Sending you these, before your friends send them to you anyway.
There’s nothing quite like discovering your new favourite artist, and we’ve got thirteen of them to sift through!
We did the hard work, so now you can just lay back and enjoy a specially curated lineup of the best music out right now.
Jessica Leigh – I’m On Fire
‘I’m On Fire’ crackles with self-produced indie-pop spark, its quiet confidence burning bright enough to prove that no one else quite does it like her.
Jaidoss – Break Doors
‘Break Doors’ hits with Gold Coast-bred grit, its self-produced pulse swinging between rapped bars and sung hooks like a door that’s about to give.
Evan Saukam – APSARA
‘APSARA’ channels a ghostly inheritance through sparse, defiant production, a meditation on memory and survival that sounds like nothing else, because it couldn’t have been written any other way.
Zercher – Timmy Time-Time
‘Timmy Time Time’ surges with midwest emo urgency and power pop hooks, its Chicago built energy swinging between anxious confession and a chorus that begs to be shouted back.
Matt Vincent – Sculptures
‘Sculptures’ carries the quiet patience of a singer songwriter shaping sound out of silence, each line feeling less written than unearthed.
Orchid Bloom – Pomegranate
‘Pomegranate’ blooms with a self contained richness, its multi instrumental layers peeling back like fruit held too long in the palm.
Vanessa Crane – Dublin
‘Dublin’ drifts with the quiet duality of someone who shapes young minds by day and untethered melodies by night, its Brisbane born folk pop pull feeling like a journey you didn’t know you needed to take.
RIOT SON – PULSE
‘Pulse’ thrums with Appalachian Gloom, its post punk intensity and dream pop expanse turning personal isolation into something beautifully, recklessly shared.
Checkeye – Obsolete
‘Obsolete’ tears through with raw punk brevity, its April release feeling less like a statement and more like a fist through a speaker that refuses to go quiet.
bulletsoul – that girl
‘That girl’ drifts through dream pop haze with a quiet indie pop pulse, its debut single feel like a first breath held just long enough to make you wonder what comes next.
Eve Appleton Band – Little Boy
‘Little Boy’ carries the gentle gravity of a storyteller who knows that myths shape us more than we shape them, its folk tinted warmth turning a simple retelling into something that lingers like a half remembered lullaby.
Lipstick Painted Portrait – Dreaming
‘Dreaming’ drifts through a haze of neon and Polaroid fade, its dream pop shoegaze sprawl feeling like a rainy night drive where every reflection looks like a memory you’re not sure you lived.
Bad Housing – Tight & Bright
‘Tight & Bright’ burns with introspective alt indie restlessness, its title a promise that even the smallest spaces can hold a whole lot of static and glow.
