Sonic Reducer – SQUEEZE
Canberra punks Sonic Reducer are back with SQUEEZE, a tightly wound EP that captures the mess and momentum of youth. Alongside the release, they’ve dropped a new video for “BEND” and announced the next leg of their DIY party series, with shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra this month.
Pete Murray – “Home to Me”
Pete Murray shares “Home to Me”, a warm, acoustic-led track written during a trip to Nashville. It arrives in the middle of his massive 56-date national acoustic tour, with support from Rachael Fahim and Brett Wood.
