Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn stepped out of 2019 with a UK Top Ten album under their belt, Eton Alive, their biggest sold out tour to date and the swagger of a band that have never been more relevant, topically challenging and downright entertaining.
Sleaford Mods are set to continue their onslaught into 2020 with the release of All That Glue, a collection of songs spanning the last seven years of the bands career; an array of crowd pleasers, B sides, unheard tracks and rarities for fans and the curious, released via Rough Trade / Remote Control Records.
Over the past few years Sleaford Mods have become one of the most intractable British pop stories. One of its best. Their music is drawn at a flawless fault-line of anger, tenderness and humour, a triumvirate of raw energy which frequently jostles in the space of a cadence for supremacy. On record you can hear their sinews, live you can touch their veins.
Ahead of All That Glue’s release the band will be making available fan favourite Jobseeker for the first time. In addition, footage from the duo’s acclaimed sell out show last year at the Eventim Apollo, will be released for the first time and kicks off with an incendiary performance of ‘Tweet Tweet Tweet’, which will be available to watch on the band’s YouTube channel. WATCH HERE.
To mark the release of All That Glue, Sleaford Mods have consented to a no-holds-barred inquisition from their fans, friends and enemies. To put a question to Jason and Andrew, would-be interviewers can tweet their questions using the hashtag #AskModsAnything, or respond in the comments section of Sleaford Mods ‘Ask Mods Anything’ posts on Facebook and Instagram. Questions will be collated and put to Sleaford Mods in a special filmed Q&A.
Kicking off tomorrow, Sleaford Mods will embark on their first ever Australian tour, a playing a 10-date run of headline dates and festivals including Farmer & The Owl, Golden Plains, WOMADadelaide & A Festival Called Panama. The band will also be hosting in-store signings at Sydney’s Red Eye Records at Wednesday 4 March and at Melbourne’s Rocksteady Records on Wednesday 11 March. Full dates below.

Paul Kelly and Missy Higgins, two of Australia’s most cherished and iconic artists have teamed up for a special one off show at the Sandstone Point Hotel on Bribie Island in Queensland this July.
Joining them will be Alex The Astronaut and Andy Golledge.
All four artists are expert storytellers, from heart-on-the-sleeve songs about love and loss to thought provoking tomes about our nations storied history, you are in for one magical night of classics, soon to be classics and maybe the odd collaboration!
Saturday, July 11
Sandstone Point Hotel, Bribie Island QLD

******
One the country’s greatest and most enduring songwriters, Paul Kelly’s music and lyrics are in the nation’s DNA. No one can capture the essence of Australia the way he can; how it looks, feels, tastes and sounds, it’s joys and sorrows, achievements and pitfalls, there is a Paul Kelly song for seemingly every aspect of the Aussie psyche and being. He has created a legacy which chronicles the full range of human experience.
Over his 40 plus year career, Kelly has explored a variety of genres that all come full circle to create his distinct and recognisable sound. Whether he is rocking Dumb Things and To Her Door or moving into country and bluegrass territory by way of Foggy Highway, getting soulful with Vika and Linda or creating contemporary music from Shakespearian sonnets and bird inspired poems, as seen on his latest studio album, Thirteen Ways To Look At Birds, Paul Kelly can make it all sound like it Paul Kelly!
Paul Kelly has long been an integral part of the Australian music landscape. He has multiple Aria Awards to his name and is also an Aria Hall Of Fame inductee, and in 2017 he topped the charts with Life Is Fine and also received an Order Of Australia for his distinguished service to the performing arts and the promotion of the national identity.
All his achievements aside, you know a Paul Kelly set is going to be full of sing alongs and laughs but also introspect and solemnity.
Most recently, Missy wrote a number of original songs for the acclaimed ABC TV show ‘Total Control’. The show became the highest rated new Australian TV drama of the year. She also released new single ‘Carry You’ written by Tim Minchin for his TV show ‘Upright’.
The folk-inflected pop of Sydney based Alex The Astronaut is some of the most honest music you will ever hear. From pointing out the hypocrisy of having billionaires in power while the rest of us get parking fines in hospitals, as noted on her debut single, 2016’s Already Home, to penning an open letter to her 16 year old self on Not Worth Hiding, a song about accepting yourself for who you are and owning one’s sexuality, Alex’s songs are straight from the heart and pull no punches.
