This is just a quick one, but for all of the Damnwells fans out there in my readers (and I know there’s quite a few of you), some exciting news. The Damnwells are going to be releasing their new album, One Last Century, February 10. Get ready. Spread the word. It’s going to be awesome. […]

Little Birdy Maybe it’s just because I’m having some personal issues right now, but this new single from Little Birdy, “Brother”, from their upcoming album, “Confetti” is one of the most soul-rending songs I’ve ever heard. The track also features Australian music legend, Paul Kelly on harmonica and backing vocals. This song is killing me, […]
So, last night, I saw titans perform at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Not only did I see My Morning Jacket perform as the opening act, but then Neil Young came on and absolutely tore the stage apart.
