Meet Robert Irish, the Australian-born, New York-based singer-songwriter with his debut track ‘All Of You‘. Listen HERE, watch HERE.
‘All Of You‘ is a soundtrack to the open road, with pit stops at the Cass McCombs, Phosphorescent and Fleet Foxes discographies along its journey. Rolling bass, expansive synths and desert dive piano come together somewhere between Kurt Vile and a Father John Misty deep cut. The accompanying video takes inspiration from the home-movie sequence in Wim Wenders’ film Paris, Texas, and the intimate Super 8 film moments captured in the 1970’s.
Of the track, Irish shares, “All Of You is a song about leaving a life behind to devote yourself to someone you love, and that theme seemed so over the top that I felt it needed a wink in there to get it up out of the ground. Humour is so important in music. It is what let’s it be sad.”
Robert Irish is the new solo project from the guitarist of Sydney-trio Devotional, and the first of his recorded music since relocating to New York City in 2015. Taking influence from past greats such as Roy Orbison and Gram Parsons, Robert Irish delivers music that is tense and tender, with bittersweet humour and country twang. Stay tuned for more news coming soon.

Australian icon Mia Dyson is thrilled to be reissuing her ARIA Award-winning 2005 album Parking Lots on vinyl, celebrating the 15-year milestone release with an additional Parking Lots (Revisited) EP and 2021 East Coast Tour.
Heading back into the studio in 2020 to revisit five songs from the album, Mia’s Parking Lots (Revisited) EP sheds new light on a selection of her favourite cuts from the record. From beloved single ‘Roll Me Out’ to the stunning homage of motherly love on ‘Rivers Wide’, and the simple yet captivating title track to the empowering ‘Choose’ and heartbreaking ‘I Meant Something To You Once’, the EP captures the sheer musical mastery of an artist who continues to redefine the blues and roots genre, 15 years on, with the rest of her expansive career still to come.
“Some of my friends and I used to perform in a women’s prison in Western Melbourne. I got to know a few women quite well and over time they shared their stories with me. I wrote Roll Me Out thinking of the story of one woman in particular who had been incarcerated, and then fell in love with another prisoner.” – Mia Dyson
Parking Lots (Revisited) EP Track Listing
1. Roll Me Out
2. Rivers Wide
3. Parking Lots
4. Choose
5. I Meant Something To You Once
“I had my heart broken first not by a lover, but by a friend in high school. It stung a lot and a long time and eventually ended up in this song. Before, when we were about 13, my friend picked up the guitar and started writing. She inspired me to do the same and I’m eternally grateful.” – Mia Dyson
In her two-decade long career, Mia Dyson has been nominated for five ARIA Awards with Parking Lots taking out ‘Best Blues and Roots Album’ in 2005. She was the inaugural recipient of Double J’s Artist Of The Year at the 2014 J Awards following the release of her Australian classic LP Idyllwild, and has had four albums up for AIR Awards with The Moment earning her a nomination for ‘Song Of The Year’ at the 2013 APRA Awards.

“The Close/ Le Réveil was written in the last week of August in my lounge and produced across the first two weeks of September.
The urgency of it was in part a response to the stagnancy of 2020, and in part a response to it being the first time I’ve written music to directly process emotion, rather than reflect upon it after the fact. I essentially wrote my own breakup playlist.
The title alludes to the well-worn cliche of endings being beginnings. The songs are loosely structured around the various phases of grief after an ending and aim to ‘close the book’. The project as a whole, and its creation, represents the release from that and the awakening that comes after, ‘le réveil’.
The lead track from this EP, ‘First Time’ looks at the enormous and overwhelming experience of first love and first loss. ‘Swimming Upstream’ is about two people trying but failing, as the past haunts the present and distorts reality after the fantasy of newness fades. It’s a song of regret and sadness, wrapped in a sense of injustice and resentment.
The EP gets gradually lighter. ‘One More Night’ is about missing the sex, ‘Peaches’ about realising mistakes and understanding that you have to grow yourself, ‘Carry On’ is half nostalgia /half acceptance, an understanding that time passes and all you can do is wait, and finally ‘I Miss You’ is about memorialising something that, even if it wasn’t right, was beautiful and deserves a longer life than it got, which essentially is the purpose of the whole project.”