Not Worth Hiding became the unofficial anthem to the Vote Yes movement and is one of the most important songs of the last decade. The haunting I Like To Dance focuses on the tragedy of domestic violence and other tracks simply describe everyday life at home with family or the excitement of life in the Big Apple.
Tamworth native, Andy Golledge has become an inner western Sydney legend. His Americana style songs captivating often sold out crowds everywhere he plays. From wildman antics that see him jumping on the bar or piano ripping through songs with Springsteen like energy, to fragile Neil Young style intimacy that gets the whole room to stop and listen, Andy’s music is painfully honest, instantly relatable and above all, catchy as hell.
Title: Maldad (R3HAB Remix)
Label: Ultra Records
If you’re in need of a track to spice up your date night, look no further than R3HAB’s new remix of Steve Aoki and Maluma’s “Maldad.” Delivering a more melodic take on the original, R3HAB incorporates deep, bouncy basslines into the track’s Latin-inspired melodies, which complement Maluma’s sultry vocals with dancefloor-ready energy. “Maldad” is the second time that Aoki and R3HAB have remixed each other, after Steve’s remix of R3HAB & ZAYN & Jungleboi’s “Flames” dropped in January. It’s always a good time when these two heavyweights join forces, so let’s hope some more exciting collaborations between R3HAB and Steve Aoki are coming this year!
“This one was fun. With 2 great names like Steve Aoki & Maluma it’s always an honor to remix a track. Steve and I go way back, of course, and Maluma stands for everything that is cool about Latin artists these days. The combination is great, and I tried to give the song R3HAB’s flavor in the remix, which I think works well. Enjoy!” – R3HAB
Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul – better known as R3HAB – has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the “future of the craft” by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he’s circuited the globe’s best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album “Trouble” through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music’s heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like “Lullaby” and “Hold On Tight,” while his sophomore album “The Wave,” revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB’s “All Around The World” with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. Stay tuned to see what this ever-evolving artist has up his sleeve next!
Title: Falling
Label: Protocol Recordings
Release date: February 21, 2020
After releasing his dance-pop crossover earlier this month, Nicky Romero returns to heavier beats on his new single “Falling.” Romero teamed up with fellow dance music veteran Timmy Trumpet for the track, which delivers all the elements of a tried and tested club anthem. Opening with enthusiastic melodies and soaring vocals, “Falling” kicks into high gear at a heart-pounding 138 beats per minute during its crescendo. Romero and Trumpet have already tested it out in their live sets, including during their b2b during ADE 2019 and at Echostage in Washington, DC, to rave reactions. This is a track for fans craving a classic party starter as well as new listeners waiting for an introduction to real club life. Let’s hope this isn’t the only collaboration we get from these two talented artists this year.
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as “Legacy” (with Krewella) and #1 single “I Could Be The One” (with Avicii), Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collabs with Mike Williams & Amba Shepherd, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, DallasK & XYLØ and Steve Aoki & Kiiara to remixes for the likes of Kygo, Rita Ora, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. All the while showcasing his label’s roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to touch down across the globe for his incredible live performances, including residencies at Las Vegas’ Hakkasan and Omnia and his annual performance at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Timmy Trumpet is a multi-platinum artist who most recently showcased his “World At Our Feet” world tour with over 60 dates and hosted stages at Tomorrowland and Creamfields. He will also be a special guest on Steve Aoki’s upcoming “Neon Future IV” tour across North America. With exciting collaborations like “Falling” now under their belt, rest assured that this is bound to be a huge year for both Nicky Romero and Timmy Trumpet.

Missives is an indie/alt-electronic musical project based in Los Angeles. It is led by producer and multi-instrumentalist Lucas Martinez, who is a native of the mountains of northern New Mexico, a place of wind and trees and echoes. Missives’ sound is lyrical, atmospheric and rhythmic, and informed by minimalist composers, and electronic/experimental music. The compositions feature slow harmonic rhythms, intricate beats, repeated melodic figures and pulsing synths, woven into songs that explore discovery, transformation, loss, acceptance, and the passage of time. Missives’ influences range from Thom Yorke and Steve Reich to FKA Twigs, James Blake and Sigur Ros.
Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?
