The Chats – the greatest post-millennial punk-rock group in the world, hands down – unleash their first new tune of 2022. A fast, furious, 100-second blitz from punk heaven, ‘Struck By Lightning’ shows the Sunny Coast trio revitalized post- pandemic and toting a ripping new guitarist, Josh Hardy.
The single is the first since The Chats’ epic touring plans (including Coachella) were totally decimated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. What promised to be a summer of career-affirming festival appearances with the biggest bands on the planet, turned into what might have been a torturous two years at home.
The Chats, though, were unperturbed by lockdowns. “It was actually great to have a bit of time, to be like, ‘All right, what’s our next move?’” says vocalist Eamon Sandwith. “Otherwise, who knows, we could’ve just had a bloody Oasis moment and self-destructed!
They’re also fatalistic about the departure of previous guitarist and addition of Josh Hardy of The Unknowns to the band. “The new bloke, Josh – he fucking rips, man! He’s been a good friend of ours for years. His band The Unknowns were the first band that were our age on the Sunny Coast – before we’d even formed The Chats. In the early days, they were a full-on rockabilly band, and he had the quiff. He’d comb his hair back and stuff, and we just thought he was the fucking coolest guy ever.”
The Chats have just this week been announced as support for Foo Fighters on their December Perth, Brisbane and Sydney shows. Until then, the trio are scheduled to resume their UK dates (from 2020), hit 30+ North American cities including Aftershock Festival and headline their own European jaunt.
Looks like the ol’ two stroke from Sunny Coast has officially roared back to life. Buckle up.
Known for his coastal folk sonic goodness, touring prestige and a laid back approach to life in his van, the name Jack Botts is rapidly cementing itself on the Australian conscious. Returning with his first taste of new music for 2022 with the adventurous and stick-in-your-head offering ‘Mine, Mine, Mine‘ today, Jack continues his quietly confident pursuit of the music world.
Unravelling his long-distance relationship throughout Covid, ‘Mine, Mine, Mine’ is lyrically cheeky and leans on a bluesy, groovy rhythm throughout. On the single, Jack shares:
“I’ve always wanted to write a track like ‘Mine, Mine, Mine’. It’s a little different to the genres and style of music I’d usually write, but it was a super fun one to bring to life. More of a ‘cheeky’ kind of approach to a story in terms of the writing, but musically, it was super cool to bring in a bit of a bluesy aspect and groove to front. It’s been really fun to try out and play live whilst on tour, and I’m super excited for it to be released!”

SUPPORT FOR ‘BACKSEAT HEARTBEAT’
“A smooth funky slice of sunshine that canters along at a high-stepping trot, tempered with an enthralling air of melancholy in the vocals.”
Backseat Mafia (UK)
Yamba-based artist Late Night Therapy has just revealed their enthralling debut single ‘Backseat Heartbeat’ – self-recorded/produced by the artist himself and co-mixed with Luke Million.
Beginning with adroit electronics and warm synthesisers, ‘Backseat Heartbeat’ is four minutes of heterogenous production, layered with motifs that float effortlessly through carefully crafted soundscapes. Strident guitars compliment the polyphonic sonority, while the graceful vocals guide the resonant melody above the mix, judiciously navigating the song’s memorable structure.
Late Night Therapy talks about the meaning behind ‘Backseat Heartbeat’:
“This release and the many tracks to follow come after a long journey of self-doubt that has left me with a huge backlog of music waiting for a chance to see the light of day. A problem with my hearing forced me to take an extended break from music. It took this break for me to gain the perspective needed to once again believe in my art.”
Late Night Therapy is the new musical project from Harry Suttor. Taking cues from influences such as Tame Impala, Daft Punk and RÜFÜS DU SOL, his combination of live instrumentation and the unbounded potentials of electronic production to create an organic, evolving sound that reflects the fundamentals of his song subjects. “The process of creating music late at night when there are no distractions, it’s quiet, dark and I can completely immerse myself in it has always been therapy for my state of mind. This is where the name ‘Late Night Therapy’ came from. Music is my outlet, it keeps me in the moment and leaves me fulfilled.”
In the coming weeks, Late Night Therapy will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Backseat Heartbeat’.
‘Backseat Heartbeat’ is available worldwide now

