“like the love child of The Ramones and Supergrass.” – Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia
Melbourne raconteurs The Grogans return in all their laconic glory on their all out audio visual psych trip ‘Inside My Mind’. Filling the big shoes of the trio’s recent success with their 7’’ double A-side singles ‘Just A Kid’ and ‘Be Your Man’—collectively added to Spotify’s New Music Friday AU & NZ, Fresh Finds AU & NZ and Local Noise playlists—‘Inside My Mind’ continues The Grogans’ prolifically inventive and pigeonhole-defying style in a bluesy psych trip of epic proportions. To celebrate the release, Quin, Gus and Jordy, are thrilled to be heading on their biggest tour to date, heading to Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.
‘Inside My Mind’ navigates perceived misconceptions and irrational thoughts in a woozy fuzz fest of swampy blues and surf psych. The song’s lucrative reverberations and hazy delay are exemplified by the Jackson Hayat directed clip with glistening colourful visuals by Nathaniel Stewart in a fever dream feast for the senses.
“Inside my mind is a track that has been around for years. I believe it was written sometime between 2016/2017. This song is based on that anxious feeling you might get from making up irrational things in your head but understanding they are just fake perceptions you’ve created. The whole song (lyrically and sonically) is a different feel for this album following the last two singles, but our albums tend to normally dip into a few different genres, reflecting the three of our different influences.” – The Grogans
Having just completed a massive sold out Australian tour with Hockey Dad, as well as performing at Sailor Jerry’s Road to Rolling Stone concert alongside Eliza & The Delusionals and The Terrys, The Grogans are in fine form and raring to go for their biggest tour to date kicking off this June across three months at major cities across Australia and New Zealand. Do not miss your chance to catch this rising chameleon act as they perform songs from their expansive surf, punk, blues and reggae catalog this winter.

Are you looking to spoil yourself after working hard for the last couple of months? Do you have a watch collection that you are looking to grow? If you answer yes to both questions, then it might be time to check out some luxury watches to add to your arsenal.
A lot of people think that watches that cost thousands of dollars are excessive. However, considering the mastery of work and effort that’s put into making these masterpieces, it’s safe to say that their price tag is well worth it. For any watch lover, that’s more than enough reason to invest in these amazing timepieces.
When it comes to luxury watches, you shouldn’t just look at the price tag of the watch. You should also look at the makers or the brand of the watch as well. A popular brand guarantees that you are getting the most out of your hard-earned money. Here are the most popular brands of luxury watches that you must check out.
Rolex
Rolex watches are considered as the Rolls-Royce of the watch industry. The brand is known for producing some of the most expensive watches in the world. They also frequently release unique and one-of-a-kind watches in limited numbers which result in prices as you’ve never seen before.
There’s a lot of history behind Rolex. For one, they were the first watchmakers to patent a waterproof watch – the now-famous Oyster model. They also made the first self-winding watch to the market as well. For film buffs, Rolex watches are the watch of choice of Agent 007, James Bond.
Rolex watches are pricey and are at the top of the chain for a reason. The brand prides itself on its dedication to quality in an industry where new models are released regularly. Rolex watches are also good to add to your collection because they increase in value over time. Of course, we doubt you’d want to sell one of their watches if you’re truly a collector.
Omega
As a brand with a history of over 170 years, you shouldn’t be surprised at how well Omega makes its watches. The brand’s watches has been to the North Pole, it has been brought to the very depths of earth, and even into space! That’s very surprising especially when you consider the fact that the brand was founded in a Swiss village back in 1848.

Omega is mostly known for the durability of their watches, hence it’s capable of withstanding various conditions. As one of the top luxury watch brands out there, Omega also puts a lot of heart and thought into making sure that each watch’s design is memorable.
Patek Philippe
Switzerland is certainly a nation where most of the best watchmakers are from. One of the brands that represent the country is Patek Philippe. Since being founded in 1839, this watch brand has been synonymous with luxury watches that are made with care and precision piece by piece.
Patek Philippe has an unparalleled approach to design in the sense that each detail is unique and a true representation of what the brand is. Many would consider Patek Philippe as the brand that is always in top contention with the likes of Rolex and it’s easy to see why.
Although the brand has been known for its traditional and timeless take on watches, Patek Philippe is not one to lag behind in terms of technology and advancements in watch design. Still, the makers of Patek Philippe watches guarantee that each peach is handmade with love and master craftsmanship.
Tag Heuer
Tag Heuer is a Swiss brand that was launched in 1860 by Edouard Heuer. It’s one of the most popular brands in the world but surprisingly, not a lot of people know the basics like what the word TAG stands for. It stands for “Techniques d’Avant Garde” which translates to avant-garde techniques – a testament to the handiwork put into making each watch.
The brand is known for its distinct design which makes it look a bit sporty even for a luxury brand. The best Tag Heuer watches look sleek, stylish, and very professional. Tag Heuer is an innovator in terms of style and function. Their watches are truly world-class and it deserves a spot in your collection.