I live in Los Angeles, CA. The music scene is wide and varied, but is a surprisingly small world. I’m always meeting musicians that know friends of mine or have played music with them. There is a lot of music to be heard on any given night and that is an exciting thing to be around.
How did you first start playing music?
There was a family heirloom upright piano in my house growing up. I started playing around with that as a child. I would sit and figure out melodies of songs I heard my parents listening to, and come up with my own ideas. Later, I started learning saxophone in school and by my teenage years, picked up the guitar and quickly got very serious about it.
What been happening recently?
I’m consistently working on new music for Missives, collaborative projects, and instrumental music. Looking forward to releasing my debut single Dissolve.
Your new single ‘Dissolve’ is about to be released from your debut EP, what influenced the sound and songwriting for Dissolve and the EP?
My influences span quite a far and wide spectrum. Since I first heard “Music for 18 Musicians” by Steve Reich, the idea of repetitive musical figures changing over time or staying constant while everything changes around them has been an important part of how I hear musical ideas. Moving harmony versus static figures, textures, and atmosphere inform a lot of my sound. My music is an amalgam of that minimalist influence and inspiration from artists like FKA Twigs, Thom Yorke, James Blake, and Bjork. The songwriting revolves around concepts of discovery, transformation, loss, acceptance, and the passage of time.
How did you go about writing Dissolve?
I had recently bought a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08 synth. I was exploring the sounds it was capable of and stumbled into a bass line that felt like it was falling over itself. It turned into a fully realized song shortly after that once I added a beat, some synth pads for harmony and a vocal melody. Lyrically, the song is about experiencing loss and navigating the disorientation that comes along with it.
Where and when did you record and who with?
Dissolve and the other tracks on “Patterns of Us” (EP) were recorded in my studio over the course of the last couple years. I’ve worked as a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist for years now and wrote, recorded, and mixed everything myself. I have two tracks with guest vocalists, very close friends of mine, Patrick Joseph and Eleanor Crane. I’m lucky to have close friends who are also incredibly talented artists in their own right.
How did you approach the recording process?
Recording and writing happen simultaneously. They are both the process of creation and flow back and forth between each other. I record one sound or instrument that then inspires an idea for another layer or texture, and so on and so on until a structure begins to emerge. This happens fairly quickly, so I often have place-holder takes of various parts or instruments. Once I have a solid song idea mapped out, I go back and refine individual instruments as needed. I definitely enjoy using recording as a way to explore different sounds, or altering instruments or objects to make them sound like something else.
What programs/instruments did you use to record?
I use Pro Tools for recording and mixing. I use some software synths, but the majority of the EP utilized hardware synths like the Prophet 08, Moog Sub37, and Mother 32. There is also a fair amount of guitar as that is my primary instrument. And a lot of guitar that doesn’t sound anything like a guitar. I use an Echoplex Digital Pro Plus looper to create atmospheric and ambient textures using the guitar. I also like using vocal loops to create textures and pads. There are percussive elements in the songs sourced from random objects like a paper wrapper, scratching on cloth, tapping on things, etc.
What do you like to do away from music?
I spend a lot of time camping, hiking, and being outside. Anywhere I can find mountains, water, and quiet. I read as much as I can, and watch movies and documentaries. I enjoy spending time with friends and family.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Thom Yorke’s latest album Anima has been in heavy rotation for me. As well as Bon Iver’s most recent album and Magdalene by FKA Twigs. Anything by Max Richter.
What’s planned for 2020?
I’ll be releasing my debut EP “Patterns of Us” and continuing to work on new music for Missives, possibly for another EP or a full length depending on how everything shapes up.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Pho or sushi (at least today). My favourite place to hangout is in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California or Northern New Mexico where I grew up. There is also a neighborhood bar here in LA that I go to fairly regularly with friends. It feels like it should be a bar in a random mountain town somewhere, but it sits in the middle of Eagle Rock, a north east LA neighborhood I’m quite fond of.

“Stunning musicality, judicious production and interesting songwriting.” – Double J
“Charlie Gradon’s talent is seemingly uncontainable.” – Life Without Andy
A nostalgic note brought to life with hazy visuals, Charlie Gradon today lifts the veil on the film clip for cathartic new single ‘Grieving’. The video comes ahead of his launch shows in Sydney and Melbourne this April.
