STARCRAZY Unleash New EP Another Day, Another Squalor…
Australian retro-rock outfit STARCRAZY have released their raucous, high-octane new EP Another Day, Another Squalor….
“I coined the EP title after hearing a workmate say “Another day, another dollar!” every now and then at the end of the work day, a phrase I find depressing and tiresome. I added the ‘squalor’ as a reflection of the high cost of rent where we live in inner-west Sydney. It contains six bombastic heavy rock songs, each with their own groove/feel with lyrics touching on our everyday hopes and fears as well as some tongue in cheek. We feel this EP is much more polished and impactful than our last, we’re honing in on our songwriting chops and overall we’re very proud of this one. Credit is due to Russ T. Rokk who mixed it and Mo Mayhem our producer, who is a gear wiz in the studio and got the best performances out of us.” – Marcus Fraser

Mothlights – “Walking the World With A Leaky Umbrella” LP
The debut album from POC-led slowcore project Mothlights, Walking The World With A Leaky Umbrella (Strawberry Moon Records), is both an artistic feat of escapism and a statement of political, cultural, and societal defiance. The album came to be during an outpouring of fevered creativity in downtown Washington DC amidst the George Floyd uprisings, the COVID lockdown, and the events of the Jan 6th Insurrection. The 15-song record confronts political themes of decolonization, reculturation, antifascism and climate anxiety alongside personal themes of melancholy, remembrance, and mental health struggles. Preceding the album will be the eerily emotive single, Kelartic.
Strange Familia // honey.
“Names are weird,” says Strange Familia lead singer Garret Williams, “I tried thinking of a better name for this song. I really did. But this song just feels like honey to me.” Comfort, warmth, beauty, and sweetness are all appropriate descriptors he lists off for both honey and the quiet, unflinching kind of love that inspired the lyrics of the band’s upcoming single before adding, “it can also be a sticky, inconvenient mess.”

New Item to Post: Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad’s Fresh Collaborative Approach On New Single “Revolution”
The spirit of collaboration was truly in the air with the creation of this track. GPGDS bassist James Searl explained that “‘Revolution’ was originally a late-night studio jam that we sent to Alborosie to see what he could cook up. ‘You want me to add the spicy sauce, yeah?’ he said. With that, he took the drums and vocals and crafted an absolute bomb of a musical collaboration, with horns from Milan and bass lines from Jamaica. We knew that this was the tune that we wanted our east-coast-grinding homie of nearly twenty years, Josh Swain, of the Movement, to spit hot fire on. Josh came with his southern sticky Goodie-Mob-a-licious rapid fire delivery to bring the song up to 1,000%. Exactly the kind of collaborative style we were going for as we dove deep into creating Love In Time.”
