  Riding the Carousel of independent music Album review by Angela Madden   Women In Docs shine with their enthusiasm for making music; even after more than fifteen years of playing tunes together.

  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Album review by Angela Madden   ‘The Basics’ are a Melbourne-based trio consisting of Wally De Backer (aka Gotye), Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath.

  Budding vocalist steps up to Batt Album review by Angela Madden   TANYA Batt has been compared in the music media to the likes of Florence and the Machine and Lana Del Rey.

King of The North are an Aussie drums/guitar duo intent on bringing us hard-rocking, uncomplicated music with a minimum of fuss. And they certainly deliver on this promise. King of The North make […]

  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Album review by Angela Madden   Jae Laffer is likely best known as frontman of Australian band ‘The Panics’; an acclaimed group originating from Perth who have been making music together for over ten years. Our current feature album ‘When The Iron Glows Red’ marks the first solo recording for Jae Laffer, and […]

In this instance, in the form of local band done good East Journey, and located just fifteen minutes away in Yirrkala.
