A comprehensive collection from Gold Coast sunshine rockers The Daisycutters bringing together the best of their EPs over the course of their career.

John Rowe is rarely considered highly enough in the pantheon of great Australian singer-songwriters, which is a shame.

With his album ‘Gifting The Proletariat’, John has crafted one of the finest collection of songs from beginning to end that you will hear in 2020.

The world slows, a dull silence descends, and the music of John Rowe takes on far greater significance.

The Australian singer-songwriter has always crafted his music with the literary approach of a storyteller. Deeply personal and always resounding with emotion, his stories explore all of life’s experiences through themes that are universal to all humans – life, love, and death.

It’s this cycle of life, with all the ebbs and flows it entails, that forms the creative drive behind his latest album ‘Gifting The Proletariat’, released in 2018. At a time when life itself seems to have faltered, if not halted, an album more than two years old seems more relevant than ever.

Trailblazing Brisbane hip hop crew Resin Dogs have won Best Hip Hop/Rap Song at the 2019 Queensland Music Awards for ‘Pack Your Bags’, taken from last year’s highly-acclaimed album ‘Notorious D.O.G.’.

‘Notorious D.O.G.’ was a much welcome return for Resin Dogs, with hit single ‘Pack Your Bags’ blasting a rich, soul-drenched brass groove and featuring the lyrical talents of long-time collaborator Abstract Rude.

The journey of multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Dimond has taken him from his hometown of Brisbane to Boston and the far reaches of India in pursuit of a beautiful musical union.

Commanding control of the six-string electric bass, trombone and tabla, Jonathan has brought together his foundations in Western classical and jazz with the intricate compositions of Northern Indian classical music.

It has been a path he has trod since first becoming enamoured with the rhythms and improvisational possibilities of Northern Indian classical music in the early ‘90s.
