funny faces - THE BLSSM

The tender yet tough alt-pop THE BLSSM is back with 'funny faces', encapsulating a melodramatic dance floor - it's an anthemic heart-ache for moments without band-aids. THE BLSSM exudes an effortless energy, both endearing and born of a wild but vulnerable punk spirit. With co-signs from BROCKHAMPTON, Courtney Love, Charli XCX + more, you know you're in for a treat.

NOT RN! - Lara Andallo

‍

Filipino-Australian popstress Lara Andallo is showing a more sensual side in the trap-inspired track 'NOT RN!'.
“This was the first song I wrote when I got back home to Australia after being away for a few months. I was still in the headspace of not wanting to deal with my problems. I know everyone feels this way at some point, and the hook lyrics are really just my inside thoughts. I wanted them to be something anyone could chant" said Lara. Catch her at Souled Out Festival across Australia this month!

Blow the Speakers - Robbie Mortimer

‍

High octane country rocker Robbie Mortimer has just dropped 'Blow the Speakers'. A high energy country anthem that follows the dreams of a country kid from his first guitar to his first car to hitting the back roads with the radio pumping as he searches for the soundtrack to his life – the songs that will one day evoke the memories from this moment in time.

‍

faery - ostara

‍

The wistful faery has released 'ostara' a dreamy psychedelic love song inspired by the Spring Equinox- which will have you feeling sexy, velvety and sensual. It’s spiritual pop, ancient future fusion and indie that drips with psychedelia. It reverberates with intention - each song is crafted around a healing solfegio frequency, masked within dreamy folk pop.
