written by the partae

LEAPS AND BOUNDS MUSIC FESTIVAL IS BACK IN 2022

.

PUTTING THE ‘LIVE’ BACK IN LIVE MUSIC THIS WINTER
The Leaps and Bounds Music Festival will put the ‘live’ back in live music this winter, with an electrifying program of in-person gigs showcasing the artists, producers and local venues that make the City of Yarra Melbourne’s music capital. 
Need to know:
Festival dates: 24 June – 3 July 2022
Location: Venues and spaces across the City of Yarra
Event details and updates: Leaps and Bounds Music Festival (lbmf.com.au)

The festival is set to delight live music lovers of all persuasions, with shows across 35 venues from the enduring dive bars of Fitzroy and Collingwood to the historic Abbotsford Convent; from town halls to record stores and everywhere in between.

Kicking off on 24 June, for 10 days and 10 nights Leaps and Bounds will help regenerate the local live music scene and bring artists and their audiences together again, following a devastating couple of years for the industry.

Yarra City Council is thrilled to be partnering with local venues, producers and artists to present a program that celebrates the breadth and diversity of our local live music industry.

The festival will spotlight First Nations artists, LGBTIQ+ performers, dance, community radio and independent record stores. Events will also honour the unique history and cultural impact of some iconic local venues, as well as provide a platform for the next generation of young artists and producers.

Together with the already announced tribute to PBS radio legend David Heard, Punters Club Reunion Show, Fitzroyalty and Bad Apples House Party, highlights of this year’s festival include:

The Push Music Careers Expo – A free, one-day event for high school-aged young people to discover, learn and plan their careers in the Aussie music industry.

The Dancing Peacock – a journey across India – Presented by Studio J and Sapphire Dance, this dance extravaganza will take you through the many unique dance styles of India, including a Bollywood dance workshop.

No Lights No Lycra – Dance in the dark. Dance like no one’s watching! We’ll turn off the lights and crank up the tunes to release all inhibitions, move moods and work up a wild sweat – all completely sober.

PBS presents Rock-A-Bye Baby – A concert designed for both adults and kids alike, helping inspire the next generation of music lovers in Melbourne. Rock A Bye Baby is a no-frills, daytime gig for families of all ages, with real musicians and bands. We welcome noise, encourage crawling and expect dancing! Line-up to be announced.

Bring it Home – A special musical event for older people, featuring some extraordinary musicians including Wilbur Wilde and Alison Ferrier plus special guests Robyn Archer, Valanga Khoza, Derek Guille and the Ugly Uncles, Crossing the Bridge Choir and Maggie Beer.

Industry Day – A free event in appreciation of the work of not just musicians, but the entire kaleidoscope of freelancers and small businesses who keep the live music sector playing. Music lovers and workers are invited to this rare event put on FOR them, not BY them.

Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School – Now in its 14th year, Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School is Melbourne’s favourite long-running indie/pop night for those who love dancing to music! What sort of music? Classic indie, modern indie and a sweet dose of rock, soul and eclectic pop will be the order of the day – If you can dance to it, Melbourne DJ legend Andrew McClelland will play it.

EOFY Party! with Karen From Finance – Joining up with Thursgay for this special event, you can expect live music from the woman herself, plus live music and drag by Tanzer and live percussion DJ group RL Yacht Wives. Presented by Thursgay and Yah Yahs.

Grapevine Gathering Expands to SA & QLD, confirms 2022 dates

by the partae
written by the partae

Saturday 1st October – Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley, WA

Sunday 2nd October (Public Holiday Eve) – Serafino Wines, McLaren Vale, SA 

Saturday 8th October – Rochford Wines, Yarra Valley, VIC

Saturday 15th October – Roche Estate, Hunter Valley, NSW

Sunday 16th October – Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton, QLD

 

Australia’s favourite wine and music pairing Grapevine Gathering have just announced they will be expanding to South Australia and Queensland, confirming dates for 5 wineries around the country.

Loveable Instagram celebrities and all-round legends ‘The Inspired Unemployed’ will be hosting Grapevine Gathering at all 5 shows, performing changeover DJ sets, and various other shenanigans.

For their first foray at festivals, they hosted Grapevine Gathering VIC back in January, taking sweaty shoes from random punters and doing shoeys on stage. They also hosted a segment of ‘The Bachelorette’, performed an acoustic version of ‘Drops of Jupiter’ and gave it a crack at DJing the changeovers. The general consensus was their dancing skills were much better than their DJing skills. Hopefully they learn to DJ before October comes around….

