![Back with a tune set to warm up any cold winter evening, Sydney’s Yawdoesitall shares ‘ARMADILLO’. Rich in R&B production and featuring the rising Maina Doe on guest vocals, Yawdoesitall well..he’s done it again. His second release for 2020, ‘ARMADILLO’ continues to lay down some strong foundations for Yawdoesitall as he emerges into one of Sydney’s exciting young names in the game. Following on from his single ‘Get It’ featuring fellow Sydney artist and songwriter Sumatra, ‘ARMADILLO’ is a bright companion piece and a reflection of Yawdoesitall’s impressive writing chops. “You wanna be up in your bed with the one that’s all up in your head,” Maina sings almost hypnotically. It’s this velvety smooth vibe that runs throughout ‘ARMADILLO’ that captures the listener’s attention from the jump. Written during his first session with Sumatra, Yawdoesitall’s collaboration with Maina here has been a personal highlight. “Collaborating with Maina Doe wasn’t face to face, but magic was made. She’s definitely one of the most talented singers out these ways and [I] can’t wait to make more magic with her.” Yawdoesitall As he describes it, ‘ARMADILLO’ is an exchange between two lovers - ‘a cliche love song’ - but it’s in the back and forth between the two voices on the track that really clinch the believability of the narrative. It’s got that late-night energy that could put it in the same lane as your Masegos or Stormzys, while still maintaining that sensual edge that could lead it into Jeremih territory. ‘ARMADILLO’ feels like the beginning of a story that could go in a number of directions. And leaving that ambiguity up in the air makes this all the more enticing to listen to. Having made his debut in late 2018 , Yawdoesitall has wasted no time in building up a solid reputation behind him. Not only a talented artist in the music field, he’s also thrown himself into exploring other creative endeavours including photography and videography. A true polymath, Yawdoesitall is ever evolving - the best way to be. PRAISE FOR YAWDOESITALL “Keep an eye out for new music from the young man who seems to be defining and refining his sound with each release.” Life Without Andy “Confident flow that just doesn’t quit…” Triple J Unearthed, Tommy Faith “His sound is infectious, smooth and funky as ever...with a hearty bassline that continues throughout the song, Yaw’s impeccable flow floats about the instrumentation effortlessly.” Happy Mag (‘Free Zone’, 2019) ARMADILLO is out now!

Where are you currently based?
I’m living in Melbourne! Not a lot happening here at the moment obviously, but just doing little things to make the day special like some yoga, dancing around in my room, playing with my dog and watching Disney movies.
How did you first start playing music?
My dad is a singer and guitarist so most nights during my childhood we would play stuff from The Rolling Stones to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Alicia Keys.
How has your Covid/Lockdown experience been so far and has it affected your mental health?
The lockdown experience has been really challenging for so many people and has affected me greatly. I’m obviously out of work, with no gigs or anything. I was actually admitted into a psychiatric clinic to help, as I just wasn’t coping with this lockdown. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better and can see a little clearer.
You have a new single ‘The Lucky Ones’ on the way, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I wrote this song just after a trip to New York with my boyfriend. I surprised him in Times Square and he had no idea that I was coming. When I got back to Melbourne I was reminiscing on all the good times we had and thought about how it would feel to have all that taken away from me. I do feel lucky to be with him and it would break my heart if we ever weren’t together. It was slightly painful exploring this but I’m super happy with how it turned out.
How did you go about writing ‘The Lucky Ones’?
I wrote it with Ed Quinn from Slum Sociable; I think it was the second song that we wrote together. Ed took care of the beats and the strings and I jumped on to the lyrics and melody. It came together really well. Most of what you hear in the finished single was in the demo, so we’re super stoked with that!
Where and when did you record/produce and who with?
Ed finessed the track at his home studio during lockdown so we kind of went back and forth on the phone talking about it.
What do you like to do away from music?
I love going on long walks, I love coffee. When we’re not in lockdown I mostly enjoy hanging out with my closest friends at a park or on the beach. I also really like to dance around my room to the soundtrack of Burlesque.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
King Princess, Taylor Swift, Jorja Smith.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
I think the main focus is finishing off this EP that I have coming out in early 2021. There’s still a few songs that need some final tinkering with. I’m just so excited to get it out finally. I also hope that we come out of lockdown, this one has been super tough.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
My favourite food is definitely Thai green chicken curry and my favourite place to hangout would be on my back deck in the winter with a tea and some friends!