Audemars Piguet
Another luxury brand to come out of Switzerland is Audemars Piguet. The brand is most well-known for catering to top celebs like Arnold Schwarzenegger, James LeBron, and many others by giving them truly one-of-a-kind watches. However, even their standard watches in circulation are already worth drooling for.
One of the most popular creations of Audemars Piguet is the Royal Oak model which was first introduced in 1972. It is the first stainless steel sports watch that was marketed as a luxury style piece. The watch itself combined both style, luxury, and durability which was a first during the 1970s.
To this day, Audemars Piguet continues to create timepieces that look sporty and luxurious at the same time. There’s certainly a market for such watches which is why Audemars Piguet continues to become one of the sought-after luxury brands in the watch industry.
A. Lange and Söhne
Lange and Söhne is a luxury brand from Germany. This watchmaker prides itself on its commitment to consistently delivering the best that the watch industry has to offer. It does so by making sure that each step in the making of their watches is done with precision and care.
The brand was founded in 1845. However, the company was put behind the curtains dring the first World War. The brand returned in 1990 after the reunification of Germany. With such a unique history, it’s amazing to see A. Lange and Söhne keep up with the competition quickly despite being one of the brands that technically emerged just recently.
These are just some of the top luxury watch brands in the world. If you have the budget spend and the collection to expand, then you might want to consider grabbing some watches from these top companies. You’ll be surprised at how beautiful and durable their offerings are.
Where are you currently based?
I’m currently in Thirroul, a small sea-side town in New South Wales.
How did you first start playing music?
In year 9 I bought a blue acoustic guitar off Ebay, and a guy across the road taught me all of Blink 182s back-catalog and the rest is history…
What’s been happening recently?
I just put out my first single Cost Of Love, the first music I’ve put out in three years and I’ve also been studying my Masters in Music Therapy which has been pretty fun, interesting and wild.
Your new EP ‘Lost Dog’ will be released on October 7, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I’m very excited, it’s been a long time coming. I think it definitely feels a lot meatier and grittier than my previous work. I listened to a lot of atmospheric German club stuff whilst making it and also some strong 80s bangers like Tears For Fears.
How did you go about writing the EP?
I wrote a lot of the EP with my pals Dave and Lucy at their apartment in Clovelly and I was lucky enough to collaborate with so many great people I’ve always wanted to work with including Andy Bull, Geoff Swan, Japanese Wallpaper…
Where and when did you record and who did you work with?
We did a lot of the recording in Dave’s apartment but also kinda all over the shop. We did some drum tracking at Dorny Mayes studio, some stuff at Golden Retriever and I did a couple of vocal takes in my own bedroom. We also had additional production by Tony Buchen and Gab Strum (Japanese Wallpaper) and had Geoff Swan in the UK onboard (who is my dream mixer- think Charli XCX, Haim).
Your latest single ‘Cost Of Love’ is out now, how did this track come about?
COL was kind of formed off the back of a relationship that soured… We both started to lose ourselves so the question of “how much hard work should a relationship be?” kind of came to the service and that messaging is the crux of the song.
How does it feel to release new music after 3 years?
It feels pretty darn scary and pretty darn exciting. It feels good to create something so wholeheartedly. We’ve done the whole thing independently too which I’m incredibly proud of.
You’re going on tour in August, what can we expect?
It’s a whole new band, all gals, all queer. It’s going to rule.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Maggie Rogers new record, Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra and Angel Olsen’s Big Time.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2022 going into 2023?
Writing another record, hopefully a visit to UK/Europe and more touring…
Favourite food and place to hangout?
At the moment, I love Cafe Paci. Such good pasta – oof! And I quite like just hanging out at Sandon Point dog beach or Camperdown oval. So beaut, so many doggos!
Title: CONTROVERSIA by Alok vol. 006
Label: CONTROVERSIA
Brazilian maestro Alok just dropped the 6th installment of his “CONTROVERSIA by Alok” compilation, which showcases the forward-thinking sound that the label represents right now. This time the album features 13 tracks, 8 of which are exclusive, never-released productions, coming from international talents, such as CONTROVERSIA‘s very own Bhaskar, ÜHÜ together with startups like Capsm – a talented visually impaired artist, Nyella – who is the first female producer to have a solo single on the the label, and rising Ukrainian artist Scott Rill. The sonic journey spans a myriad of genres, from the deep progressive opener “I Feel U” to emotive and ethereal like in Tineway & Ytan‘s “Telling” and Modica‘s eastern organic influenced “Don’t Stop.” What has to be also mentioned, CONTROVERSIA has just surpassed 1B Spotify streams on their catalog, achieving another milestone.
