Turn This Up: Ozzie hard rockers Hawker drop speaker-breaking debut double A-side single ‘Bot Noxious’ and ‘Chaka’

Posted on 27 November 2021

With a slasher-like sound that reverberates ominously into your previously-calm consciousness like a hot flame has just been lit into your heart and won’t stop burning, Hawker strips our ears apart with their debut track that have been released as one called ‘Bot Noxious‘ and ‘Chaka‘.

Hawker is a brooding Sydney, Australia-based indie hard rock band who make the sort of intense music that you either rapturously love or can’t stand at all.

”Hailing from Sydney’s northern beaches, the four-piece – Jefferson Grainger on guitar/vocals, Ish Karunanayake on lead guitar, Chris Grainger on bass and Jason Robertson on drums – conjure the spirit of grunge for the 2020s, its searing music invoking the likes of grunge-era royalty like Nirvana, Mudhoney, Hole and Tool.” ~ Hawker

Hawker might be the most hardcore band you will hear all year. Their music seems to help you get over any heartbreak you are considering, as they grab you by the scruff of the neck and take you to a community that is loaded with sweaty mosh-pits and lots of jumping around like it was 1994 again.

‘Bot Noxious‘ and ‘Chaka‘ from the full-voltage Sydney, Australia-based indie hard rock band Hawker, is a stand-up and take action type of encounter. They showcase their highly effective skills in all corners with tyre-ripping drums, window-cracking guitar riffs and head-knocking vocals that might cause an ear or two to bleed out as the paramedic’s patch you up. This is that heavy music that your neighbours might call the cops to, as it defies normal volume standards.

Posted on 2 September 2021

With a true story and a breathtaking beat from Sugimura about the dangers of those toxic relationships which can give you long-lasting scars, -B-Low- is at his honest best with the latest striking single to grab your ‘Attention‘.

-B-Low- is a Sydney, Australia pop artist. After falling in love with making music at high school, he has since used this valuable art form to escape from the harrowing road of life, which can suck you in and grab hold of you forever if you aren’t careful.

”-B-LOW’s new album brings the listener into his world of issues of Substance Abuse and other problems relating to his world. His new style is inspired by artists such as the Weeknd and The Kid Laroi.” ~ -B-Low-

After releasing the excellent ‘Wasted‘ and terrific ‘Feelings‘ in 2020, we feel the return of an artist who has unfinished business. His supremely likable style keeps you hooked the whole way through, with so much passionate and heartfelt emotion steaming from the concerned speakers.

His vocal ability is rather special, as he takes us into this story which we have either dealt with personally, or seen close friends try and handle.

‘Attention‘ from the Sydney, Australia-based pop artist -B-Low-, is a harrowing tale about how someone can have so much hold over you. Your ex’s mind games are so manipulative – as you look for love but only find pain – your heart creaks as it breaks suddenly again, while you wonder why they want to hurt you so much. This is the break-up track to play when you know you need to walk away, but keep on looking back as when you are together, their touch feels so incredibly beautiful. Until they throw you away again that is.

Looking For True Meaning: Sydney’s Tom Vs Tom drops fascinating new single ‘I’m Probably Sleeping’

Posted on 2 May 2021

Taken off his terrific debut EP called ‘Bedroom Demos’, Tom Vs Tom drops the synth-filled daydream that will have you in a gaze outside called ‘I’m Probably Sleeping’.

Tomas Somera II aka Tom Vs Tom, is an underground Australian songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, who has opened the door from his bedroom within, to create ear-filling psychedelia and cinematic mystical sounds, that transforms your mind into an alternate universe of discovery.

This is the story of wanting to be left alone for a while, as he finds what he is looking for in this rather odd world. He wants that real company but feels like he isn’t quite ready, unless its with someone who will be patient with him and help him succeed. Small-talk and meaningless dialogue just won’t cut it.

With a cruise-like beat that overflows with magnificence, this is a likable track that is so relevant in this selfish world that can seem a bit too much for the shyer person, who just wants to be around totally genuineness.

‘I’m Probably Sleeping‘ from the soulfully advanced Sydney, Australia multi-instrumentalist Tom Vs Tom, has us peering through the curtains and admiring this wonderful talent who performs with such a self-aware edge. With singles planned for the rest of the year and a full length album on the way, you feel like he is only going to blossom brighter than ever.
