Who's That.

The War on Drugs.

Latest new release.

It’s been a while, and was getting to missing them.

Classic Drugs song, and clasic Adam Granduciel composition.

His guitar work is just a fresh as ever.

And here’s the YouTube video Who’s That - watch him play.

Earth's Still Spinning

Ups and Downs

These guys have been around since 1993, after forming Brisbane, then moving to Sydney.

Before my Australian time, and did not come across them when I was there, but hey that’s music discovery for you.

As far as I can tell, this is just there forth album, or rather EP, and it’s been a while since The Sky's in Love With You back back in 2017.

This is a great laid back song, one to listen in those relective moments we all have.

I Turn

Darren Middleton

Classic indie rock song from the latest album from Darren Middleton.

Surprisngly his 6th solo album - was the whole Powderfinger thing that long ago?

Yes, it was and he’s forever noted as ‘as guitarist and songwriter’ for that great Australian band (1991 - 2010).

I Could Be Wrong

Linda Lindas

One thing did come out of death of everynoise.com was wider and wider search to find an alternative. And just to be clear, there really isn't one.

Before turning to AI generated new music release search bots, one site I have used for many years is AllMusic that has a new release section which you can sign up for a weekly email.

Long story short: The Linda Lindas new album, Gotta Get Out, was featured in this week's AllMusic, and this is my choice from that album.

A very interesting LA based 'post punk, garage rock, power pop, new wave and rock en español' (from their Spotify blurb).

Reminds me in some ways of the British group 'Dream Wife', even if that group does have a male drummer.
