Hailing from Sydney, DMA’s consists of three lads who have certainly made an impact in the industry with their distinctive Britpop sound. They are about to make an even bigger impact in 2018 with the release of their second album, ‘For Now’. The lads made an impact on the industry back in 2014 with the success of their debut single Delete from their debut self-titled EP—continuing their success with an album in 2016 titled ‘Hills End’. Vocalist and frontman Tommy O’Dell’s early influences of Oa

On Sunday night, Brisbane was in for a treat with Welsh band Stereophonics ripping up the stage for the second time at The Tivoli on their 2018 ‘Scream Above The Sounds’ tour. Halcyon Drive was the first to take the stage—an up-and-coming alt-rock band from Melbourne. They’ve released two EPs to date, their debut effort, 2014’s ‘Cruel Kids’, and 2016’s EP ‘Untethered’.

Finally, former Oasis frontman, Liam Gallagher, the lad from Manchester, has redeemed himself after what some would say was a failure with his band Beady Eye formed back in 2009. He has come back with one hell of a cracker in 2017 with his new solo album, ‘As You Were’. From the moment I heard the first notes of Wall of Glass, I knew this album was going to be epic—with its strong raw vocals from Liam, wicked guitar riffs and piercing harmonica. This album makes you reminisce back to the days o

On Friday night, Eatons Hill Hotel was treated to a plethora of punk music with performances from Columbus, Hellion and You Me at Six. The venue is reminiscent of Brisbane’s small, intimate music venue, the Tivoli Theatre. The crowd waited in anticipation for the show to begin as everyone milled around the stage. The first band on the bill was local lads Columbus opening with the song Summer Dress from their album, ‘Spring Forever’. A bit of a catchy tune but just not catchy enough for this cro