What is your name and role within dave the band?
Noah is my name and singing and playing guitar is my role within dave the band.
Where are you currently based?
Newcastle, Australia
How did the band form?
We formed in high school when Gabe and I were in year 7. Max joined us after school and we’ve been happily dave ever since.
What’s been happening recently and how has your COVID experience been?
We’ve been gearing up for our album release. Lots of online stuff thanks to COVID. Our experience in Newcastle hasn’t been too bad. I’ve been surfing a lot and writing lots of songs.
Your debut album will be out August 28, 2020 – what influenced the sound and songwriting?
The sound is influenced by the energy and feeling we’ve cultivated over the years jamming and playing together as much as we can. The songwriting was influenced by nightclubs, coffee, footy, hot summers, cold winters and being an all-round Sadsack.
How did you go about writing the music?
With a guitar. It was easy.
Where and when did you record/produce/master?
We recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini. He’s a sound engineer, not a producer. We aren’t interested in anyone else telling us how to play our songs. Steve was just there to capture what we were playing. It was mastered by Steve’s Shellac bandmate Bob Weston.
What programs/instruments did you use?
Guitar, bass and drums. What’s a program? I also played Steve’s Wurlitzer on Brave and Sadsack.
Please tell us about how you came to work with Steve Albini and the experience you had:
We emailed his studio and booked it. It was as easy as writing the music.
The experience was awesome. I had mentally prepared for there to be some hitches and not have everything turn out as I would have liked, but the whole experience at Steve’s studio was like a dream.
Your new single ‘Where Are You’ is out now, what influenced this track and what does it mean to you?
I’m still working out what this song means to me. I can’t really remember writing it but it was one of the first we started working on for Slob Stories. Steve wouldn’t let me double the vocals on this song for some reason.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Household Item One, Lovedavid, De La Soul, Vex Ruffin, Andy Shauf, Purple Mountains, Frances Quinlan, Wes Montgomery, Jason Molina, Bill Frisell, Yo La Tengo
What do you like to do away from music?
I don’t like to be away from music but I like surfing.
How’s the time been supporting and playing with bands from Newcastle?
It’s been awesome. We’ve got a special scene here with lots of great artists. It’s a big city vibe without the wank.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
Recording another album!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Coffee and bagels at Frothers Espresso. Beers and pizza at The Ori.

NEW ALBUM SUNDRY ROCK SONG STOCK
OUT SEPTEMBER 25
“An enthralling and surprising listen … coming from the same Afro-futuristic camp as Thundercat and Kendrick Lamar.” – Under the Radar
“Audet’s work is haunting yet inviting, blending careful folk-noir with tender R&B flourishes, pillowy vocal beds, and a punkish ambivalence.” – XLR8R on “For Props“
LINKS: FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / TWITTER / WEBSITE / MORE INFO
Montreal’s Yves Jarvis is set to unveil his third studio album, Sundry Rock Song Stock, on September 25 (digitally) and November 13 (vinyl) via Flemish Eye. Following the release of “Victim” and “For Props,” Jarvis returns today with another new single from the record. Watch the official “Semula” music video on YouTube now.

“As females, realistically we have all been subject to comments and actions that have belittled, stigmatised and diminished our sense of womanhood and integrity. In my case, this has seen me: being asked to “smile more” and wear more “feminine clothes” and asked “why don’t you wear makeup?” and most recently being told by a male photographer that said, “I usually take photos of hot skinny girls, so this is out of my comfort zone.” – Emma Volard
Melbourne artist Emma Volard is gearing up to lay down another epic slap of social-soul on her latest rhythmic groove, ‘Femininity’. With her music deeply rooted in seeking justice and storytelling with strong political, environmental and personal undertones, Emma Volard is one-upping herself on her most vulnerable, honest and empowering single to date. Out today, ‘Femininity’ explores gender equality and empowerment in the music industry and beyond, whilst offering women both a shoulder to lean on and a killer soundtrack to revolt to.
In a time where women are banding together to seek the strength and courage to speak out about their lived experiences of stigmatisation, harassment, hyper-sexualisation and degradation, Emma felt compelled to provide a voice for those who may be struggling to find their own. ‘Femininity’ is this voice – a hard-hitting joint that expresses the omnipotent force of the female gender. In this track, Emma has put together an all star line-up with an overwhelming percentage of female identifying artists including Allysha Joy on backing vocals, Elle Shimada on violin and Bumpy in the backing choir. This group of musical collaborators also includes drummer Jordan Pereira (Nasty Mars), percussionist Lucky Pereira (Close Counters) and Jake Amy (The Mamas). The track’s mixing finesse was executed by computer music innovator Moses Carr and mastered by the world-renowned engineer Nick Herrera, the producer of the Grammy Award Nominated Hiatus Kaiyote Album Choose Your Weapon.

