TX2 has unveiled Murder Scene, the latest single from his forthcoming debut album End Of Us, due for release on February 13 via Hopeless Records.

US based guitarist and composer Marisa Anderson will return to Australia in February for her first solo tour, bringing a body of work that has steadily positioned her as one of the most distinctive guitar voices of her generation. The tour runs from February 24 to February 28 and follows Anderson's acclaimed 2022 visit for Melbourne's Rising Festival, where she performed alongside Dirty Three drummer Jim White.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jake Banfield is officially arriving in Australia this week, bringing with him a fresh summer anthem and a genre-defying sound that has quickly captured international attention.

Hawaiian singer-songwriter Thunderstorm Artis will return to Australia in March 2026, bringing his deeply personal live show to a carefully curated run of intimate venues across Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT and Queensland.
