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. To be honest, the guy’s awesome, but I wasn’t sure we’d hear him again, […]
Yeah, I know we’re going back to 2013 with this one. So what? It’s a cracking tune still… dig it. You can download the track from the band’s website here, for free. Because they’re cool like that.
Hard to believe I’ve been writing about Robert Francis for 6 years now, but in that 6 years the dude has totally been writing the soundtrack to my life. So when I heard Robert had dropped out of the music business, shaved his hair and fallen into drugs following the release of Strangers in the […]

So, I totally slept on these dudes in 2013, but 2014 is seeing me hit Jared & The Mill’s debut album, “Western Expansion”, super hard. There’s an energy in this album that’s just simply irrepressible, particulary in the opening trio of tracks, “Breathe Me In”, “Returning Half” and “In our Youth”, which – as an […]