Following his recent signing to Broken Stone Records, today Sydney-based artist Wade Jackson releases his new album Sensationalized, which features his latest single ‘Nightlife’.
As Jackson details of the album “Sensationalized was written and recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown in Sydney. The theme is based around a fictional complete city breakdown, exaggerated reality. An almost apocalyptic, dystopian city with different scenarios played out by different characters in a diary/self reflection style.
This was also reflected in the music I was listening to: Joe Walsh – Barnstorm, Joni Mitchell – Hejira, Lewis Baloue – L’amour, Peter Koppes – Manchild or Myth. All these records for me have a real reclusive feel and felt comforting whilst alone during lockdown.”
Jackson began predominantly worked in music theatre and writing screen plays. Given things weren’t going so well he decided to use his musical chops to write his debut album Goodbye Rain, Hello Sunshine in 2012 which he later recorded with producer Liam Judson (Belles Will Ring, Cloud Control to Major Tom, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever Dream). Touring Australia widely, he took a break to write Whiskey Alpha Delta Echo in the fall of 2013, again co-producing with Judson. The album was picked up on a licensing deal from a Spanish label generating a European tour.
After returning from Europe, with wind in his sails and sales he started work on the follow-up, Crown & Cathedral which unfortunately was disliked immensely by his Spanish fan base citing “there’s too much synthesiser”, a mistake that Jackson did not learn from and continued to use on the follow up album, The Ghost Searches Beside Me. The LP was recorded and mixed by Jackson with his new set of skills he was forced to learn after going broke from investing all of his money into a music documentary he made with friend and well known Australian band manager and industry stalwart, Greg Carey. Waiting – The Van Duren Story was screened around the world and well received.
Now, Broken Stone Records are thrilled to release Jackson’s fifth album titled Sensationalized.
To celebrate the release, Jackson will be launching Sensationalized live on Jan 14, 2021 at Sydney’s Moshpit. Tickets will be available soon.

PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS SINGLE ‘LIVING IN COLOUR’
“A masterclass in narration, a breathtaking single from someone who wants to make a difference.”
– Clash Magazine (UK)
“Expertly pairing a laidback melody with some hard-hitting lyrics, Antoine this is your best yet. Sampling Meyne in here works so well without disrupting your flow and packs a major emotional punch, and those last bars at the end? Really powerful.” – 4.5/5 stars
– Pip Rasmussen – triple j (AUS)
“Poetic and powerful gear from Antoine!” – 4/5 stars
– Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)
Following on from his critically praised single ‘Living In Colour’, Melbourne-based R&B artist Antoine has just returned with his alluring new single ‘New Bae Sh*t’ – produced and mixed by long-time collaborator ServidSounds.
Opening with sharp hi-hats, delicate synths stabs and Antoine’s effortlessly smooth delivery, ‘New Bae Sh*t’ is an elegant slice of polished R&B. Reverberating bass subs float in and out as the deftly mixed track leaves space for each element to develop eloquently.
Antoine talks about the process behind ‘New Bae Sh*t’:
“We only whipped this up about a month ago. The fastest songs we create are always the ones we love the most, because it means it’s just an effortless and instant vibe, which is exactly what happened with ‘New Bae Sh*t’. After hearing the beat from ServidSounds, I had something written within an hour and we laid it out that week. We had to get this one out for summer.”
Previous singles have been widely embraced by Spotify, Apple Music, triple j, triple j Unearthed and Australian community radio. They’ve also seen support from online blogs Clash Magazine (UK), Pilerats, AUD’$, Cool Accidents, Acid Stag, Mixdown Magazine, The Local Frequency, The Soundcheck and AAA Backstage.
Antoine comes from a family of musicians, who all originate from Mauritius, East Africa and Italy. His Dad is a multi-instrumentalist who still plays shows to this day, and his mother was also a back-up R&B vocalist in the ’80s. Both parents have been huge influences, making it difficult for him to have passion elsewhere.
In the coming weeks, Antoine will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘New Bae Sh*t’.
‘New Bae Sh*t’ is available worldwide now

