Born out of friendship, bowling, sci-fi movie marathons and literal brotherhood, The Pinheads formed out of what is now colloquially known as the Leisure Coast, spread out among the northern suburbs of the Illawarra and Wollongong region.

They quickly established themselves as one of the area’s must-see live bands; no mic stand was left unturned, no face left unmelted, no speaker stack was left unclimbed. Fans don’t leave Pinheads shows with fond memories – they leave with battle scars and folklore tales to last the ages.

Watch Rich Aucoin’s dystopian sci-fi music video for “The Other” via Clash; ‘Release’ is out on May 17th

“The Other” video takes place on an alien planet where a tyrant rules a dystopian society divided into quadrants based on the various colors of the aliens’ masks. There is a strict no physical inter-colored contact rule on this planet such that even the soldiers on this planet only touch others with long metal sticks. The Blue and Red hero/heroines of the story live in their segregation watching their own versions of the news until they join forces in a rainbow revolution against the tyrant and ruling class. Inspired by George Lucas’ THX and Ridley Scott/Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, the video reveals the album cover image of the upcoming Release with Rich’s 3D printed skull.

Melodic indie rockers Para Lia present new ‘Hawk Hill’ single

Melodic alternative / indie rock duo Para Lia have announced their new single ‘Hawk Hill’, which will release on June 14. A special Bandcamp edition also features two additional tracks: ‘Over It (single version)’ and ‘On My Way Home’.

“Hawk Hill is about my love/hate relationship with the small insignificant town of Falkenberg, where I spent my childhood. In German, ‘Falke’ means hawk and ‘Berg’ means mountain. But in fact Falkenberg has no hawks or mountains. The words ‘Hawk Hill Lane’ popped into my head one day while working on a guitar riff – it was a ‘Penny Lane’ moment, reminding me of the street I walked down every day to go to school. The vocals reflect today’s view on a town with the same fate as many small towns in rural East Germany,” says René Methner.
