SLOW TURISMO Release ‘You Were Dead’ Video
Canberra’s Slow Turismo today offer up a tongue in cheek ‘cult classic’ video for their latest single ‘You Were Dead’.

Slow Turismo’s music nestles in between several genres, and their new video is no different. The sound of intricate guitars, scattered drumbeats, groovy bass, and lush vocal harmonies mix seamlessly into video production playing with the fact that the song and video can be interpreted in different ways with the most common interpretation not necessarily what was initially intended.

Jon C Butler to release ‘A Little Misunderstanding’ single
‘There has been a misunderstanding hasn’t there?’ laughs Jon C Butler. ‘I mean, we all know it isn’t meant to be like this and maybe there should be a reassessment of the deal.
Although we all start out in life with good intentions and kind hearts, things don’t always turn out as we hope.
Maybe life has taken us down one too many roads less travelled. Or it’s thrown us a curveball when we needed an easy catch. Or perhaps we flew too close to the sun. Or we made a wrong choice at the crossroads.

Aussie artist, Allday debuts love struck video for “In Motion ft. Japanese Wallpaper”
“Here to remind us just how bleak finding love in this digital age, cult Australian rapper/singer Allday’s latest visual rejects the hot-girl-frollicking-on-the-beach-in-a-series-of-drone-shots depiction of love in favor of killing off couples who come too close. Hello darkness, my old friend.
“In Motion” is set in an alternate 2017 (or how alternate is it, really?) where humans have lost the capacity to sustain love. Allday heads up a ‘Punch Bowl Party’ which induces young people to fall in love via simulation programs. As it turns out no one can really handle that level of emotion, though and well…it gets hectic. Relatable/10?