Summer is an exciting season for artists and audiences alike, with an increased demand for new music to fuel outdoor activities, summer flirtation and the general highlife that comes with it. Tiahi’s new single “Get Loving On” does exactly that and after the success of his previous release “Free” we reached out to the Berlin-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to chat about the story behind “Get Loving On”.
Tiahi, Get Loving On is definitely a love song with a creative storyline but at the same time also a true summer song – what was the inspiration behind it, where did you write it and is it based on a true story?
Yes and no (laughs), it went like this: I was in Vienna for a workshop and one night we went out to party. We were all buzzing from the day and then there was this beautiful girl that I just had to get to know. We really hit it off and I guess it was a bit of love at first sight, if that still exists.
And then you got your loving on?
No, actually we didn’t (laughs again). As if the distance Berlin-Vienna wasn’t enough, I was flying to Costa Rica for 3 months the following week and I found myself on the beach, thinking about all the things I’d want to do with her if we were closer and that’s how I wrote the song basically.
Wow, that’s an amazing story. But with a bit of a bittersweet ending I guess.. Sounds like you didn’t get to do the things you are singing about after all, so how does performing the song now make you feel?
Oh I feel great about it, I’m thankful for the feeling she gave me, the inspiration and the buzz. Takes me right back to Costa Rica and reminds me that there is more love waiting out there..
No doubt about that. One last question that I just have to ask: how do you come up with a line like “Water so clear you see right through / Jump off a plane in Tuvalu”? Have you been?
That’s a good question (laughs). I was traveling in the South Pacific, 10h ferry ride in Tonga where I met this guy from France who’d been in the area for ages and he told me a lot of stories and one of them was about him jumping off a plane in Tuvalu, skydiving. I never forgot about it and when I was writing the song it popped up in my head and I was like ‘yep, that’s it’.
Fantastic, Tiahi, thank you for your time and all the best for your upcoming releases..
Likewise, thank you for having me!

