Cut Your Hair – Mad Love Now this is possibly the strangest but catchiest song I’ve heard for a while. Opening with the lyrics “Raveee…” does make me think “what is this”?

Who today listens to just domestic music? With Australia cranking out catchy indie rock tunes and the U.K. turning out its usual steady stream of musical exports, exotic music is on the rise.

Almost a year ago the water works began at the announcement that Jet was breaking up. The sun seemed to be setting on Australian alternative rock music. However, new innovative bands are arriving on the scene and providing a fresh sound that is giving hope to everyone’s inner-Aussie. Last Dinosaurs was the first band to [...]

His album is lengthy and poetic and sounds like the product of a boy and his guitar, and his album art looks like expired film from the 70s, screaming of fading childhood and bittersweet memories… I found him while working my way through links upon links to artists recommended by other local artists on BandCamp.com.