The lineup is yet to be announced, but past headliners have included the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, Flight Facilities, The Wombats, Tkay Maidza and The Veronicas so we’re sure Grapevine Gathering has something special up their sleeves.

Introducing Grapevine Gathering’s new partners in wine….situated in the heart of McLaren Vale and only a 45 minute drive from Adelaide CBD, Serafino Wines will welcome Grapevine Gathering to its charming vineyards for the inaugural South Australian gathering.

Sirromet Wines, located in the picturesque Mount Cotton, the Queensland edition is only a short drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Grapevine Gathering will also be returning to its homes at Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley, Rochford Wines in the Yarra Valley, and Sandalford Wines in Swan Valley.

Grapevine Gathering is brought to you by Untitled Group, the largest independent music promoter in Australia and the masterminds behind festivals such as Beyond The Valley, Pitch Music & Arts, Grapevine Gathering, Wildlands, For The Love, Ability Fest & more.

CROOKED COLOURS WANNA ‘FEEL IT’ AUSTRALIAN INDIE-ELECTRONIC TRIO RETURN WITH ELECTRIC NEW SINGLE OFFERING FIRST NEW MUSIC OF 2022

by the partae

CROOKED COLOURS ANNOUNCE MAMMOTH AU/NZ HEADLINE TOUR
AND SET TO PLAY RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE WITH LOUIS THE CHILD

Acclaimed Australian indie-dance trio Crooked Colours have released their first single of 2022, ‘Feel It’ further teasing the release of their third studio album following their critically acclaimed 2017 debut ‘Vera’, and their sophomore album ‘Langata’ released in 2019. The new single was written and produced by the Crooked Colours trio, Phil Slabber (vocals, guitar, production), Leon Debaughn (keys, production), and Liam Merrett-Park (drums), and is available now HERE.

“This is a song that was created in the U.S. on one of our first writing trips together, realising the work it took into being fortunate in this position but still wanting more from our career,” Phil Slabber of Crooked Colours shares. “Realising that you can always do better if that is detrimental or not. This song encompasses a lot of hard work but at the same time the pursuit of something better.”

Known for their stellar onstage charisma, the trio have built a devout following across Australia and New Zealand, having undertaken numerous national tours in support of their albums ‘Vera’, and ‘Langata’, alongside a multitude of festival slots across Splendour In The Grass, Wildlands Festival, Groovin’ The Moo, and Laneway Festival. The band have also undertaken an impressive string of U.S. festivals in recent years such as Bonnaroo, CRSSD, Life Is Beautiful, Firefly & Lightning In A Bottle to name a few. More recently the band toured East Coast Australia for For The Love, alongside Dom Dolla and Mallrat. Today, the trio announce their largest undertaking to date with a headline tour kicking off this August, including shows at Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide, Fremantle Arts Centre in Perth, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, ahead of some massive crowds at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, and the iconic Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.

Crooked Colours quickly became one of Australia’s hottest electronic acts, racking up over 200M worldwide streams with their popular singles ‘Light Year (Feat. Masked Wolf & Jasiah),’  ‘No Sleep,’ ‘Falling,’ ‘Love Language,’ and of course, their 2017 breakthrough smash, ‘Flow.’ Hailed by EDM.com for their “harmonious blend of indie, house, and pop,” the Fremantle, Western Australia-based trio fuse delicate acoustic instrumentation, evocative vocals, upbeat lyricism, and dancefloor-ready synth transmissions to create a dynamic, shape-shifting sound all their own. Having earned worldwide critical applause and an ever-growing fan following, Crooked Colours have worked with an array of artists from Jasiah and Masked Wolf to the legendary DJ duo Hermitude, rising DJs/producers like kryptogram, slenderbodies, Hayden James and more.

