Throughout their illustrious career, the name Krewella has become known for hard-hitting and yet emotionally charged music. True to form, the sisters’ new forthcoming album “The Body Never Lies” is a shining example of their signature sound. After releasing singles “Never Been Hurt” with BEAUZ and “No Control” with MADGRRL, Krewella announce the 10-track masterpiece, coming out on March 04. The title hints at the range of emotions within the album, with each track as unique and varied as our feelings themselves. After a long wait for this highly anticipated body of work, to say that Krewella has done it again with “The Body Never Lies” would be an understatement. The album coincides with their 2022 album-themed tour featuring their live show, with DJ sets in select cities. The tour kicks off on April 01, covering 2+ months and hitting cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Denver and more. See below for the album’s tracklist, the tour’s dates and pre-sale of the tour tickets.
“The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of the soul, an instrument of knowing, a rocket ship to other worlds. Every cell, pore, and bone recalls the past, absorbs the present, and senses the future. ‘The Body Never Lies‘ is at times an angry, sometimes feverish, but always a euphoric conversation about feeling, remembering, and existing in our individual vessels that encase our soul and memories.” – Krewella
“The Body Never Lies” Tracklist:
01. Intro
02. Traces
03. No Control (with MADGRRL)
04. In the Water
05. War Forever
06. You don’t even have to try
07. Never Been Hurt (with BEAUZ)
08. Drive Away
09. 6 Feet
10. I’m just a monster underneath, my darling
Sisters Jahan and Yasmine exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut self-released EP “Play Hard,” which has now been streamed almost 150M times on Spotify alone; additionally, their single “Alive” from the EP has been certified Platinum. Since then, the duo has made a name for themselves and their hard-hitting yet melodic and vocal-driven sound through releases like “Live for the Night,” “Enjoy the Ride,” and more. In 2016, Krewella was awarded a coveted place on Forbes‘s “30 Under 30” list. They have performed at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and many others, in addition to their own headlining tours. As one of the main elements of the Krewella canon, the group’s onstage performances serve as the live extension of their music and art, incorporating a multitude of audiovisual elements together with Jahan and Yasmine‘s live vocals and powerful onstage energy.

Where are you currently based?
Riley: We’re all from South Eastern Sydney and are mainly playing gigs around the inner west and the city.
How did you first start playing music?
Maddy + Riley: We’ve all always been avid music listeners and kind of serendipitously fell into music! Dom began drumming on the wii game Rock Band, Riley started as a drummer and taught himself guitar at 12, Rosalie on ukulele in highschool, Maddy on classical piano and Laura in school choir. We all thrive on music, to quote Riley “I’d go insane if I couldn’t play guitar for a week.”
Your debut single Ok? is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
Maddy: There wasn’t anything specific, but my songwriting in general is massively influenced by Little Birdy, Two Door Cinema Club and Lily Allen. They all have such a unique style and honest, authentic lyricism that I try to mirror in my own writing.
Maddy: Ok? Came about as a very necessary source of catharsis! I wrote it after being romantically rejected in a really confusing way that I didn’t know how to process, so the song follows a narrative of my own reflective process about the experience. It begins with me invalidating my own feelings and claiming to be ok, but by the end I confess I wasn’t ok and I come to terms with the experience. I brought it straight to the band and ever since it has become a favourite live!
Rosalie: We recorded at Pale Blue Dot with Tim Mcartney and Andy Scott our producer back in November 2021.
What programs/equipment did you use?
Rosalie: We’re actually quite inept with technology so all technological dimensions were handled by our amazing team Andy Scott and Tim Mcartney.
Maddy: It was phenomenal! They are both so professional, diligent and kind. They gave us a great first recording experience and did everything possible to make sure we were happy with ‘Ok?’ We are so honoured to be able to work with them and can’t express enough our gratitude!
Maddy: It’s really exciting to be able to diversify the Sydney music scene which is so male dominated right now! We’ve had a lot of positive experiences- girls often approach us and say it’s refreshing to see more female representation. At the same time we’ve also experienced sexism like the time all the girls got catcalled during a performance. It’s definitely challenging at times but rewarding overall.
The band won UNSW battle of the bands! What was this experience like and what opportunities did it bring?
Riley: It was an awesome experience to meet and play with all those great bands, and we got to play on the iconic roundhouse stage which was much bigger than we’re used to! It also got us into contact with Reenie from FBI radio who was generous enough to debut our single ‘Ok?’ on radio. We’ve also been lucky enough to be returning to the Roundhouse for a gig this year so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
Maddy: Our mascot is named Peplum! He is a small tubby pink stuffed animal with his own Instagram handle: @peplumtakesontheworld. You can spot him in our photoshoots or at the front of the stage at gigs. He is omnipresent, a fan favourite and a big part of the band!
Laura: Our preferred genres and artists vary so much between band members and I’d say this is one of our biggest assets when it comes to the creative process. We have a big spread between us- Riley’s lead parts are influenced by American rock like Soundgarden, Dom and I love Arctic Monkeys, Rosalie loves Paramore and Maddy listens to a lot of classical music.
What do you like to do away from music?
Maddy: We’re all in uni so that takes up time! Otherwise hobbies across the band include swimming, knitting, Mariokart and watching Big Lez on YouTube.
Dom: We’ve got a big year ahead of us! Our merch has just dropped and we’re recording three more singles next month which will be released very soon. Otherwise, we’re keen to continue gigging around Sydney and potentially even Newcastle/Wollongong!
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Laura: We love hitting Waterloo Maccas after practice, where we typically dig into a 24 pack of nuggets and some orange juice.

