PRAISE FOR INJURY RESERVE
“Injury Reserve feels remarkably fresh and singular”
Pitchfork
“With each project, the band continues to artfully toe the line between experimental and relatable”
Billboard
“One of the best new groups in hip-hop”
Pigeons & Planes
“Accompanied by production that moves like a series of hard-hitting waves,
it’s a tantalizing taste of what’s to come.”
COMPLEX
“Injury Reserve are dip, dodging, and diving their way up”
Acclaim
The album’s release follows the band’s recent glitchy and gritty single ‘Superman That’ as well as the first single shared from the aforementioned album, ‘Knees’, which NPR’s Reanna Cruz lauded as, “sonically, it’s nothing like anything I’ve heard before.”
Injury Reserve was originally a trio, consisting of rappers Ritchie With a T, Stepa J. Groggs and producer Parker Corey. Their mixtapes Live From The Dentist (released in 2015) and Floss (2016) earned them underground buzz, and they capitalised on the attention with their debut album in 2019, the eponymous Injury Reserve.
The group’s momentum was put on hold when in June of 2020 Groggs tragically passed away. By The Time I Get To Phoenix was largely completed ahead of Groggs’ passing with his contributions, and is the first Injury Reserve music to be released since their eponymous debut album. Ritchie and Corey took the past year to complete the record, and the title has meaning past simply referencing Injury Reserve’s hometown.
It’s a homage to a song that has been covered countless times, which is in line with Injury Reserve’s ethos and approach when it comes to creating music. The group pulls from several styles and eras of hip hop, but runs each one through the Injury Reserve lens, putting their own distinct and cohesive sound across their references. Nowhere is that dynamic more present than on By The Time I Get To Phoenix.

Dooms Children has released the wistful new track “Heavy Year” and launched pre-orders for their upcoming, self-titled debut album, out October 20 on Dine Alone Records/Cooking Vinyl Australia. Dooms Children is the new psych-rock solo project from venerated post-hardcore artist Wade MacNeil (Alexisonfire, Gallows).
Dooms Children finds MacNeil on a different artistic path both in style and content with an honest and sincere offering that shines light on recent life experiences and revelations. “This is the most personal music I have ever released,” says MacNeil. “Dooms Children is about falling out of love, about addiction and lying awake at night wondering if you’ve made all the wrong choices.”

SUPPORT FOR PREVIOUS SINGLE ‘LUMINARY’
“The Washing Line Economy’s ‘one to watch’ status proved to be correct.”
Pilerats (AUS)
“This is an apt one for The Washing Line Economy crew because it’s breezy and sunny conditions all round. Load up!” – 4/5 stars
Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)
“After dishing up a glowing set of songs on 2020’s debut album, The Washing Line Economy have hit – nay! walloped – their straps with this newie. It’s like a warm little pocket of indie-psych sunshine and it feels very them.” – 4/5 stars
Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)
Premiered on triple j Unearthed’s TOPS program
Following the warmly-received release of ‘Luminary’, Perth-based indie-pop quartet The Washing Line Economy have just revealed their magnetic new single ‘Mirrors’ – produced and mixed by Nick Ireland (Spacey Jane, Dulcie, Butter).
‘Mirrors’ begins with visceral guitar and slapback vocals that combine effortlessly in a crisp mix, complimented by graceful drums and ethereal instrumentation. A polyphonic chorus highlights the band’s elegant chemistry, as reverb-laden melodies ascend amidst gentle textures of musical intricacies. Experimental motifs and meticulous dynamics accentuate the track’s iridescence, as the lyrical themes delve into sombre subject matters.
“’Mirrors’ deals with philosophy and wearing your metaphorical mirror to fit into society,” explains the band. “It also deals with doubting the continuation of capitalist society as the climate crisis reaches fever pitch and infinitely increasing GDP seems like nothing but a fantasy.”
Alongside the track is the picturesque accompanying video – shot by Jake Crawford (Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Great Gable, Death By Denim). Filmed in the Perth Hills, the clip consists of the band members performing the song in an outback aesthetic, lightly edited with cunning placements of mirrors in each shot. Featuring laidback exposures and inventive reflection trickery, the video clip is a direct yet buoyant nod to the title.
“Filming the video was quite a task but well worth it!” continues the band. “We grossly underestimated the distance of the hike to the quarry, so we ended up walking around 10km with music gear, mirrors and filming gear in hand!”
‘Mirrors’ is the second single taken from the band’s upcoming six-track concept EP ‘Charles Bonnet’, due for release on Friday, October 22. To celebrate the forthcoming release, they will be playing a release day EP launch at Badlands Bar in Perth.
