wake of climate change, as these crises become more and more devastating. Energy into a movement that matters more than anything else.

That’s right, you read it, the ORIGINAL WIGGLES have reunited for a one-off fundraiser show in Castle Hill NSW, to raise funds for the Australian Fire Crisis.

Rev up the Big Red Car and grab a bowl of cold spaghetti because the four original members of Aussie children’s music group The Wiggles are reuniting for a very special, one-off show.

To the artists and to everyone involved with organising the fundraiser gigs for the bushfires all across Melbourne tonight after Falls Festival Lorne 2019/20 was cancelled; the biggest of kudos and thanks. What a legendary outcome from one shitty situation to help out people in an even worse shitty situation. A rare occasion to be proud of fellow humans. Here’s a list of the gigs going on tonight.

Following a milestone year in which his 2018 independently-released debut album 'Women, Weed & Wordplay' racked up a staggering 60 million streams and counting, stayed in the ARIA Album chart for 52 weeks straight, launched two Gold-certified singles and became the 13th highest selling Australian album of 2019, lauded underground Sydney rapper Chillinit today announces his much anticip…

This all-Australian lineup of acts was already a colossal statement for the brand new festival, but with the new lineup additions, things just got a whole lot bigger.  LTTLE KNG are set to get the dancefloor vibing with their eclectic cocktail of soul, hiphop and pop, while Coffs locals Seafome will be bringing their groovy surf-rock to centre stage, and DJs Dr. Cool and Prof. Funk spinning crowdpleasing bangers for the masses.