Where are you currently based?
Montreal, Canada
How did you first start playing music?
My dad was a wedding DJ growing up so he taught me how to spin at a young age.
What’s been happening recently and how has your Covid experience been so far?
Despite the lockdown and not being able to spin, the silver lining has been having a lot of studio time and new music.
Your new single ‘Control’ from your forthcoming album ‘Until We Dance’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
The track was influenced by the nightclubs I miss playing in. I wanted to release a darker and moodier track, and JT Soul nailed the mysterious and alluring vibe with his lyrics.
How did you go about writing Control?
I drove over to JT Soul’s studio for a writing session, and he essentially figured out the vocal melody right away. He then jumped in the recording booth, freestyled some flows and then came out and started putting words to it. I loved the ‘you lost all control’ part before the drop, so we worked around that after.
I was looking for a vocalist for this track for over a year, so I was in awe at how efficiently he works. He kind of entered my world of dance and electronic for this collaboration and he smashed it. He’s super talented.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
This track actually took quite some time and effort. I started the initial idea and first sketch in my home studio. I then brought it over to my buddy Kevin Figs’ studio, where he laid down the guitars and the phat bass sound. After that I searched far and wide for a vocalist until I met JT Soul. We had a couple sessions and worked on the track in his studio. I then arranged the vocals and structure at home until it was finally ready to be mixed and mastered at the label studios.
What programs/instruments did you use?
Kevin’s 1960’s limited edition Eric Clapton Fender Stratocaster for all the guitar layers. Trillian for the bass line. The drums were sampled and taken from my previous release ‘Never Be The Same’. And Refx’ nexus3 and Native Instruments’ Komplete package for the synthesizers.
How did you approach the recording/production of Control?
When I sit down in studio, I always reflect on what worked on the dancefloor in my club gigs that week. I knew I wanted to have a sexy club track I could play in my sets, so I started from there. The mysterious pads and chords in the beginning came first. Then a nice, long build up before a climatic drop that hits you hard.
Please tell us about what we can expect from your album, format, styles, sounds etc:
The album is fun, it’s feel-good and every track features an awesome vocalist from around the world. You’ll hear a lot of live instruments, performed by some super talented artists as well. You could call it dance or electronic or house… All I know is that I had a lot of fun making it and it’s meant to make you move.
Which artists and records have influenced you most over the years?
Tiësto was my idol growing up. Seeing him sell out stadiums and arenas was the coolest thing. Then when I first got into house music over a decade ago, I was influenced by French producers like David Guetta, Bob Sinclair and Daft Punk, who are still more relevant than ever. Daft Punk’s ‘One More Time’ is my favorite song of all time. I loved the Dutch and Swedish DJs at the time as well. Seeing Erick Morillo in Mykonos changed my life in 2011. Then I got into deep house in 2012 and fell in love with Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Hot Since 82 and at the same time, the Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and more. Then I was inspired by UK producers like Mark Knight, Calvin Harris, Gorgon City and more. Nowadays, I’d love to sign a record with Defected or Toolroom Records.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
At the moment I’m listening to Ludo Lacoste, Tom&Collins, Wh0, John Summit, Black Coffee.
What do you like to do away from music?
I love to travel, sail, eat, play soccer, snowboard, trade stocks, watch movies and hang out with family and friends.
Any shows coming up?
I’ve got some virtual gigs lined up but live shows will have until summer 2021 here in Canada.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
Make more music. Prepare some tracks I could play out in summer 2021 and hopefully get to throw a little album release party. Fingers crossed.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
I love Greek food obviously, but my absolute favorite food dish is tacos! I can eat tacos breakfast, lunch, dinner every single day no problem. As for my favorite place to hang out; I sometimes spin in bars and nightclubs 5 nights a week, so my favorite place to be is at home. Hanging out at my place and having tacos with my friends is my ideal off night.
Melbourne’s, Stuck Out have revealed their newest single, Inverse, taken from their upcoming second EP, Lie Through Your Teeth out on December 18 through Greyscale Records in Australia and Sharptone Records for the rest of the world.
Inverse follows the first single, Mindless which features Mikaila Delgado from Yours Truly.
Josh Walker discusses Inverse, “This song looks at self-destructive behaviour and the lies we tell ourselves to excuse harmful choices. It’s very easy to shift and project blame onto things around us when we’re facing a problem and ignore our own negative contribution to the issue. I’ve had an on-and-off problem with alcohol and this song voices the struggle between my own self-awareness and blissful ignorance.”
Lie Through Your Teeth is an EP based around the consequences when we lie to others, we lie to ourselves, and we in turn are lied to. The EP looks at a range of circumstances where the truth is withheld and how that affects everyone in the situation.
Stuck Out’s lyrics resonate like that familiar internal monologue we all shared when we discovered one simple truth: growing up is not all it’s cracked up to be. Navigating the ins and outs of complex relationships, while trying to find your place in a world that makes less sense by the day have become the cornerstone for the band’s lyrics, and they want to use every platform they can to help music lovers feel a little less alone. While some musicians play their cards quite close to their chest, Stuck Out have worn their heart on their sleeve since day one, and it has lead to them garnishing a keen and loyal fanbase.
The young four piece have made their way around Australia multiple times over the past few years off the back of their 2018 Greyscale Records debut EP You Won’t Come Home. They have supported acts such as As It Is, With Confidence, The Story So Far, and Senses Fail; enrapturing audiences with their blend of rock infused pop-punk that cuts through to a deeper layer of the human condition. The band can also now forever lay claim to playing the very first note ever played on a stage at the now staple of the Australian heavy music calendar, Good Things Festival.
2020 saw the band knuckle down to work on a follow up to their debut EP, and came out the other side with a very pointed EP titled Lie Through Your Teeth. Now the band & Greyscale Records look to the future as they add Sharptone Records to the team to help them push from one of the most exciting bands in Australia, to one of the biggest in the world.