“There’s a lot of hate and shit going on in the world. Everything is so tense, we just want you to feel good.” – Crooked Colours

“Crooked Colours can do no wrong…the perfect balance of instrumentation and electronic elements.” – THIS SONG IS SICK

“Having established themselves as one of Australia’s hottest emerging electronic acts, Crooked Colours certainly are on their way to the top.” – CULTR

“Uplifting and emotive…suited for both a sunset dance party or the afterhours’ dancefloor.” – DANCING ASTRONAUT

“Crooked Colours (have) quickly made a name for themselves carving their own unique yet perfect blend of indie pop and electronic music.” – FLAUNT  

“Dipping into the synth world of electronic, the bright guitars of pop, and the sultry, mysterious lyrics usually associated with indie rock, Crooked Colours shows abilities across the board.” – POPDUST

“Crooked Colours (have) acquired a reputation for that precise festival-friendly sound that makes you want to get outside and frolic in maximum sunlight.” – SF WEEKLY

THE CHATS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM ‘GET F*CKED’+ AUSTRALIAN TOUR

by the partae
written by the partae
Sunny coast punks, The Chats unapologetically announce the release of their second album, GET F*CKED for release worldwide on August 19th via Bargain Bin Records. The band have also let a new single and video rip PLUS revealed an Australian headlining tour for September 2022. 

LISTEN: THE CHATS – ‘6L GTR’

‘6L GTR’ is the new album’s opener; a swinging takedown of a speed-crazed status-symbol driver – a critique piqued when Eamon spotted the titular licence plate in an airport carpark. After the immortal chorus of “don’t need a big flash fancy car, just need a six-litre GTR”, Sandwith instinctively broke into a quote from David Lee Roth’s purring dropdown rap from Van Halen’s ‘Panama’ – most apposite! – but unfortunately Roth didn’t approve of this so they had to axe it.

“Our manager got an email from David Lee Roth’s people that said “NO!” we can’t use it.” Sandwith explains, “What a dog c*nt.”

New album GET F*CKED is fully loaded with 13 new, high-velocity punk tracks that rip from start to finish, and lyrically cover panic attacks, junkies, prison breaks, the price of smokes, surf mafia, being drunk in every pub in Brisbane and many more based on personal experiences.

Once they’d worked up a rollicking batch of new tunes, they had actually planned to record again in Geelong, near Melbourne, with Billy Gardner, who produced ‘High Risk Behaviour’, but due to pandemic border closures, they nailed it instead in six days at Brisbane’s Hunting Ground facility with Cody McWaters, who’d worked on a single for Eamon’s other band, Headlice.

The more you listen to it, the more you realise that there was only one plausible title for this second Chats album. “We just thought how funny would it be, if you were a kid seeing it on the album cover. I remember going to K-Mart and seeing the Green Day ‘Dookie’ CD, and being like, ‘Aw man, this is the craziest album cover I’ve ever seen!’ Imagine being a kid and just seeing a CD that says, ‘Get F*cked’!”

The Good Love – Unveils Luminous New Cut ‘Sunshine Sometime’

THE GOOD LOVE

UNVEIL LUMINOUS NEW CUT ‘SUNSHINE SOMETIME’

Click to stream ‘Sunshine Sometime’

 

SUPPORT FOR ‘SUNSHINE SOMETIME’

“A sweet, seductive love song for all.”
Atwood Magazine (USA)

“Cut from an authentic paisley-print cloth, The Good Love dish out this ’60s psych-pop track with harmonies and starry-eyed vibes for days.” – ★★★★
Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)

“Oh yes I very much want to pick daisies and lay lazy in the sunshine to this.” – ★★★★
Imogen Hanrahan – triple j Unearthed (AUS)

 

NSW-based rock quintet The Good Love have just revealed their dreamy new single ‘Sunshine Sometime’ – produced by Jack Nigro (Pacific Avenue, The Terrys, TOTTY).

‘Sunshine Sometime’ is a moseying, ‘60’s inspired gem filled with bright tremolo guitars, groove-laden bass and playful piano that set a beguiling bedrock for enchanting vocal harmonies to soar. The track builds elegantly with deft dynamics, led by lead singer Leroy Ashford-Meehan and his earnest delivery, capping off a delightful ride through dreamlike steez.

The band talks about the inspiration behind ‘Sunshine Sometime’:

“’Sunshine Sometime’ is about the longing for someone who cannot be described more than a beam of sunshine. It was inspired by a visit to Manning’s Great Aunt Margaret in Melbourne. The song reflects on a wholesome morning with a lovely individual, telling jokes and stories and sipping tea. In this respect, we all wish to have someone like Margaret, who can shine sunshine onto others. So raise your teacup/glass/whatever and tell someone you love them.”

The band will embark on a tour across New South Wales, including stops at Sydney, Milton, Thirroul, Wamberal and Kiama, to coincide with the release. This continues on from multiple sold-out headline shows and a national tour with Pacific Avenue.

