VIDEO: Jesse Mac Cormack - Repeat

SONG PICK: Hazels - The Cure

No fuss, no frills straight forward melodic alt-rock that’s what Newcastle five piece Hazels tend to create. From their recently released double single “The Cure”/”Can’t Ignore”, I chose the slightly darker “The Cure” as  our Song Pick of the Day. The track boasts a driving beat right

This track fools you: at first you believe Melbourne singer/songwriter Dannika sits there alone in her room with a guitar, but then drums set in and there are even down-pitched vocals, like a nod to contemporary production techniques. It is still a song about an intimate moment, but it

NEW TRACK: Danae - Actualized

There is a lot of indie pop music out there these days, but Danae’s second single “Actualized” stands out with gravity and restraint: While the song is about an unmitigated love story, it is one where the protagonist knows what she goes into.

With so much great bands coming out from Liverpool, UK these days, I lost a bit track… and almost (!) forgot about this stunner of a song. Despite the maybe dramatic title, “Sinking Ships” by Venus Demilo is a wonderful song, thanks to Tom Anderson‘s warm, beautifully charming vocals, the