CARNAGE is out now – listen here
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis today announce two shows at the iconic Hanging Rock in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, performing on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 November. These limited capacity seated shows are presented by Always Live, Frontier Touring and Supersonic, and will be the first dates on their upcoming Australian Carnage Tour.
The VIC show news comes off the back of Cave & Ellis’ acclaimed 2021 album CARNAGE, as well as a run of phenomenal performances across the UK and Europe, and a current North American tour. Tickets are on sale Thursday 17 March (12pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/
Cave has already announced, via The Red Hand Files, that the full Australian Carnage Tour will run from mid-November to mid-December. Details on those shows will be announced soon. (**Media: please see contact below for any full tour enquiries.)
Also just announced, Andrew Dominik’s film This Much I Know To Be True featuring Nick Cave & Warren Ellis will be in cinemas worldwide on Wednesday 11 May, following its critically acclaimed world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
While Cave & Ellis have composed and recorded many soundtracks together, and Ellis is a long-term member of The Bad Seeds, CARNAGE is the first album of songs the pair have released.
Cave & Ellis’ creative chemistry is rooted in their long history of music making, both as collaborators and as individual artists. They first crossed paths in 1993, when Ellis played violin on several songs for the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, Let Love In, before going on to join the band as a full-time member. The two have also recorded as Grinderman, formed in 2006, and have composed and recorded numerous, film, TV and theatre soundtracks together.
Joining Nick and Warren at both shows is Courtney Barnett. In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she is an emblem of millennial wit and one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. Barnett is also a powerhouse live act, playing slots at festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governor’s Ball, Primavera, and Lollapalooza. In 2021, she released album Things Take Time, Take Time.
The shows are part of the ALWAYS LIVE program, a new state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria. Ticketholders can also access further information regarding Hanging Rock travel, accommodation and other FAQ’s at www.hangingrockconcerts.com.
‘…an unexpected and powerful collection of songs from Cave and his long-term musical partner Warren Ellis…’ – The Age
‘Working together in a shared state of intuition, the two have never sounded quite so unfettered by expectation – either theirs or ours.’ – The Australian

Speaking on the release, Gold Fang says “Make It Snow is heavy in the Vybz Kartel and Popcaan region. For me that’s where most of my influence comes from – back home. We true to ourselves and true to our culture. We want people to dance and enjoy the flavours we bring to the table.” Danté Knows elaborates on the recording process, saying “Fang cooked up the track with Tom & Peter a night before showing it to me. Besides my verse, most of the song was already there before I even looked at it. My involvement consisted of suggesting breaks where I heard them & throwing down my verse. To me, ‘Make It Snow’ is our tribute to the darker sides of dancehall. The sonics bring me to a memory of loading a CD into my player and running an old [Vybz] Kartel or Mavado mixtape as a younger self.”
With the track comes an energetic music video, directed by The Sesh, who says of the visual “Fang, Danté and the whole team, all did an incredible job on this project. The shot of Fang performing out the car window was inspired by a scene in Christopher Nolan’s, ‘The Dark Knight’. ’Make it Snow’ has a sonic energy that is rare and ahead of its time.” Standing tall amongst dancehall and reggae counterparts including Vybz Kartel, WizKid and Popcaan, Gold Fang wraps up a masterful balance of cultural authenticity amongst a playful exterior. ‘Make It Snow’ rings true to his Trinidadian roots, combining speedy oscillating synths and melodic rap verses to captivate a unique and transcendent Caribbean flow.
‘Make It Snow’ follows Gold Fang’s recent debut two-track release ‘Light It’ and his collaboration with rapper Big Skeez on their anthemtic single ‘Where Yuh From’, which earned significant praise from outlets including Acclaim for their “melting pot of style”, hailed as “energy raising” by Purple Sneakers and “exhilarating, invigorating and relentless” by MTV amongst radio support from triple j, triple j Unearthed and FBi Radio.

‘As the lights dimmed and the crowd roared, the Foo Fighters appeared before us, feeling like a sight for sore eyes in the wake of empty stages and cancelled tours. Frontman Dave Grohl walked around the stage, simply staring back at the crowd as we all wordlessly exchanged the sentiment that it had been far too long for such an event’ – Rolling Stone AU
Following incredible demand during pre-sale, a second and final Foo Fighters concert at AAMI Park has been added for Tuesday 6 December 2022.

Just last Friday, Foo Fighters performed to an adoring crowd of 30,000 in Geelong, VIC as part of ALWAYS LIVE, with reviews unanimously declaring the show a triumph.
‘…it’s hard not to feel like we’ve just witnessed an historical event. Mother Nature may have brought the rain but the Foos came in even harder with their thunder.’ – NME
‘…a drought of stadium gigs was broken in the most emphatic fashion by Grohl and his band Foo Fighters, who turned in a superlative performance that will set the bar high for all other international acts to follow.’ – The Australian
Special guests for the December 6 show will be The Chats and Teenage Joans.