SUPPORT FOR SUNDRESSED
“This one gets stuck in your head after just one or two listens.”
– Brooklyn Vegan (USA)
Tracks added to Spotify playlists ‘New Punk Tracks’, ‘Punk Unleashed’, ‘Pop Punk’s Not Dead’ and ‘Punk Rock Workout’
Tracks added to Apple Music playlists ‘Rise and Grind’ and ‘Breaking Rock’
Arizona’s favourite indie punks Sundressed have released another new single ‘Size Of My Heart‘ from their highly anticipated album ‘Home Remedy‘. ‘Home Remedy’ is set to be released on September 18th via the band’s new home Rude Records and features previous singles ‘Home Remedy‘, ‘Oh Please‘, and ‘Your Frequency‘.
“This song is about spreading yourself too thin,” shares vocalist Trevor Hedges. “I’ve always had a habit of not being able to say no to people and this song is about my journey through that.”
Living on such a chaotic planet, tossing and turning is inevitable. It’s hard to sleep in the midst of uncertainty. That’s why Sundressed was born. Lead vocalist and songwriter Trevor Hedges began his project in 2012, with the initial purpose of maintaining his sobriety. Now, eight years later, Hedges has refocused the project’s mission, writing songs that tackle mental health issues for others to take solace in. His confessional lyrics and punk-infused melodies inspire hope in listeners to continue moving forward.
With the addition of AJ Peacox (guitar), Vic Chan (drums), Matthew Graham, and Justin Portillo, Sundressed has never sounded better. With ‘Home Remedy, produced by Mike Pepe, the band is determined to make a positive impact, one lyric at a time.
‘Size Of My Heart’ is available worldwide now through Rude Records
FOLLOW SUNDRESSED
“Riding a current of heavy rhythm, the track races through a haze of melodic guitar noise” STEREOGUM
“90s fans, Narrow Head are here so you no longer need to pretend that any of the Helmet, Quicksand or Smashing Pumpkins reunion material is actually good.” DECIBEL
“Acclaimed for their shimmery pop melodies and feedback-soaked shoegazery, the quintet evoke the bittersweet alt-rock of Smashing Pumpkins, Nothing and their ilk.” REVOLVER
“…their combination of nu-metal and ’90s grunge makes for pleasurable sonic immersion” PASTE
“Duarte’s drawl evokes Liam Gallagher’s nonchalant delivery, making the track an exciting trip in nostalgia” UPROXX
“a catchy dose of ’90s shoegaze and grunge worship” BROOKLYN VEGAN
“As the album title suggests, truly is a world of its own – and its emotional weight and power will transport you, whether you like it or not, into the darkest parts of Jacobs mind, as well as your own.” KERRANG!
“For an album whose influences are so explicit, 12th House Rock still manages to feel vibrant, breathing life into an established sound.” METAL HAMMER
Narrow Head’s wall of riffs add stark contrast to their best quality– deceptively sweet pop melodies. Rising from the Texas underground/DIY scene, Narrow Head quickly amassed a devoted following for their standout live performances and open-hearted, emotionally naked songwriting. Their sophomore effort 12th House Rock is the distillation of the greatest moments in 90’s alternative and hard rock with a fresh set of ears, thirteen tracks of Narrow Head’s signature brand of bludgeoning lullabies bursting at the seams with creative ideas, new directions and huge, monolithic riffs. Think Deftones with a sprinkle of Guided By Voices and Quicksand.
Delving into deep-seated themes of self loathing, desolation, self-medication, the loss of loved ones and hopeful redemption,12th House Rock is, as the title suggests, a rock-focused LP themed on transition– exploring the vast abyss of darkness just before the sun cracks upon the horizon.
12th House Rock is out now on Run For Cover records.
Delving into deep-seated themes of self loathing, desolation, self-medication, the loss of loved ones and hopeful redemption, 12th House Rock is, as the title suggests, a rock-focused LP themed on transition– exploring the vast abyss of darkness just before the sun cracks upon the horizon. “A lot of the record was made in the late hours and early morning,” recalls Duarte . ”Those quiet moments alone when utter silence and my self-medication made it impossible to escape from my own thoughts. It was also from a specific time when I didn’t take care of myself and made bad decisions in all aspects of my life. These songs were a way out, temporarily anyway.”
Narrow Head formed in 2013 but became fully realised as a band in Houston with the release of their 2016 debut LP Satisfaction and the lineup of Duarte , guitarist William Menjivar and drummer Carson Wilcox . Playing in the Texas scene instilled a can-do attitude, an ability to explore several different ideas along with a strong set of DIY ethics, qualities that still form the basis of the band to this day. “Book your own shows, book your own tours,” details Duarte about the foundation of his musical viewpoint. ”I think that having other musical projects provided a scene for us to play too. Nobody else was looking at us, so we had to make our own scene.”
12th House Rock was self-produced and born of close to a hundred takes with no click track, vocal correction, drum samples or quantising, resulting in thirteen testaments to pulverising pop, clocking in just above 50 minutes. Initially only Duarte, Menjivar and Wilcox in 2018, the trio of old friends entered the studio with a batch of songs intending to write bass parts on the fly. “I’ve known Jacob and Carson since childhood and they are the most talented musicians– total prodigies,” states Menjivar. The three looked to build an LP that reflected current tastes as well as “music [they] looked up to as kids,” according to Menjivar, adding their own twist on the entirety of it.
Though the primary trio was present throughout the entire cycle, fate intervened on bass as the undeniable chemistry between the band and then strictly producer Ryan Chavez led to his inclusion in Narrow Head . The newly minted four piece would handle the bulk of the remainder of the LP, bringing in Erica Miller (Big Bite, Casual Hex) , vocalist/lyricist on “Delano Door,” and mastering guru Sarah Register (Big Thief, U.S. Girls, Protomartyr) to put the final touches on the record. Guitarist Kora Puckett (Bugg, ex-Sheer Mag) , who previously logged hours as a live member in the tours preceding the LP, would join Narrow Head as a full-fledged member following the album’s completion.
Despite whatever comparisons that can be made to guitar tone, mood, songwriting, timbre or virtually anything else, Narrow Head are quick to credit their native Houston, TX as the primary source for it all. “Houston is the greatest city on earth,” says Duarte emphatically. “People who know, know. In Houston, you have to give people a reason to pay attention to you.” With 12th House Rock , not only will Narrow Head have Houston’s attention, but the entire rock world as well, giving us one of 2020’s most impressive releases.