Taking cues from luminaries The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, The Good Love effortlessly brings the nostalgic sounds of 60s pop-rock into a contemporary setting. While the members are spread across New South Wales locations Byron Bay, Yamba and the Central Coast, they come together to create an infectious sonic footprint of effervescent tunes full of dancing and singalongs. The band mentions, “just the fact that we all live so far away from each other but come together for shows recording and practice is pretty unique, I think.”

‘Sunshine Sometime’ is available worldwide now

FALLS 2022/2023 LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT BIRREGURRA | BYRON BAY | FREMANTLE

by the partae
written by the partae
Sign up here for early access to presale, the only way to buy tix at First Release prices
General Tickets on sale THURSDAY 12 MAY 9am local time

Yep, Falls is ready to elevate your New Year with exciting new venues in VIC and WA and a fresher, deeper lineup and electronic experience than ever before!

Message your best festival mates and prepare to party your way into 2023, camping at Pennyroyal Plains VIC or North Byron Parklands NSW, or cityside at Fremantle Park WA when Falls returns with a lineup that includes some of the biggest acts on the planet right now alongside a host of festival favourites and exciting stars of the future across three main stages.

Falls’ El Capitan Stage, showcasing global headline artists across hip hop, indie, rock and pop, is where this Summer’s major music moments are set to play out! Sugarloaf Resort, with high end production and custom structures, is Australia’s new home for the very best in global electronic artists. And the Futures Stage is where you’ll find cutting edge acts, showcasing the future of music.

Arctic Monkeys 2006 album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not became the fastest selling debut in UK history. They are the only band to have won both Best British Group and British Album of The Year at The Brits three times. They’ve won 7 Brit awards in total alongside an Ivor Novello award, a Mercury Music Prize, 20 NME awards, 5 Q awards and 3 Grammy nominations. With over 30 million followers, the band’s music has been streamed more than 9 billion times to date. They’ll headline Reading & Leeds and festivals across Europe before heading to Falls!

Lil Nas X released the culture-shifting 4x Platinum hit ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’ in March 2021, the queer anthem debuting at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single features on his GRAMMY-nominated, certified Platinum debut album Montero which was released last September and landed spots on “Best Of 2021” lists across the globe. The album also boasts back-to-back Top 40 #1s with ‘Industry Baby’ featuring Jack Harlow and ‘That’s What I Want’. The 23-year-old rapper, singer and songwriter rose to fame with his 2019 mega hit ‘Old Town Road’, which simultaneously upended the music industry and shattered genre norms. The 16 x Platinum remix with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history, earning Lil Nas X 2 Grammys. Multiplatinum hits ‘Panini’, ‘Rodeo’ and ‘HOLIDAY’ followed. Don’t miss the incredible Lil Nas X’s first live shows in Australia at Falls!

Forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx helped shape the sound of the late 2000s and beyond with his Mercury Music Prize-winning group the xx and solo work. He released debut single ‘Far Nearer/Beat For’ in 2011. Further singles ‘Girl/Sleep Sound’, ‘All Under One Roof Raving’, ‘Loud Places’, and ‘Gosh’ followed, the latter two appearing on his debut album as a solo artist, 2015’s In Colour, which received nominations for a Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy, the Mercury Prize and Album of the Year at the Brit Awards. Jamie released ‘Idontknow’ in 2020, boasting a faster-pace and more aggressive sound than his In Colour era. He returned in April this year with the festival ready anthem, ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’, released alongside his massive set at Coachella. Get ready to move when Jamie xx plays Falls 2022/2023!

Few artists have made an impact like South Korean born DJ and producer Peggy Gou. Inspired by the glory years of London club Plastic People, her natural feel for house and techno’s legacy led to a run of international hits; ‘Gou Talk’, ‘It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)’, ‘Starry Night’ and ‘Jigoo’. These iconic tracks with their playful, unmistakable MPC rhythms and irresistible melodies have seen her tour the world’s leading clubs and festivals, from Glastonbury to Dekmantel, De School to Printworks and now Peggy Gou will be the very first artist to headline Falls’ new Sugarloaf Resort.

This year Falls will make its debut in fresh locations in Victoria and Western Australia, and with this change comes lush new options for music lovers that like to live large…

BODYJAR ANNOUNCE NEW RITUALS TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS CHASING GHOSTS & LOLA NEW RITUALS OUT NOW

by the partae

Today, legendary Melbourne punk rock band Bodyjar announce the New Rituals Tour. Bodyjar will be heading out on the road in support of their latest album New Rituals. Special guests will be Aboriginal lead indie punk band Chasing Ghosts while opening up will be punk rock newcomers Lola. Full details below.