Where are you currently based?
I am in Pitt Meadows! It’s a little farming community about an hour outside Vancouver.
How did you first start playing music?
I grew up loving to sing and perform in church choirs or piano recitals. I remember auditioning for a kids TV show once when I was 14 and being like “yeah, this is great. I think I could be good at this.” I just started writing, singing and playing shows in high school for fun and never really stopped. You get better with time. New opportunities are always coming up. I love telling my stories and connecting with people on such a personal level.
What’s been happening recently?
Recently, it’s been pretty busy and pretty awesome. I just released my new single “Take Me Back” and then the music video to follow. The music video was probably my favourite thing that I have gotten to do to date. Such a great crew and they really helped bring my vision to life. It’s just such a fun and happy video and projects what I’m all about.
Your latest single ‘Take Me Back’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
It was when I was scrolling through Instagram one day and I was seeing all these posts captioned “Take Me Back.” The photo would be of them at the beach years back, or before they had kids or back when they were skinny (joke). That became the inspiration when writing the song.
How did this single come about?
I had played it lots at shows and online and it just became something that everyone would comment on as one of their favourite songs that I played. Since I loved it too it seemed obvious that I should record it and release it as the next single!
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who with?
I went to Calgary to record this one with Spencer Cheyne and Justin Kudding. I remember my first night there I was settling into my hotel in the city and I felt so homesick. The next day I was scheduled to start recording. On my drive to the studio I thought my GPS was broken because it was taking me down all these deserted gravel roads. I usually just show up wherever the producer tells me to go so I didn’t actually know what OCL Studios was going to look like. It ended up being in the middle of farm land and it felt so much like home. The rest of the week was amazing and the producers really brought the song to life.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Right now…. I’m still listening to Evermore and Folklore by Taylor Swift!!! I know they’re technically kinda old, but these days I’m at home a lot more. It’s such a nice album to listen to while I bake in the kitchen or do other mundane tasks around the house.
What do you like to do away from music?
I’m usually down for just about anything. I love home reno projects, dinner with my husband, walks with the dogs, bingeing trashy TV with my best friend. Game nights are my favourite – tbh we played Settlers of Catan at my stagette (wild night).
What’s planned for 2022?
2022 is already flying by! My first EP is going to be released this spring which will be so cool to have a physical copy of something that I’ve created to share! I’ll also get to play a few shows around the nation and hopefully just have an all around rockin’ year!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
I LOVE almost all food. Steak, fries, veggies & dip… But I think my favourite would have to be a McDonalds double cheeseburger with extra pickles or those crappy Little Debbie’s Swiss Rolls. I’m a big homebody so I love being at my house. I also love summers at the family farm playing with my dogs in the field.

It’s been four years since Something For Kate have done a national headline tour, so tonight’s Echolalia x The Modern Medieval is not before time.
The first of four sold out shows at Melbourne’s iconic Forum Theatre, sees the band embark on a national headline tour of theatres across the country. Albeit this tour was scheduled for last year sometime, it has fallen victim to the perpetual (it seems) rescheduling that so many artists have been inflicted with. The past behind, it’s a new start to gigs and tonight’s show is no exception.
With no support act to warm the crowd , Something For Kate promptly graced the large Forum stage to embark on the first of two sets. The first set being the Echolalia album played in full. I don’t recall SFK having done this before (I could be wrong), so this was a treat. Playing all tracks from start to finish on the albums 20th (or now 21st) anniversary, and while being the fashion at present to perform anniversaries, this one was exceptional.
The second set consisted of predominantly new tunes from 2020’s The Modern Medieval along with a smattering of tracks from Desert Lights, Leave Your Soul To Science and The Official Fiction. Tracks from the new album sounded fresh, but with that SFK formula that works so well, including – All The Great Minds, Supercomputer and Situation Room, however Blue Bird was a notable omission.
As always SFK included a cover, this time Bowie’s Heroes and culminating with the punter favourite, Captain (Million Miles an Hour) lifted from Elsewhere For 8 Minutes.
So good to see a band with this level of longevity still producing great music, performed in a great room to multiple sell out crowds – long may you run.

– Pilerats“Imagine DMAs with their soaring indie rock but now imagine that sound all mussed up with anger and more grit. That’s what I’m hearing from Divers on this new one.”
– Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed
“…Divers splash around, careering in different directions, keeping you on your toes with this exciting new one. I’m addicted!”
– Declan Byrne, triple j Home & Hosed
“There’s some bands you just get a good feeling from. Divers are home grown, easy-going but highly motivated young guys with an ear for catchy melodies, homespun lyrics and a passion for the sound they’re creating.”
– How Good Melbourne
Rising Melbourne indie-rock, psych and experimental-infused outfit Divers have released their new EP The Sensory Edition in full today.
Out via their new label home Domestic La La, the EP is lead by recent single in ‘Feed Me’, which first premiered via triple j Unearthed and has since garnered high praise from triple j staff and music media (including the likes of Pilerats and Hysteria) and become the band’s top performing track.
To celebrate the EP, Divers will play a hometown launch show at The Gaso next Saturday March 12, supported by The Paddy Cakes + Lily Rose (tickets here) and have also unleashed a music video for ‘Feed Me’ today.
“The video concept for ‘Feed Me’ ties in with the lyrical themes of the song, specifically on how technology can occasionally send you into a spiral of madness,” says the band.
“We spent a very hungover Sunday with Schoondie (Ben Schoonderbeek, collaborator) busting this one out, with added time constraints as Ben and Scotty declared they were going straight edge and were heading off to a 6-week yoga retreat in India the following day.”