What is your name and role within the band?
My name is Geoff Rana and I’m the singer, songwriter, guitarist and keys player in Crystal Cities. Plus, I’ve recently added producer and engineer to my resume’.
How did Crystal Cities form?
It was formed by 3 scientists, Geoff, Dan and Jared, who, after years of experimenting, finally tweaked the fibonacci sequence to complete the first ever rock n roll time machine. We then transported ourselves a 1000 years into the future and have since returned to try and save the future of Rock music.
What’s been happening recently and how has your COVID experience been?
Covid hasn’t been too kind to musicians… But it has allowed us to finish the album a bit quicker than what we normally would have.
Please tell us about your upcoming album:
It’s called Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight and it’s way more loud and guitar-driven than our previous stuff. There’s lots of energy in these new songs which I think people are going to really dig.
Your new single ‘Don’t Speak Too Soon’ is out now, where and when did you record/produce?
We recorded this in Studio A, aka My bedroom which was fitted with all the latest gear and equipment to create the unique sounds we were after. Such gear included:

– Cupboard
– Fold out bed
– Guitar
– Microphone, and
– An audio interface
If you listen carefully you will be able to hear cars, planes, kids screaming, and vacuum cleaners in the background of the track.
What influenced the sound and songwriting?
I always try to write songs that are going to sound good live. So, that was one aspect…
How did you go about writing Don’t Speak Too Soon?
Well, it’s a classic story that seems to repeat for me… I picked up the guitar, strummed it and then thought “no that’s rubbish”, waited another hour, tried again, and boom it worked! Don’t Speak To Soon was born.
Who did you work with during the creation of the album?
Myself and the other two scientists, Dr Jared King and Professor Daniel Conte ,both outstanding in their field. But it was myself that I worked on the most since I had a lot of issues that needed resolving…
How did you approach the recording process?
From behind. Scared the living shit out of it I did.
What did you find most challenging and rewarding?
Wearing clothes and not wearing clothes.
What do you like to do away from music?
Listen to music.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
My wife.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020?
Releasing more tunes and (hopefully) playing some shows…
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Bananas. In trees.

![PRAISE FOR NAVY GANGS 'Poach' – Packet Album – FBi Radio "A blearing, wire-cutter lead, accompanied by moaning fuzz and Tillwick’s exhausted wail sets the scene for an unnerving slab of '90s-inspired garage-rock" – Stereogum "You can tell Navy Gangs have their origins in Omaha, Nebraska by the sun-struck Great Plains ease at the core of their scruffy sound." – The Fader "[Navy Gangs] incarnate a fresh and current take on rock music." - Les Inrocks New York-via-Nebraska's Navy Gangs return with new track, 'Sometimes', an introspective song about maintaining relationships in a constantly changing world. Out now via Dinosaur City Records, it's the follow-up to recent track, 'Locked En', which featured on Australian Covid compilation 'Stay Inside: Songs from the Great Indoors' in April. Listen to 'Sometimes' now on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music. Written and recorded by band leader Matt Tillwick during isolation in Manhattan, New York, 'Sometimes' features intricate guitars and vocals The Fader say "ooze right into your soul". Tillwick says of the new track, "While I am trying to be healthy, safe and sane while maintaining income, friendships and relationships, I'm feeling pretty stressed and drained by it all. 'Sometimes' is a reflection of these feelings." Navy Gangs' debut album 'Poach', released in 2018 via Dinosaur City Records, saw the band take on a 30-date tour of the USA with Father/Daughter's Anna McLellan, performing a string of shows at SXSW which prompted New York's Breakthru Radio to say they "play their songs like they've been hits for decades". While 'Poach' and 2016's self-titled EP 'Navy Gangs' were packed with mega-hook guitars, fuzz organs and driving rhythm, 'Somewhere' works with a stripped-down palette bare of percussion or drums, balancing Tillwick's emotive vocals with swirling guitars. Navy Gangs have released 1 x self-titled EP and a highly acclaimed debut album 'Poach', playing alongside the likes of Alex G, The Garden and Dehd, and turning heads at Stereogum, The Fader, Pilerats, Northern Transmissions, Les Inrocks and LNWY among others, garnering a loyal following of critics and fans alike in the USA, Europe, Australia and beyond.