“The arrival of the 6th edition of the compilation and following the recognition that previous installments have received is a huge joy to me. The concept continues to meet our main objective, which is to maximize the reach and recognition of the Brazilian electronic music scene here in Brazil as well as abroad, giving space to a vast number of artists to create and present their music to wider audiences. With a lot of effort, today, Controversia‘s releases are being presented weekly to millions of listeners around the world through the Controversia Radio Show, which was also recently featured as a label showcase on Tomorrowland’s OneWorld Radio. I had a great time plowing through the tons of demo submissions to pick the tracks and artists I currently like the most, so I hope you’ll enjoy the selection, which includes 8 exclusive productions you can hear only on the compilation.” – Alok
With a strong resume full of remixes and collaborations with artists such as The Rolling Stones to Zara Larsson, from Jason Derulo to Tove Lo, and more, Brazilian Alok has gained an immense international following and is currently having his global breakout moment. He already has the second-largest Instagram following of any electronic artist globally (over 27M), and his 20M devoted monthly listeners on Spotify have made him the most listened to Brazilian artist in the world. In 2021, he was named the 4th Best DJ in the world, according to the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJ Poll. In 2019, Alok was nominated for the International Dance Music Awards for his hit remix of the Meduza single “Piece of Your Heart,” and he also worked with global pop sensation Dua Lipa for the official remix of her hit single “Physical.” Recently he also collaborated with Grammy-award pop sensation John Legend on “In My Mind” and with renegade vocalist John Martin on “Wherever You Go” and lended his talents to remix Ed Sheeran‘s “Shivers.” The sky is the limit for the Brazilian superstar.

The Los Angeles-based Canadian singer-songwriter Christena Ri
Her first widespread release,‘The First Time’ EP,came out on Boomsmack Records in the Fall of 2020.The trio of songs, created with collaborator, co-writer and producer Lin Gardiner, saw Christena dip her toe into the world of dance and EDM, resulting in a blend of styles that work beautifully with her voice;a set of tracks to make you both reflect on the human condition and make you move at the same time. A feature on Julia Sound’s debut album, for the song ‘Myself Like This’ followed in 2021, accompaniedby a powerful and brave lyric video. Christena next teamed up with LA’s Moonhead Industries to create a spectacular video for ‘The First Time’.Christena is now back with a new release, a gorgeous RnB pop ballad, ‘Without You’. The song, produced by Lin Gardiner and written with Gardiner and Eric Zayne brings the sound of Christena’s powerful soul and delicate falsetto.
Port Stanley’s Lucy grew up with music in her life from the very beginning, and performing has always been in her blood. Writing songs is a form of therapy for her and letting the world hear it feels like closing the chapter that inspired it. She believes music is the universal language and feels so blessed to provide a space for others to connect emotionally through her songs and storytelling.
“I wanted Upperhand to feel moody and a bit sinister. I wanted the sounds to reflect an exaggerated version of my experience,” says Morgan. “As if something evil is lurking in the shadows. Because being in an emotionally abusive relationship is like walking on eggshells everyday, constantly waiting to slip up somehow. And each time you inevitably do, you get a little bit smaller while the other person only seems to get bigger. Until it feels like you are no longer in control of your own mind.”

“We can only expect his debut album Grand Mote will showcase the stunning scope of his storytelling songwriting when it drops later this year” TROUBLE JUICE
“Christopherson has created a truly beautiful slice of Australian indie goodness“ LUCAS PACKETT – PBS FM
Kieran Christopherson releases new LP Grand Mote, gears up for release show One Night Only at Brunswick Ballroom.
Kieran Christopherson’s new LP Grand Mote will be released worldwide on Friday June 24th, 2022. The record was co-produced with Melbourne engineer and producer Guy Faletolu at the artist’s home in Central Victoria and Sunset Pig Studios in Collingwood.
Kieran Christopherson spent much of the last decade as a founding member and core performer of Melbourne band Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird. Grand Mote is the next iteration of Christopherson’s solo work, which began almost 15 years ago and saw him play with a range of beloved Australian acts including Matt Corby, Tim Rogers, Pete Murray and The Beautiful Girls.
Grand Mote combines influences from Australiana and folk rock with cutting synths and shoegaze guitars, and explores imminent fatherhood, reconciling your past, and leaving everything behind to live in the country. The record was produced during 2020 – 2021 and features performances from Matthew Hayes, Peter Corrigan, Nicholas Reid of Kitsch Kitchen, and Lachlan Rose of Cousin Tony’s Brand new Firebird. Grand Mote demonstrates Christopherson’s knack for story and self-critique, swirling amongst the unique guitar-driven sound developed during his time with ‘Cousin Tony’.
Two singles have been released from the record, ‘China’ and ‘Get That Money’, which have received radio play in Melbourne and Sydney. Sneak peeks into the full track list of Grand Mote have been made available through an accompanying podcast titled Grand Mote Radio, which quickly picked up sponsorship from Australian headphone company Nura Sound. The launch event for the record, GRAND MOTE: One Night Only will see a swag of friends and collaborators performing at the Brunswick Ballroom on July 21st, with Christopherson debuting the album live in full through a unique solo performance.
“Grand Mote is primarily about creating something out of nothing. But it also represents the harsh truth that a life is only really important to the person living it. What we experience moment to moment may be critical to us, but at the end of the day it’s one reality playing out in something far more complex.”
This record has been a life changing experience. I produced most of it alone at home in the Macedon Ranges, and used it as a chance to make sense of the last 10 years of my life while preparing to become a father. My friends and collaborators helped turn it into something far grander than I ever thought it would be.”
Grand Mote is out on Friday June 24th on all streaming and digital platforms.