For nearly 30 years now, Bodyjar have built their local & international following with relentless touring and blistering high energy live shows, that have made them one of the most respected punk rock bands in the world.

Produced by Bodyjar and Sam Johnson (Northlane, Luca Brasi, Camp Cope, The Bennies) and mixed by Steve Evetts (New Found Glory, Architects), New Rituals sees Bodyjar return to the uptempo catchy punk rock the band are renowned for. Calling on all their experience over the years, the new album is a true return to form from one of Australia’s finest.

PRAISE FOR NEW RITUALS 

“Bodyjar are still the gold standard of Aussie pop punk” – Double J 

“Equal parts slick and powerful, and paired with the classic sound they’ve become known for” – Rolling Stone Australia

“A New Bodyjar Ripper” – Wall Of Sound

To survive over 25 years as a critically acclaimed and popular international live touring act takes more than good luck…it also takes determination, integrity and a knack for writing great songs. If you’ve spent any time skateboarding in Australia over the last few decades, your ears would have been assaulted by the sheer melodic mastery of tracks such as Not The Same & One In A Million. New Rituals is the 7th LP for Bodyjar which harks back to those songs, in what might be their most powerful record yet.

LISTEN TO NEW RITUALS
Special guests and NIMA nominated “New Talent of The Year” Chasing Ghosts came out blazing and unapologetic last year dropping their critically acclaimed EP HOMELANDS via Bad Apples Music. The EP received 4.5/5 stars from Rolling Stone Australia, titling them “the band Australia needs right now.”

The Grogans drop their churning psychedelic slow jam ‘Inside My Mind’ with kaleidoscopic music video + announce AU/NZ tour dates

by the partae
written by the partae

“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 announce an upcoming Australia New Zealand tour this winter, heading to Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.

Out today via Cousin Will Records in tandem with a kaleidoscopic new video accompaniment, ‘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. Be sure to join the band tonight at 6pm AEST as they go live on their Youtube to join their fans in the video’s official release.

“The concept behind Inside My Mind’s music video was to create a set that made it look almost as if we were performing inside our own heads. The installation + projections build on this concept further, as when each of us are playing on our own within the installation, it is as if our minds are clogged up with our own thoughts (in this case, colours). These shots are then mixed in with the shots of the three of us all playing together, those shots are a lot less dense, with the colours / projections working together to create beautiful visuals without much at all getting in the way.” – The Grogans

nside 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.

‘Inside My Mind’ Lyrics
I should have been lonely, according to all the facts.
I should have felt something, I felt it inside my chest.

Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.

And I thought I was upset, from all the things you did to me.
I realised something, all the things were in my head.

Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.

It’s in my head, It’s screwing up my head.
I hoped for peace of mind instead.

Must have been a thing inside my mind because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.
Must have been a thing inside my past because I can’t seem to find it ‘round here.

Teddy Swims announces debut headline tour of Australia & New Zealand – September 2022

by the partae
written by the partae

Frontier Touring are delighted to welcome one of the hottest rising names in American music, Teddy Swims, to Australia and New Zealand for the very first time in September 2022 – the Atlanta, Georgia singer is set to perform four special headline shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland with his electric live band, Freak Freely.

‘There is no doubt in my mind that Swims will emerge as one of the most important voices of this decade and beyond.’ – The Hype Magazine
​‘Artist You Need To Know’ – Rolling Stone
​‘Outrageously talented’ – James Cordon

Famous for his rich baritone, plentiful tattoos, and genre-crossing chameleon sound, Teddy (real name Jaten Dimsdale) has a following of millions, the singer just wrapping a sold-out, 33-date US tour this week, with a 20-date European leg this month. The numbers speak for themselves: 450 million+ streams globally, over 400 million YouTube views, fans spread right across the globe. Teddy Swims’ sound defies categorisation, but it sure puts a smile on your face: from soul to funk, gospel to country to R&B, it all comes back to that incredible voice. You can hear it on his just-released, retro Motown-vibed new single ‘dose’, or the viral hit ‘911’, the epic ‘Bed On Fire’ (viewed over 30 million times on TikTok), his country crossover hit ‘Broke’ (ft. Grammy nominated superstar Thomas Rhett), tracks such as ‘Love For A Minute’, and many more.

