Without
Cult Of Indigo are an alternative pop-rock group of 20-somethings from all corners of Sydney. With musical foundations built on classic rock- their individual pop, post-modern and punk influences join forces to create something for everyone. Reminiscent of earlier influences such as The Cranberries, Hole, and Pixies yet also fitting perfectly into the current wave of rock revival along with WAAX, Tired Lion, Cry Club, The Buoys & Maggie Lindemann. The new single ‘Without’ details the blossoming of love in sweet melodies, juxtaposed by good old grungy guitars, driving bass riffs and killer drums. If you want to feel like you’re the main character in a 90s teen romcom, you’ve come to the right band.
Up All Night
Pent Up! is an alternative Rock band from Seattle, United States. "Up All Night" Stands as their 4th studio release, and the first featuring the addition of guitarist Nick Kurtz. This song was recorded in the middle of the summer heat in an un-air conditioned studio with the band playing live - no click tracks, just pure energy... and a lot of sweat. No blood. Possibly a tear or two, but we couldn't be sure thru all that sweat.
Old Days
"Old Days" is the latest single from the gloriously unfashionable rock band Hole Tripper and it was recently released on Friday 18 August 2023. This song has a few departures from their previous material but retaining a definitively Hole Tripper sound. The addition of Zen Master Alan Watts’ voice-over split the room initially, but it fits like a glove in the final take both sonically and in relevance of the material itself. The song is about being sick of looking backwards, getting into a fight with death, punching it in the face and then powering on. The old days are gone but that doesn’t mean that you need to get stuck in a negativity vortex and can’t punch your way out of it – whether that approach works or not will be a recurrent theme in future releases.

The track reflects the purest essence of a garage rock sound, seamlessly blending different genres ranging from punk rock and post-punk to indie rock and 90’s grunge.

Tibbits' lyricism offers an authentic window into these internal struggles, resonating with fellow artists and music enthusiasts who have encountered similar obstacles. At the heart of the single lies Tibbits' transformation as an artist. Departing from his folk origins, the track embraces an alternative/indie rock soundscape that signals his growth and willingness to step outside his comfort zone.