Born in his bedroom studio, the triumphant track documents the moments of a bleak week where Charlie had a near death experience, a sick family member, an album lost and a band broken up. It’s a rolling ballad of change, uncertainty and excitement.
Since its release ‘Grieving’ has been embraced on the airwaves, reaching #3 on the AMRAP Metro Radio Charts along with adds on FBi Radio, 2SER and EDGE radio.
‘Grieving’ is the dreamy first track taken from his forthcoming sophomore EP out later this year which the multi-instrumentalist Gradon wrote, performed and produced entirely on his own.
This EP will follow 2018’s ‘Self Doubt’ which intrigued audiences and garnered on-air support from Double J and FBi Radio and had him named in The Music Writer’s Poll for ‘Song of the Year’.
Echoing this praise, he was recently a finalist in Happy Mag’s Needle in the Hay competition out of 2000 entries, and named in Life Without Andy’s Next Big Things for 2020.
Off the back of supporting Sydney’s Brightness, Charlie Gradon will take his passionate delivery from the four walls of his bedroom to the stage as he launches ‘Grieving’ in Sydney and Melbourne this April.

What is your name and role within Vetty Vials?
Vetty Vials – Vocals / Guitar / Boss lady.
Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?
I am currently based in South Sydney about 30 minutes out of Sydney CBD, the Sydney scene has had its difficulties over the past few years with venues closing due to lockout laws but it is still alive and well with some really great bands and solid supporters who are always keen to come out to shows.
How did you first start playing music?
I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember and started learning really basic guitar around the age of 12.
What’s been happening recently?
We just finished our album tour for “Conversations With Myself”, playing in Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne. It was an absolute blast!
Your debut album ‘Conversations With Myself’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
My main inspiration for writing is life experience, the album itself is a combination of songs about feeling lost, dissecting relationships and navigating your 20s. I try to be brutally honest lyrically as that’s the type of thing that draws me in when I’m listening to music.
In terms of the sound, that comes from a variety of different places. When I start writing its generally on an acoustic guitar and the style could go either way. I’m backed by a powerhouse band of guys who have strong rock and punk influences which draws the songs to that heavier, faster direction. The album in itself has elements of both softer and heavier influences which I think is quite cool.
How did you go about writing the music?
Generally, the song writing process would start with me writing a song on acoustic and then coming to the band to get their input. I was lucky to change that up a lot on this record, Dust came from my guitarist Matt bringing the music to me and us then writing it together, and Pride was put together last minute between our Producer Antix and I. It changed the sound dramatically and I’m super happy with how these songs turned out.
Where and when did you record/produce?
The record was one of the first recordings completed in the new Def Wolf Studios in Kurnell back in August 2019 with Daniel Antix. I’ve known Antix for almost 10 years now and he is one of my closest friends, this record would not be what it is without his input. Regardless of the fact that he is an incredible producer, as a friend he knows how to push me to get the best result possible and I am incredibly grateful to have his stamp on all of my musical ventures.
How did you approach the recording process?
We tracked majority of the songs live which was really cool. We knocked out the bulk of the bass, drums, and rhythm guitar over two days and then looked at lead guitar and vocals.
One of my favourite memories is working with Antix (Producer) and Matt O’Keefe (Lead Guitar) on the lead parts after the live tracks were done. Even though we had the basis of what all the lead parts would look like prior to recording it wasn’t until we really started layering the guitars that the songs found their sound. There are so many cool unexpected things we came up with over those last couple of days that were never originally planned.
What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the creation of the album?
I was really up and down with my health around the time we were recording so I’d say the most challenging thing was pushing myself to sing to the best of my ability when my body was fighting against me. The most rewarding thing is the by far the finished product, I’m so proud of how far we have come as a band – and seeing the ongoing support from a growing following we have built nationally is just the icing on the cake!
What do you like to do away from music?
I love to travel, it’s a bonus when I can align it with gigs I want to see.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Phoebe Bridgers, The Menzingers and Pinegrove are on high rotation for me at the moment.
You’ve just come off a Aussie Tour, how were the shows and what were a few highlights?
This tour was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had, every single show exceeded my expectations. The highlight has to be seeing so many familiar faces interstate. We have such an incredible network in Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra and it’s always amazing to reconnect with people.
What’s planned for 2020?
