Some artists chase genre. Netanya seems more interested in chasing feeling. Pulling from future house, hard dance, hyperpop, R&B and emotionally charged electronic pop, the project exists in this constantly shifting space where vulnerability and intensity collide head-on. Underneath the distorted basslines, euphoric drops and club-ready energy is something much more personal: music built around emotional extremes, connection, chaos and release. Rather than locking into one so

Some artists spend years trying to perfect a polished identity before releasing anything into the world. Myslie feels like the opposite of that. Built from isolation, experimentation, emotional obsession and an almost stubborn commitment to authenticity, the project exists somewhere between video game world-building, diary entries, karaoke confessionals and self-taught sonic exploration. What began as a necessity for a passion project slowly evolved into something much larger

There’s something refreshing about Jenny X’s approach to rock music. In a time where so much feels polished, curated and carefully calculated, The Right Side embraces the rough edges instead, emotionally, lyrically and sonically. Built around angular guitars, raw performances and deeply human songwriting, the Gloucester, Massachusetts band manage to capture something increasingly rare: honesty without pretension. The track wrestles with change, self-reflection and the uncomfo

There’s a certain kind of honesty that only appears when an artist strips everything back to the core of the song itself. For Los Angeles artist Kamran Feiz, Strings Live marks a bold departure from the safety of distortion, volume and traditional rock arrangements, replacing them with something far more exposed: orchestral space, silence, tension and emotion. Centered around the powerful track City of Stone, the project feels cinematic without losing its humanity, balancing

Some artists write songs. Others seem to build entire emotional landscapes around them. Ziric The Wanderer sits somewhere in that rare space where music feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a wandering world built from memory, curiosity, humour and quiet reflection. Blending folk foundations with drifting indie textures, bossa nova influences and deeply human storytelling, the Los Angeles-based project feels both deeply personal and strangely universal at the

We caught up with GALE at a moment where everything feels like it’s quietly coming into focus. With her debut project Songs from The Chaos Room, she leans into a style of songwriting that doesn’t try to escape the noise of everyday life, but instead finds meaning within it. Blending soft, intimate production with raw, reflective storytelling, her music sits in that space between overwhelm and clarity, not offering answers, but creating room to feel things as they are. Her lat

Reel Boy isn’t waiting around for the perfect moment, he’s building one in real time. With a new track landing every month, his approach cuts straight through the overthinking that holds most artists back, favouring instinct and momentum over polish for the sake of it. That energy carries into Adults Are Talking, where fuzzed-out textures and sharp melodic instincts collide in a way that feels both nostalgic and immediate, pulling you into something that’s constantly on the e

Fierce Invalids don’t ease their way into the conversation — they crash straight through it. The California trio’s latest single n ew bu s ine ss, lifted from their upcoming debut album of the same name, feels like a warning siren for modern life: corrupt systems, emotional static, and the strange beauty that can still emerge through chaos. Equal parts abrasive and cinematic, the track blends punishing riffs, warped grooves, dissonant textures and flashes of unexpected elegan

There’s something immediate and restless about Faisal Ryan’s latest track — a song that lives in the space between late-night reflection and full-volume release. Sparked by a moment of quiet observation at Howard Smith Wharves and shaped on a train ride through Brisbane after a gig, it captures that uneasy divide between perception and reality, where people either play the part or get caught in it. Drawing subtle influence from Pavement and channeling the unpredictable energy

Mainard Larkin’s upcoming album Rattlesnake Boy tells the story of a down-on-his-luck pro wrestler trying to find purpose outside the ring, but beneath the character and concept sits a much more human story about identity, heartbreak, and reinvention. The latest single ‘Empty Street’ shifts the focus from the wrestling narrative to something more universal — the quiet aftermath of a relationship ending and the strange feeling of having to rebuild life from scratch. Blending

If nostalgia was weaponised and fired through a Game Boy, you’d get Anti Lag, a genre-defying disruptor blending breakneck rap bars with pixelated chiptune chaos. From live sets that summon airborne shoes (and occasionally prosthetic limbs) to calculator solos and festival-level freakouts, Anti Lag is equal parts arcade glitch and glitchcore grit. With a string of upcoming singles, a background in indie game scoring, and a cult-like crowd ritual that’s one broken toe away fro

Stepping into the world of ItsRosieQuartz feels like floating through a haze of soft pink silk—equal parts romantic daydream and raw reflection. With songs that shimmer in dreamy textures yet hit with emotional truth, Rosie crafts music that dances between the ethereal and the all-too-real. Whether she’s sharing openhearted lyricism or pairing pastel visuals with biting humour, there’s always something sincere—and a little cinematic—at the core of her artistry. We sat down wi

There’s something timeless about the way Nate Michael writes songs, raw enough to sting, but honest enough to heal. His upcoming EP, Self Portraits of a John Doe (out October 24), is a haunting mix of grunge grit and folk storytelling, each track painting fragments of the human condition with both tenderness and tension. Raised in Warrnambool, Victoria, Nate’s music feels steeped in small-town weather — resilient, windswept, and quietly defiant. Across songs like Grunge Coun
