Ahead of their second European/UK tour in support of their recent album Three Lens Approach, screensaver from Melbourne, Australia release a new single, Division via Poison City Records (AUS). Division is a seamless blend of synth punk and post punk that oscillates from minimalist groove to maximalist onslaught with a dash of harmonic minor allure making for a transportive journey, without sacrificing its immediacy. Fierce synths, thumping bass and a spiky guitar line punctuating throughout makes Division 3-minutes of tightly wound energy. Recorded and mixed by long-time collaborator Julian Cue and mastered by Casey Rice.
The band is bringing this chaotic energy to Australia this July for a co-headline tour alongside New York label mates Macseal. The run kicks off at The Brightside on July 17 and winds through Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne, Belgrave, and Adelaide, before concluding at Lynotts Lounge in Perth on July 25. Tickets are available now via Destroy All Lines, and Hotwire Trip Switch is streaming everywhere via Counter Intuitive Records/Civilians.
Born in a dorm room and named after a Melbourne Cup winner, the project is a sonic speedrun through egg punk and post-ironic sincerity. Their songs are short, silly, and deceptively sharp—resembling children’s music written by chain-smokers obsessed with climate collapse. With a "demo-is-the-final-mix" philosophy and influences ranging from Devo to Tee Vee Repairmann, media puzzle builds songs like a backyard cubby house made of found materials: it’s scrappy, impulsive, and somehow holds together perfectly.
There new record ‘New Racehorse’ is out tomorrow and they will be playing their record release show at Lismore’s Blah Bar on 17th April from 7pm with support from Turp, Fever and Lipstick on a Pig, Tickets are $20 pre/$25 door
smallways. formed in 2023 and have quickly become Sydney’s most chaotic punk art duo. Combining drums, 5-string bass, and dual vocals, they craft a tense, hook-heavy hybrid of punk, hip-hop, and noise, swinging from melodic to distorted, landing somewhere between Viagra Boys, The Pixies, Talking Heads, SQUID, B-52s, The Garden, Amyl & The Sniffers, and Beastie Boys, they’re familiar yet entirely their own.
Following the confrontational questioning of ‘KNOW WHERE?’, smallways. return with their second single, ‘WHAT I’M DOIN’’, a far more volatile and unfiltered escalation Out on April 17th
After almost ten years, the American art-rock band return to perform the fractured, industrial soundscape of David Lynch’s midnight masterpiece, accompanied by footage from the film with support from Loscil (CAN) & amby downs (AUS) at Borderlands, Dark Mofo this June
Eraserhead Xiu Xiu" is a 2025–2026 live audio-visual performance where experimental band Xiu Xiu reinterprets the score of David Lynch's 1977 film. Touring internationally, the show features Jamie Stewart and Angela Seo using field recordings, homemade instruments, and modular synths to create a dark, industrial, and emotional soundscape accompanying the film
Sydney’s Mega Fäuna return this month with softmore, a record that feels both expansive and intimate. Built on layered harmonies, cinematic textures and a distinctly Australiana indie sensibility, the five-piece — featuring members of The Buoys, Sweetie and Wiles — have quietly carved out a sound that’s dreamy, emotionally rich, and unmistakably their own
Interview with Airline — Our second EP is coming together nicely. Titled ‘koi’ it’s set to release in March alongside a release show, and we are all pretty proud of it, some tracks are old, some are brand new. It follows a pretty consistent theme throughout but doesn’t demand understanding. It is far lessintentional than our previous work, a lot of it has fallen into place by chance. Its heaviest moments are far heavier than we have really gone before, and its softer moments are some of our most stripped back sections to date. Super keen for everyone to hear it. The release show is at the Oxford Art Factory on 26 March 2026. We’ve sorted a huge lineup of our friends and inspirations to support us. Juno Eclipse, Creeping Jenny, Gush, and Twelve Point Buck. It’s going to be such a sick night, we wanted a lineup that we would go to see, even if we weren’t playing. For the rest of 2026, we have a few exciting things in the works that we will talk about closer to the time. For now, get a ticket and come to OAF.
Lunar Lagoon are an alt-electronic group based in Naarm/Melbourne, stemming from the solo works of frontman Joe Nurrish. Now as a collaborative project between Joe Nurrish & Luke Morton, Lunar Lagoon’s live band features members from Heir Traffic, Polly & The Pockets, Everyday Believer + more.
Taking influence from Mount Kimble, King Krule, The Streets, The Style Council + more, the group’s angular & rich sound, paired with the moody introspective lyrics of Nurrish, encapsulates the spaces between, the feeling of darkness coinciding with the light, and explores themes of nostalgia & the unknown.
Shallowater invite easy comparisons: a band whose self-coined “dirtgaze” sound seems to splice together slowcore’s downcast sway, country’s introspective grit, and the dynamic sprawl of post-rock. It’s the kind of music that tempts shorthand—imagine [’90s slowcore touchstone] crossed with [folksy singer-songwriter icon], arranged with [choose your preferred shimmering or serrated guitar architecture]. But such framing raises an inevitable question: is Shallowater simply stitching familiar influences into a new configuration, or does their work transcend the sum of its references? Skeptics may well ask, Didn’t Lift to Experience gesture toward this territory already? Isn’t Wednesday exploring something adjacent right now?
Black Dahlia is no stranger to transformation. The experimental musician and performance artist has built a reputation for inhabiting strange personas—half myth, half mirror—who blur the line between theatre, sound, and surreal performance. Her latest creation, The Imposter (out today via her own imprint, School of Dahlia), may be her boldest yet: a theatrical concept record that unfolds like a cosmic fever dream.