Previous single ‘Luminary’ was heavily praised by the likes of Pilerats, AAA Backstage, IGGY Magazine (FRA), The Australian Music Scene, Unheard and Niche Music (JPN). It also received radio support from triple j, triple j Unearthed, Radio Adelaide, RTR FM, 2SER, 4ZZZ, 2RRR, SYN FM, Central Coast Radio and Radio Fremantle.

“Showcasing Majak Door’s brilliance in breathing new life into an old favourite sound.”
Pilerats (AUS)
“Songs like this always just jangle straight into my heart. If I had to have one guitar tone/ pedal/mood for the rest of my life, this sorta zone would be it.” – 4/5 stars
Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)
‘Will She Leave You’ added to Spotify playlist ‘Indie Arrivals’
‘Will She Leave You’ premiered on triple j Unearthed’s TOPS program
‘Smoke In The Air’ added to rotation on SYN FM
‘My Nostalgia’ added to MTV Upload
Melbourne-based surf-rock group Majak Door have just unveiled their compelling debut self-titled album – produced by Daniel Caswell (Dune Rats, Bad//Dreems, The Living End) and the band themselves.
The album consists of twelve enthralling tracks of resounding, dreamy indie music that floats and sparkles with intricate competencies that accentuate the elements that have come to define Majak Door’s distinctive sound.
“The album as a whole touches on many different areas,” the band comments on the themes of ‘Majak Door’. “Nostalgia, friendship, politics, and anything else that crosses the mind of a 20-something-year-old.”
Opening track ‘Champagne Brown’ sets the tone with a natural atmosphere of percussion and absorbing bass amidst a floating layer of reverberated guitars. The succulent serenity accentuated by the subtle vocals and liquescent structure flows into the familiar second track ‘L’acqua Salata (Ain’t So Sweet)‘, where shimmering instrumentation and an alteration of dynamism further spotlight the group’s diversity. The third track, ‘Will She Leave You’, heightens a graceful journey full of gliding guitars and balmy drums, while the commanding vocals of lead singer Frankie Vakalis interweave with the track’s virulent environment.
Fourth track, ‘One Thing At A Time’, begins with elegant chorus-laden leads and a calming rhythm section, while charming vocals comfortably advance the song towards its tranquil hook. The infectious energy continues with fifth track, ‘The Man’, where a walking bassline and graceful harmonies underline a playful and buoyant setting before being brought down by the serene sixth track, ‘King Tide’, where the gorgeous landscape is given further depth by the lusciously strolling arrangement of this dreamy offering.
The seventh track, ‘Everybody Wants You’, is an upbeat cacophony of resonating surf-rock and Brit-pop, overflowing with rich layers of guitars and steady drums. At the same time, harmonious vocals swell and flow amidst the fusion. Track eight and recent offering ‘Smoke In The Air’ introduces imposing synths as the tempo drops to a stoical pace, brimming with all the iridescent elements of prodigious indie music, before transitioning into ninth track ‘Headspin‘, where an entrancing texture prowls and intensifies the kaleidoscopic ambience, as dynamics rise and fall to showcase the band’s alluring chemistry.
Tenth track, ‘They Know We Know’, returns with the Western feel that engulfs the record, as multiple scintillating clean guitars intertwine as the spellbinding structure glides on into the penultimate track, ‘My Nostalgia’, a melancholy and vulnerable number produced with utmost delicacy. The final track, ‘How Do You Feel’, closes out the album with assertive drums and compositional complexities, summarising an extensive body of work from a group that has skillfully shown their capabilities and proficiency.
Previous single ‘Smoke In The Air’ was widely embraced by the likes of triple j Unearthed, 4ZZZ, SYN FM and RTR FM, and received online support from The Music, Niche Music (JPN), IGGY Magazine (FRA), AAA Backstage and Milky. Throughout their career, they’ve been extensively praised by Spotify, triple j, FBi Radio, Radio Adelaide, 2XX FM, Pilerats, Milky, The Australian Music Scene, Deafen County, Something You Said, Backseat Mafia Downunder, The Soundcheck and Like Velvet.
Since their inception, the band have consistently traversed the East Coast of Australia, packing out shows across Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle and Melbourne, as well as supporting local contemporaries Planet, The Grogans, Seaside and Merpire.

Where are you currently based?
I am currently based out of Toronto, ON.
How did you first start playing music?
I’ve been singing since I was 5 years old. I was also a competitive figure skater and dancer so I grew up performing. I knew there wasn’t much opportunity for me living in a small-town, so at 18 I decided to move to Toronto to pursue my music career and go to college. Since then I’ve been performing all over the province, song writing, releasing music, and constantly growing & developing my passions.
