album announcement

Skindred are back, and they're not easing in gently. The Newport genre-smashers have unleashed “You Got This”, the blistering title track from their upcoming ninth album, landing 17 April via Earache Records. It arrives armed with a riotous new video and all the ragga-metal energy that has made Skindred one of the most uplifting and unpredictable heavy bands of the past two decades.

David Gray's first Australian show of the 2025 tour, at Perth's Riverside Theatre, felt like a homecoming and a new chapter rolled into one, when local star Gordi, Ella More, joined him on stage for a stirring performance of Plus & Minus. The collaboration, taken from Gray's most recent record, Dear Life, crystallised a theme that ran through the night, emotional truth, the power of company, and the way a song can change when another voice walks into it.

Australian indie favourites Boy & Bear have returned with a luminous new single and video, “Tripping Over Time,” released today, alongside the announcement of their upcoming sixth studio album of the same name. The album, out Friday December 12, marks another milestone for the band - their second completely independent release - and will be launched in spectacular fashion at their biggest headline show to date on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Saturday December 14.