Slowing down on the touring front and focusing on writing, I’ve got a few things in the works that I can’t wait to finish.
Favourite food and place to hang out?
Favourite food – Sushi
Place to hangout – anywhere were there are great live bands playing.

With breakneck anticipation mounting for details on their sophomore album release, Ocean Grove have finally let loose that Flip Phone Fantasy will drop on Friday March 13. The band are also offering another taste off the record with new track ‘THOUSAND GOLDEN PEOPLE‘ out today.
The reveal adds to the melting pot of flavours already lifted in the form of ‘ASK FOR THE ANTHEM‘, ‘SUNNY‘, ‘JUNKIE$‘ and ‘NEO‘. Ocean Grove frontman Dale Tanner explains the album was purposefully crafted to pivot between genres and influences, much like a classic mixtape of the flip phone era.
“Rather than an album that streamlines in one direction of genre, ‘Flip Phone Fantasy’ has the capacity to be someone’s very own mixtape from start to finish,” he says. “This record is the first of its kind, in that its sheer diversity will appeal to music listeners from all corners of the globe.”
Between the blistering chaos of opener ‘SUPERSTAR’, through to the dreamy haze of closer ‘FREAKS’, Flip Phone Fantasy ploughs through a thoughtfully complex series of moods and bends, refusing to sit still long enough to be categorised into anything other than pure “Oddworld” music. Whipped and beaten to life over the better part of two years, Ocean Grove – comprising Tanner, bassist Twiggy Hunter, drummer Sam Bassal and guitarist Matt Henley –were determined to see the vision for their second album become fully realised, meticulously self-producing every creative facet they would output.
Following the breakout success of their 2017 debut The Rhapsody Tapes, Flip Phone Fantasy is undoubtedly yet another defining moment for a band not afraid to harness the weird and wonderful aspects of themselves and the world they inhabit.
“The songs on the album have somewhat of a metaphorical undertone for the futuristic mirror image we hoped to embody by the end of the process. The album is a very intentional blue print for the changes we wanted to see in ourselves.” – Twiggy Hunter
After completing support duties for The Amity Affliction across Australia in January, the band now join the inimitable Crossfaith on their EU/UK tour.
Ocean Grove return to home soil just in time for the long-awaited grand reveal of Flip Phone Fantasy, out March 13 through UNFD.

SUPPORT FOR ‘SHAME’
“A subtle approach to shoegaze-y post-punk that emphasises the pop nature of their songwriting without quietening down the layers of guitar and bass that form its backbone”.
– Pilerats (AUS)
Premiered on triple j’s Home & Hosed
Byron Bay-based indie-rock quartet SEASIDE have just unveiled their dreamy and dark new single ‘Shame’ – produced by the band themselves and mixed by Paul Pilsneniks (The Mars Volta, Boy & Bear, Silverchair).
‘Shame’ is a melancholic slice of lively post-punk that combines themes of dream-pop, garage-rock and shoegaze. Opening with reverb-soaked guitars, steadfast drums and fuzz-laden bass, the track maintains an unwavering and washed-out dynamic; a fitting foundation for the hypnotic melodies of front woman Darcy Dexter.
Dexter describes the motivation behind ‘Shame’:
“’Shame’ is about the people in power not listening to what we really need as a society, turning a blind eye when we need them most. It is a message that if we stand together, we are able to create a positive change”.
Previous singles have been widely embraced by the likes of Australian radio stations triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi, 3RRR, PBS FM, 4ZZZ, 2XX FM, Bay FM and Edge Radio.
The tracks have also received strong support from tastemaker outlets Pilerats, Life Without Andy, The Revue (CAN) and Indie Obsessive (USA), and Spotify via their playlist’s New Music Friday (USA) and (AU/NZ), Front Left, Chilled Afternoon, Brekkie Time, The Office Stereo, Low Key Weekend, Australian Viral 50, Indie Arrivals and Gegen den Strom.
In the live arena, the group have toured Australia multiple times, selling out headline shows and sharing stages with Last Dinosaurs, Angus and Julia Stone, The Jungle Giants and Lime Cordiale, and also performing at mainstay festivals Splendour in the Grass, Party in the Paddock, Summersalt Festival, BIGSOUND Festival and Grampians.
In the coming weeks SEASIDE will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Shame’.
‘Shame’ is available worldwide now