What’s been happening recently?
Recently I’ve released “Momma’s Boy” and the music video for it. I’ve also been really diving into learning more about important issues that the Desi community faces. Because I am not actually Desi myself, I know how important it is for me to be educated on all aspects of their culture, including the not so pretty parts. I learn something new every day and I am so grateful to be able to be a voice and an advocate alongside them. I think music brings people together and I hope people can find comfort in my songs and realize that although we come from different parts of the world, we have a lot of similarities that make us one and we are not all that different.
Your new single “Momma’s Boy” is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
“Momma’s Boy” is actually a mashup of Country music and Punjabi music. I’m not sure it fits perfectly into a genre right now which is kind of cool, but we’re calling it “desi pop-country”. The song is about my experience being in a relationship with someone who was a “Momma’s Boy”. The lyrics talk about cultural differences and how hard it is being in a relationship with someone who’s family has a lot of expectations… I think that can be really hard on a relationship and no matter what your background is, I think a lot of people have probably been in a similar situation.
How did you go about writing “Momma’s Boy”?
“Momma’s Boy” wasn’t the original title of this song. It started out as “Switch It Up” when I took it to Vipneet. It was a similar concept and we had finished the song, but when we took it to Mark and Erik, they thought it could be even better. So the “Momma’s Boy” idea came up and we just went with it without looking back. I’m so happy with how it turned out.
Where and when did you record/produce/master the song and who was it with?
We finished this song at the end of March 2021. It was produced by Mark Schroor and Erik Fintelman and I wrote it with Vipneet Kaur.
How did you approach the recording process?
The recording process for this song was a lot of fun and a lot more work than my other songs. Because I’m singing in Punjabi, we really had to make sure my pronunciation was as good as it could be, so we had multiple sessions before actually recording the song where I would just practice saying and singing the words.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I am listening to a lot of Mitchell Tenpenny because he just put an album out. I’m also listening to Sidhu Moose Wala because he just keeps releasing songs and they’re all great!
What do you like to do away from music?
I really love vlogging. I also love being on the water. I really enjoy water sports and being up at the lake is very calming and relaxing for me. It’s like my sweet escape.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2021 going into 2022?
A) I am excited to focus on “Momma’s Boy” and push it to its full potential for the rest of the year. We have a lot of big plans for it and I’m so eager to watch everything play out. In 2022 I will be getting back in the studio to finish recording my second EP and hopefully will have a summer full of shows lined up.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
My favourite food is lobster. And my favourite place to hangout is probably up at the lake, on my parents back deck. The sunsets at their place are gorgeous.

Mane has been evolving and expanding his relationship with music for quite some time – and with his new tunes, he further delves into his craft, cultivating songs from an intensely personal space. “Travel has been a big inspiration to me. Places and people I love tend to creep into my tunes,” he explains, “it’s like life filters through the songs and I digest it that way.
Certain songs have such strong memories attached that each time I play them I’m transported to a certain time and place.” He has worked to distill those emotions that are experienced across generations, and he sheds light on the experiences and stories that have the ability to be profoundly moving and channeled those feelings into an expansive collection of songs for the record.
Callahan and the Woodpile found comfort in community. Fronted by singer-songwriter and former solo artist Callahan, The Woodpile may only be having their introduction now, but most members have been playing together for the better part of a decade. After playing together on the road for his first album “Where Are You Going” in 2018, Callahan began writing new material with the band in mind.
Everything felt richer, louder, and more lush with them behind him; and though still true to his Indie-Folk roots, Callahan felt ready to bring The Woodpile into the world. Thus spawns “Burning Each Light”, the first record as Callahan and the Woodpile due out November 2021. The 10 track album weaves through lapsteel-laced Alt-Country and heavy hitting Indie Rock with ease, with shoutable choruses and thoughtful lyrics.

‘Real Hard Week’ is the final single to be lifted from Dominic Breen’s eagerly anticipated upcoming debut album ‘Blue Volume’. Clever, relatable metaphors and gorgeous vocal melodies sit atop rich, meticulously layered guitars and a driving beat. The song is somehow both uplifting and melancholic.
Produced by Tim Fitz (Middle Kids) and mastered by Matthew Neighbour (Matt Corby, The Avalanches), ‘Real Hard Week’ once again showcases Breen’s heartfelt songwriting and extraordinary talent as he performs every instrument on the track.
