THE SOUTHERN RIVER BAND
Hailing from Thornlie, Western Australia, The Southern River Band have rock & roll in their DNA and the road as their natural habitat. Led by the charismatic Cal Kramer, they blend hard rock, boogie and southern rock with incendiary guitars, huge choruses and an attitude that feels straight out of the ’70s without ever relying […]
LILLY HIATT
Firmly rooted in Nashville but never constrained by the boundaries between genres, Lilly Hiatt has built a career where alternative country meets indie rock, folk and guitars that know when to caress and when to make a racket. The daughter of John Hiatt, she has carved out a voice entirely her own through albums such […]
JOANA SERRAT
Hailing from Vic but with her sights firmly set across the Atlantic, Joana Serrat has forged one of the most distinctive careers in Spain’s Americana scene. Folk, country, rock and psychedelia come together in songs filled with enveloping atmospheres and a sense of melancholy that never shies away from electricity. Following albums such as Cross […]
BAD RELIGION
Few bands can claim to have turned critical thinking, melody and speed into a formula as instantly recognisable as Bad Religion. Formed in Los Angeles in 1980 and led by Greg Graffin, they are one of the fundamental pillars of American punk, pushing the genre into territory where melodic harmonies meet lyrics that question politics, […]
DAVE HAUSE
With his heart firmly rooted in punk and his eyes on the great American songwriting tradition, Dave Hause has spent years proving that a great song can hit just as hard with an acoustic guitar as it can with a full band. After cutting his teeth in Philadelphia’s punk scene with The Loved Ones, he […]
FOXY SHAZAM
Excess, theatricality and rock & roll with absolutely no intention of going unnoticed.

With the magnetic Eric Nally at the helm, the […]
THE BEVIS FROND
Few figures embody the independent spirit of British rock quite like Nick Saloman, the driving force behind The Bevis Frond since the mid-’80s. Born as an almost entirely DIY project, the band have built a world of their own where psychedelia, garage, indie and guitar rock come together through bright melodies and sprawling instrumental passages […]
THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS OF HEZEKIAH PROCTER
What if the lost recordings of a 1920s country legend suddenly surfaced today? The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Procter plays precisely with that fiction. Behind the mysterious Hezekiah is Montreal musician Li’l Andy, who invented the life and songs of this supposed country pioneer and recorded them using 1930s technology to recreate the sound of […]
RIVAL SONS
Rival Sons have never felt the need to disguise their influences. ’70s hard rock, electric blues, soul and psychedelia form the foundations of a sound that also draws on the weight of stoner rock and contemporary production. Since 2009, the Californians have used that heritage to develop a language of their own, built around Jay […]
WILCO
For three decades, Wilco have shown how far a song can stretch without losing its centre. Led by Jeff Tweedy, the Chicago band have moved from alternative country into experimentation, noise and an increasingly hard-to-define form of rock. Albums such as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born expanded that language for good. With […]
