Interview: Steve Lacy looking ahead to Laneway Festival 2024 + reflecting on 'Gemini Rights'.

"Insane line-up - I am sooooo excited, love you Laneway Festival," announced Steve Lacy via his Instagram last month, upon everyone's favourite Australasian music festival revealing their forthcoming 2024 edition.

Nganeko returns with new single 'Down Bad Patrol'.

Nganeko returns with her new single, 'Down Bad Patrol' - created with the writing/production duo Parks and B. Haru. 

On the track, she shares: “The song is about me defining the difference between clarity and desperation, or the expectation for clarity, with people I love. It’s about recognising the process for what it is, which for me was the process of learning HOW to love someone whilst taking care of yourself.'

Paramore announce 'Re: This Is Why' album.

After much teasing via their official Discord channel, Paramore have today announced 'Re: This Is Why' - which the band describes as "almost a remix album".

They said today: "We’ve long wanted to recognize the connection we have with some of the artists who’ve influenced us as a band and/or who have cited our band as an influence. Re: This Is Why is almost a remix album. Some of the songs have been remixed sort of classically, while others were reworked or rewritten. It’s incredible to hear all our worlds colliding. Out 10/6."