“Real Hard Week” was the first song we recorded for Blue Volume. I wanted it to be epic, like the pivotal song in a musical, like a Sondheim classic or something. I initially thought it would be a duet and I was using the word ‘Disney’ in the studio to convey what I was trying to say, like, ‘let’s make it more Disney’. But then I realised that the sentiments were truly one-way sentiments, and that in this case, the conclusion at the end of the song could only be my own.” Dominic Breen
With his distinctive yearning voice, gift for observation and lyrical honesty, his singles have continued to turn heads this year. ‘James St Tonight’ picked up 4.5 stars from triple j’s Richard Kingsmill and Declan Byrne, as well as Double J rotation, while ‘Under Your Sorrow’ was added straight to several tastemaker Spotify playlists, 2SER and FBi.
Breen has spent the past couple of years building up to his first full collection of music – the remarkable debut album Blue Volume. Breen’s label Double Drummer on ‘Blue Volume’ record;
“Dom is special – truly special,” says Double Drummer’s Edward Prescott. “In terms of evoking a sense of time and place, he’s one of the most gifted singer/songwriters I’ve ever met. This album is one of my favourite things the label has released. It’s amazing, really amazing.”
PRAISE FOR DOMINIC BREEN
“[James Street Tonight] Had this one well and truly planted in the head ever since first playing it. Tim Fitz’s production and pedal steel adds a great flavour. Dominic‘s dozy Dylanesque delivery has such a classic feel about it too. Add a dose of longing on top of those melodies and you’ve cooked up one great song”
Triple J, Richard Kingsmill
“Dominic always has such a way with words, space and emotion. He’s got stories to tell and you believe every single word.”
Triple J, Declan Byrne
“Equally likely to appeal to fans of Julia Jacklin, DMA’s and Middle Kids as it is to fans of the Go-
Betweens, The Triffids or Roy Orbison.”
Around the Sound
“What a gorgeous lilt, and then you bring in the slide guitar. A dream”.
Double J, Zan Rowe
“I hereby propose a change of wording to a certain slogan. Let’s make it “Is Dom. Is Good.”’.
Triple J Unearthed Dave Ruby Howe
“His is a name that has become synonymous with forward-thinking musicianship on the Australian scene.”
Tone Deaf, Tyler Jenke
“A true artist and songwriter. Every Dom Breen song has its own unique spirit.”
Tim Fitz, Middle Kids

Where are you currently based?
Currently calling North Vancouver, Canada home.
What’s been happening recently?
This summer, I released my second single to the country music world called Floatin’! Co-written and produced by Mitch Merrett. In the spring, I released another tune called “Over A Drink”, so it’s been a fun year releasing this music after touring and playing shows for the past few years.
How did you first start playing music?
My entire life has been on a stage. I went to a fine arts school, did musical theatre, played piano, and was a dancer for fourteen years. When I was around the age of 13, i naturally started writing songs and playing them for my friends and family. I got to perform a song I had written at a Christmas recital in the 8th grade. From there, I was addicted to singing live music. 10 years later, I’m able to do country music as a career!
Your new single ‘Floatin’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I’ve always had this idea of wanting to write a song about floatin’ down a river. I feel like there were so many summer country songs, but nothing strictly about one of the best things to do on the hot river days, Getting your favorite people, some inflatable tubes, and a couple of drinks and river float!
Mitch Merrett, co-writer, and producer of the song liked the idea and we rolled with it. We wanted to capture a swampy country style. Inspired by the grit southern rockers The Cadillac Three and taking similar inspiration from Little Big Town’s smooth sound as well.
Please tell us about your experience with working with Mitch Merrett (who co-wrote and produced the new single).
Mitch is someone who I’ve been connected with and friends with in the music industry for a few years now. In 2020, we started working together on a few different projects. His experience in the industry really brought this song alive and I learned so much throughout the process.
Where and when did you record and produce it?
Back in February, we wrote the song. Then started the recording process in May! Pretty quick!
How did you approach the recording process?
When writing the song, we had a drum loop that I was writing to. In the writing session, he laid a simple draft guitar and I sang a rough vocal to that. We bounced around with the pitch and speed of the song for a little bit. Also spent some time exploring different ways we could add colour to the song! From there, he got the skeleton of the song done, and I came in for a day of vocals, sent it off to the rest of the guys, and here it is!
You’ve released two singles this year – “Over A Drink” and “Floatin’”. How has this experience been?
Really exciting! It’s been a long time in the music industry of playing shows, writing songs, and recording what I’ve been a part of. It’s simply just wonderful that I can finally share the music that I’ve got for people to listen to!
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Hailey Whitters, Lainey Wilson, Olivia O’Brien and of course, the new Olivia Rodrigo album.