NIMA nominated “New Talent of The Year” Chasing Ghosts have announced a co-headline tour with Sydney band Amends. The tour, which goes right through March, will see Chasing Ghosts (Jimmy Kyle) performing solo in intimate surroundings, playing songs from the bands critically acclaimed release Homelands, out now via Bad Apples Music.
“I’m really looking forward to creating great memories with the good folks in Amends, our special guests but most of all our supporters! I have a new appreciation for just how lucky we are being able to tour at present. Connecting with good crowds and music lovers washes away all this cynicism we’ve all endured. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share Homelands with so many people in a really personal way! I look forward to everyone coming out to a show to say g’day!” – Jimmy Kyle – Chasing Ghosts
Sydney’s Amends released their sophomore album Tales Of Love, Loss and Outlaws in 2021 through Resist Records. The new album serves as the bands most consistent release to date.
‘It’s been roughly 9 months since our album launch show, after which we have had numerous tours cancelled. We cannot be more thrilled to be able to pick up where we left off and taking our latest record on the road. To be able to do it with the incredibly talented Jimmy Kyle of Chasing Ghosts is such a treat. We greatly admire Jimmy’s song writing and storytelling, so when the opportunity presented itself, it made complete sense to jump at the idea of doing the tour together.’ – Marcus Tamp – Amends
Chasing Ghosts came out blazing and unapologetic last year dropping their ripper first track SUMMER from the EP HOMELANDS to kickstart the year. The EP received 4.5/5 stars from Rolling Stones Australia titling them, “the band Australia needs right now.”
The track finds Jimmy Kyle singing in both English and, for the first time ever, in his native tongue as he explores the horrors of the 1856 Towel Creek massacre. The singer-guitarist delivers the song through the eyes of a grieving Aboriginal Elder, telling the story of “Baaba” (Babaang) Jack Scott as a baby; the lone survivor of the Towel Creek tragedy. Incredibly, Kyle learned of a close family link to that Elder through a schoolyard incident when he was young.
’Summer’ on track to be one of the most powerful entries in their discography to date.” – Rolling Stone
“When it comes to addressing Indigenous affairs in the music scene, no one does it quite like Chasing Ghosts frontman J
“Australia’s best new music for February…weaving English with his native tongue, and delivering a powerful punk song with sugary hooks and a thrilling momentum that belie the horrors of such a massacre” – The Guardian

For Morgues, music is an extension of their mutual passion for photography and design, inspired by and driven to build atmospheric spheres of their own, both tangible and tactile, visually and aurally. This music manifests in deceptively detailed walls of sound – misty shoegaze cross-pollinated with the DIY instincts of bedroom pop, a sound Hatchie and Alvvays alike. Cath continues, “I don’t have that much life experience so most of my songs come from characters that I read about and immerse myself in, or sometimes a story I’ve come up with myself. I think Celeste is better at the actual music stuff, she can come up with the chord progressions while I’m the one with a whole book worth of lyrics, so often I’ll send her a bunch of random lyrics and she can arrange them into something cooler.”
This is the universe Morgues debut with ‘Outer Space‘, shifting visually between animated galactic sketches, jangly Super 8 film and scenes of 1950’s film and television programs atop webcam footage of each other. Of the song, Celeste explains “Outer Space is a love song for anxiety, space and dogs. Cath started writing this song at the very beginning of Morgues while thinking about the things she would like to do but struggles with due to anxiety, such as being in a relationship and going to unfamiliar places.” Cath elaborates, “It’s like an argument with myself of ‘I want to do these things, I want to fall in love and go to space!’ but ‘I really love the familiarity of where I am right now, even if it means I’m missing out on doing the things I want to do’” Roll up for the magical Morgues tour, stay tuned for more.
‘Outer Space‘ is out now via Broth Records, buy/stream it here.

