MT – Dear One

It was a sad day for the local Brisbane music scene when Yves Klein Blue broke up, not least of which because the break up was compounded by the fact that frontman, Michael Tomlinson, left Aussie shores and headed to London.

The War On Drugs – Red Eyes

Tell you what, The War on Drugs just keep getting better and better with each album, don’t they? “Red Eyes”, a cracking tune, comes from a cracking album, “Lost in the Dream”, which just dropped last week.

Creekwood – Late Night Mr Right

There’s a lot of potential here from the Creekwood boys – still a fairly new band (they only released their debut EP in September 2013), I’ll be keeping my eye on them for the future.