“spill tab – aka Claire Chicha – is a multi-talented wonder” – DORK
“She is incredible” – Zane Lowe
The bilingual alt pop artist teamed up with principal collaborator marinelli on the gorgeous, enchanting piece of textured electronic pop ‘Santé‘, just as they did on acclaimed earlier singles; her break out single ‘Calvaire‘ is a dreamy pop song with R&B and electronic sensibilities and her second track is the mellow ‘Cotton Candy‘.
“This EP encompasses my entire year of 2020, it’s every spill tab song that has come out in the past 12 months, plus a new one that I co-produced with the homie marinelli, my main collaborator. I decided to name it Oatmilk ‘cause I am so goddamn lactose intolerant, so my lifeblood during quarantine has been Oatly and Chobani oat milk. I live on that shit, I‘ve probably been going through like 3 gallons a week.”
spill tab has recently featured as the cover artist on Spotify’s incredibly influential and respected alt/experimental pop playlist, LOREM, which has seen her songs streamed over 3 million times. She’s also been championed by the likes of mega tastemakers including Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders.

Melbourne Music Week (MMW) has today revealed the hotly anticipated line-up for its extended summer program.
Returning for its 11th year, MMW’s program of free and ticketed events spans three months and, for the first time, features a 100 per cent local line-up of physical and digital events.
More than 330 artists will feature at more than 35 city locations and venues, across more than 200 events and sessions, with more artists and gigs to be announced in January 2021.
Melbourne Music Week–Extended is the first music festival to return to Melbourne, pioneering COVID-safe live music gigs for Victoria.
Supporting the recovery of the local live music industry is at the core of MMW–Extended, and this year’s event is the ticket to re-discovering the best of Melbourne’s live music scene as it returns.
Wominjeka (MMW Welcome) on Opening Night (Wednesday 9 December) will feature a Welcome to Country and City Wide Smoking Ceremony curated by Kee’ahn, including a performance by Aboriginal dance group Dijirri Dijirri and live programming across four city locations, with a show at Section 8 to follow.
The Music Victoria Awards will also take place on the Opening Night at Melbourne Recital Centre (and will be live-streamed) featuring a killer local line-up including Alice Skye, Elizabeth, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Simona Castricum.
Headline shows include ascending hip hop star, Baker Boy, at the Melbourne Recital Centre, iconic rock musician Adalita for a commissioned performance on the Grand Organ at Melbourne Town Hall, plus an audio visual exploration with Melbourne producers Ara Koufax and iconic DJ and academic Simona Castricum at the Capitol Theatre.
Fierce, tense post-punk trio, Cable Ties will lead The Forum’s Melbourne Music Week debut, while High Tension, stalwarts of the Melbourne metal scene, bring their blistering power to Max Watts in other headline events.
Melbourne Music Week–Extended is teaming up with some of the city’s favourite live music venues including Colour, Cherry Bar, Curtin, Section 8, Max Watts and more, to deliver Venue Presents featuring an ongoing line-up of gigs with local artists like Blake Scott, Banoffee, Mick Harvey, Private Function and Allysha Joy across the three-month festival.

“Live music is a critical part of Melbourne’s nighttime economy and it usually generates $1.7 billion each year for Victoria and supports over 42,000 jobs,” the Lord Mayor said.
Melbourne is the Live Music Capital of the World and the sector was hit hard by COVID-19 so we’re excited to bring music back to the city with a 100 per cent local lineup.
We’re proud to be bringing live music back to your favourite bars, clubs and pubs.
“We’re working closely with venues to make sure we can welcome music fans back safely and keep musicians, promoters, and hospitality workers in jobs.”