Luciano, Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Todd Edwards and more to feature
The dust has barely settled on an epic New Year’s Eve party but Studio 338 is already back with an irresistible run of parties in the first part of 2022. The Release opening kicks things off on January 29th with Luciano then the likes of MOSCH, a big Music On Birthday,Space Opening Fiesta and Sankeys Opening host DJs such as debutant Todd Edwards plus Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Matt Jam Lamont, Wookie, CC83 and many more to be announced. Limited tickets are on sale now.
After a decade at the forefront, Studio 338 is internationally recognised as one of Europe’s leading super clubs. This run of parties backs that up and will see the whole venue open, including the vast main room with its exposed brick walls, raised podiums and wrap-around balconies all making the dance floor into an atmospheric cauldron. World class sound throughout from VOID Acoustics and real devotion to production, lights and lasers always elevate every party to the next level.
This summer, Release will head to Ibiza for some uncovered dances, but first the in-house night opens the year at Studio 338 onJanuary 29th. The party will mark a hugely anticipated debut for Swiss-Chilean minimal master and Cadenza label head Luciano, who is one of the most dexterous DJs in the game and always someone who serves up surprises. He will also be joined by Reboot for the event. US house and garage god Todd Edwards then makes his debut at Studio 338 for MOSCH Presents alongside a pioneer of the UKG scene in Matt Jam Lamont. Wookie and CC83 also join in to ensure that all bass heavy styles are covered.
On Saturday February 5th, Marco Carola returns to the scene of his legendary last set on New Year’s eve for his Music On label’s birthday party. Expect plenty of big, rolling techno from the Neapolitan titan as well as more guests to be announced.
The Space Opening Fiesta is always a memorable night in the calendar. This year it happens on Saturday 12th February and again all the stops will be pulled out to make sure it goes down with plenty of the seminal club’s Ibiza colour, spirit and hedonism. So far house legend (and one half of Deepdish) Sharam will lead the dance with Sir Norman Jay… with more to be announced next week
A week after on Saturday 19th February, Desolat label boss Loco Dice is back at the club for Seran Bendecidos and another of his chunky crossover sets where house and techno meet in perfect harmony, welcoming high-energy Manchester trio Mason Collective to play alongside him. Studio 338 regulars Sankeys will also return for an Opening Rave that is sure to blow the roof off. Kicking off proceedings is VIVa Music boss Steve Lawler, while playing each week will be fast rising residents and deep digging DJs Andrew Kay, who has recently released a 12″ with close friend of the club Darius Syrossian, and Hypoxia, who have a release scheduled on Marco Resssman’s Upon You Records in February.

On the new song, the band shared: “A lot of people are going through some tough times right now and the song talks about the importance of having someone or something to turn to when life gets really hard. For a lot of our fans and for us, it’s been music. Its power to heal, comfort, and be a lifeline has never been greater and more needed than now.
We wanted the music video to convey the same symbolic message: that music could be ‘The Antidote,’ the one thing that makes everyone feel less alone and brings us together. It was an amazing experience working with our friend and director Jensen Noen to try and tell that story and we’re really proud of the result. We hope our fans enjoy it too.”
“We wrote and recorded the song before the pandemic hit,” say the four guys in the band about the first single, “and in lots of ways it has become even more relevant after everything that happened over the last 20 months. A lot of people are going through some tough times right now and the song talks about the importance of having someone or something to turn to when life gets really hard. For a lot of our fans and for us, it’s been music. Its power to heal, comfort and be a lifeline has never been greater and more needed than now”.

Since 2016 Bad Moon have been building up an impressive presence for themselves across the release of two EPs, extensive touring across Australia, including headline shows and tour support for Buckcherry and Hardcore Superstar. In August 2020, the band released a cheeky cover of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy which attracted 95K plus streams, while in 2021 they released 5 consecutive singles, known collectively as ‘The Heart From The Hollow’ series. ‘Light Leaves The Day’ is the fifth and final installment in the series.
The band are currently working on their new album due out this year.
PRAISE FOR BAD MOON BORN
“A punch-you-in-the-face belter delivering mean, meaty riffs, eerie layers of synth production and a melancholy monster of a chorus.”
Music Feeds
“Light Leaves The Day’ is a grainy, gritty alternative rock-folk ballad whose searching and honest lyrics create an emotional bedrock that energises the song.”
Scenestr
“Sydney’s Bad Moon Born has returned with a slamming new tune, and it’s called Fallout.”
Hysteria Mag
“Waves unleashes a storm of brisk, sharp modern metal juxtaposed with graceful melody and infectious vocal hooks that warrants repeat listens.”
The Rockpit
“Damn is it good. With touches of a BMTH sound, ‘Fallout’ shows that this new direction is a perfect fit for Bad Moon Born.”
Recurrent Verse
“The tune is a powerful modern heavy rock ballad that pulls you in immediately and has a chorus that will inevitably leave the listener with goosebumps.”
Maniacs
“Bad Moon Born left me wanting to hear more and chomping at the bit to see them live again soon. If you haven’t seen these guys live, please do it!!”
Wall Of Sound
“They’re a hard-hitting, tight trousered, thunderingly heavy and mightily loud quintet with obvious experience and charisma, and a swag of excellent songs.”
100 Percent Rock
Good Call Live ‘Light Leaves The Day’ is released on Wednesday, January 12th, 2022