In the US, major TV hosts Ellen DeGeneres (watch here), James Corden (here) and Stephen Colbert (here) have showcased his talents, while the 29-year-old also counts famous names such as will.i.am, Nelly, Tim McGraw and Shania Twain as fans. Teddy’s 2020 cover of Twain’s ‘Still The One’ alone has earned a staggering 84 million views.

 

The grandson of a Pentecostal preacher, Teddy grew up inspired by Al Green and playing football, performing in metal, punk, and hip-hop outfits as a teen. In 2019 while living in Texas, encouraged by his father he started posting covers on YouTube. From Marvin Gaye, The Weeknd, Amy Winehouse, Billie Eilish and more, they were soon watched by millions, Swims’ later signing to Warner Music in 2020. 2021’s Tough Love EP immediately landed him on playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday, Retro Pop and Just Good Music, Amazon’s Platinum Pop and Fresh Pop, plus highlights on Tidal, Apple Music, and Pandora.

Today, Swims’ fast-rising trajectory is a result of his glorious energy, unbeatable hooks and spirit – watch him talk music and life in a recent chat with Heavily Inked here. Guaranteed to have you dancing, this is one live performance music lovers won’t soon forget!

With a cracking live band behind him and Teddy’s soaring voice, these special theatre shows are just the beginning of what’s to come down under… don’t miss Teddy Swims, performing live on stage this September!

Nocturnal Animals Release Hot-Blooded New Single ‘Dancing In The Blood’

by the partae

Previous support for Nocturnal Animals
“I’m liking how there’s some dreamy sorta slacker sounds to go with your catchy and ferocious punk elements. big one!”
[About ‘Where’s My Mind Been?’]
(Declan Byrne, Triple J)“The interjecting vocal yelps really brought this one to life. Living up to its name of fire and ice type too.” (Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J)“A slowburn of an indie punk track, combining some really nice sonic elements! Can defs sense that Weezer influence, we love to hear it.”
4 / 5 stars (Pip Rasmussen, Triple J)

“With each and every one of their tracks, the Adelaide based alt-rockers have struck gold, leaving us to seriously question just what magic tricks they have up their sleeves.” (Hysteria Mag)“A slow tempo, anthemic number that gives the parting middle finger salute to an ex-partner moving out.” (Heavy Mag)

“Nocturnal Animals pack a punch with their raw alt-rock/punk sound” (Aus Music Scene)

Known for their high-voltage grunge-pop anthems oozing with unapologetic punk-rock power, Adelaide alt-rockers Nocturnal Animals are releasing their ferocious new single ‘Dancing In The Blood’ (out April 29).

With their raw, propelling punk anthems doused in just the right amount of angst, Nocturnal Animals aren’t sleeping on the job, with the new track ‘Dancing In The Blood’ marking their second release of the year following dreamy punk puncher ‘Where’s My Mind Been?’.

Now, ‘Dancing In The Blood’ thrusts forward, dripping with visceral bass lines, frenzied electric guitar riffs and accelerating drums, the track pulsing with an energy that would make ravers of the 90s reach for their light-up goggles. Paying homage to Blink-182, Nocturnal Animals’ distinctive emo-punk infused vocals are shared between two band members, strengthening the inflection of the verse as it moves into an addictive chorus bleeding with anthemic grunge-pop hooks.

Equipped with a red-blooded instrumental breakdown featuring intensely building drums and driving guitar solos, ‘Dancing In The Blood’ screams to be played surrounded by moshpit enthusiasts past and present.

The first song that the band have ever written from a jamming sesh, ‘Dancing In The Blood’ explores the sexual tension induced dance that two people play as they thrust for connection, as the band explain:

“The song is about the raw and fleeting feeling of passion that comes from the endorphins as you play the push and pull act of hollow intimacy, both people knowing it isn’t forever but nevertheless making them feel comforted in the entanglement of one and other’s bodies.”

Nocturnal Animals are continuing to make a name for themselves, most recently supporting DZ Deathrays and seeing support for previous releases from Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, Hysteria Mag, AAA Backstage, Punktuation Mag, Heavy Mag, The Faction, Aus Music Scene, Scenestr, Moody Music Blog, Eat This Music, Radio Adelaide, 3RRR, idobi Radio and more.

Bleeding with punkish power, Nocturnal Animals’ new single ‘Dancing In The Blood’ is out on April 29.

PLAY/LISTEN
‘Dancing In The Blood’ interstate tour:
Sat, May 21 – Unibar, Adelaide