What do you like to do away from music?
I love cooking and baking. Hosting special dinners like Christmas or Thanksgiving brings me so much joy! Also, living in BC, we have such a beautiful backyard. So I love being able to do lots of hiking and camping. Really any time spent outdoors, and by the water makes me very happy.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2021?
Currently recording a special song baby of mine. It’s a bluesy ballad, which is a very different approach then the other singles that I’ve put out this year. I’m really excited to share this softer, more vulnerable side.
Favourite food and place to hang out?
Mexican food! Love me some fresh pico on anything. Always in the mood to have tacos in my life. – Favourite place to hangout, depends on the day. Either a dingy dive bar or by the river!

Today, Victoria, BC based actor and singer-songwriter Ajay Friese, released the music video for his compelling new single “Your Eyes”. The track features Ajays unfailingly honest vocal delivery and hooks aplenty in a song about self-empowerment and loving yourself even during your hardest times.
Filmed at Catalogue Studios in Victoria, BC, and directed by Nikolas Facey and Zayden Phan, the “Your Eyes” music video is a candid behind the scenes look into the recording process of the song including producer-artist discussions and a multi-screen climax.
“Growing up aspiring to record and release music, I was always intrigued when artists included in-studio footage in their music videos. Seeing artists on the mic made the music feel so much more real and honest, and fuelled my dream of doing that myself one day. I hope that I can create that same inspiration for others with the “Your Eyes” video. And whether you’re a musician or not, I am hoping this video will allow you to experience the song in a way you might not otherwise,” said Friese.
Seattle-born, Ajay Friese is no stranger to being in the spotlight, as he is best known for his acting career, holding recurring roles in five Netflix Original Series, and making his debut in film as a lead in the critically acclaimed Riot Girls(2019) from the executive producer of Insidious. Some of Ajay’s Netflix roles include playing “Vijay Dhar” as a series regular in all 3 seasons of Lost in Space, playing “Eddie” in five episodes in season 4 of Riverdale, and playing the prince of Wendimoor, Farson Dengdamor in 5 episodes in Season 2 of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.
Whether it’s acting, songwriting, competitive dance, or simply indulging his curiosity in a myriad of other ways, Ajay is determined to apply what he learns along the way to every creative task he takes on. That approach is abundantly clear on all three of his recent singles, “Jasper”, “Higher Stakes”, and “Your Eyes” Ajay’s music is a seamless blend of pop, alt. folk, and rock which will be evident in this single and his upcoming EP that will be released later this year.
Where are you currently based?
I’m currently based in St Kilda in Melbourne.
I first started playing music with my father when I was really young, like three years old. He had me in the studio at six, singing on his albums.
Recently I have been working on finishing a bigger body of work. I have released a lot of singles and now I’m really trying to work on a cohesive flow of new music to release into the new year. Well in lockdown I’ve also been teaching myself how to DJ which is been quite exciting to learn a new way to perform.
I wanted to write a song that allowed people to feel free. I tried to envision myself playing to people and what I want to say to them and what music I don’t want to give them to allow them to let go and feel free. I tried to create music that allows people to take on their own perception of the words, so that they can relate to it too. With this song I kept the lyrics quite minimal as I wanted to create a song I can play live but also in my house DJ sets.
I wrote equal people pretty much on the spot in the studio. I came back and forth a lot with the structure and feature singers. Yet the original track was quite simple to write and really came together quickly.
I recorded this song with Jack Arentz aka Haxx. We have been working together for a long time I actually did my very first single with him. We have a great connection in the studio and I really feel like he understands where I want to go within the dance music scene.
I approached the recording process how I normally would and this was before Covid. Which was just to jump in the studio and busted out in a few days. But then we went into lockdown so Jack and I had to work out of his home studio to finish it. Yet I still feel the song was better after time, so I’m glad we waited.
Yes I’ve just been working on few new things I’m really hoping to have start coming out in summer.
Away from music I love to ride my bike and lately I’ve gotten back into painting which is been quite therapeutic in
At the moment I’ve been listening to a lot of Cinematic Orchestra, Alfa Mist and H.E.R. Because I’m so used to having to learn new music all the time in my downtime I listen to quite a lot of instrumental stuff.
For the rest of this year I plan to just keep trying to get as much as I can out there while also trying to make my art relatable in these new times of the music industry.
I know it’s going to sound ridiculous to say but my favourite food is definitely broccoli. I used to hate it as a child and I think that’s why maybe I like it now as I never used to eat it when I was young.And my favourite place to hang out is probably anywhere by the ocean.
