The Underground Stage
The Terrys tickled the fancies of the most playlisters this week, with their new track ‘No Bad Days’ getting spots on nearly half the lists I track. Most Playlisted This Week 🥇The Terrys 🥈Molly Millington 🥉Dear Seattle, Gut Health, Mitch Santiago, Thelma Plum Molly Millington did particularly well too, with tracks from the excellent ‘5 […]
“The last shining piece of their EP’s puzzle, ‘She’ll Be Right’ slots neatly into a collection of blazingly bright tracks. Mischievous and wide-eyed, the mood might be giddy as all hell, but the wit and songwriting is sharp enough to slash your throat right open 🔪”
“Like the other tracks on Blake Cateris’ EP, this track is crammed with almost more thoughts than he can fit into his precisely-phrased syllables. Bulging with ideas throughout, its jaunty strut is well-paired with deep contemplation, a troubadour for nomads and thinkers 🤔”
“Sparsely mad, with a bass part that rolls up and down the walls like the blobs in a lava lamp, ‘Me & My Denial’ is taken from Molly Millington’s excellent ‘5 Stages’ EP. All the tracks contain glorious surprises in the melodies, but none make you quite as deliriously happy as the high notes in this chorus. Madcap, wonky, and brilliant 🙃”
“Great Job! are furious at the intolerance of the world on this rallying call to power through the stupid and to find our own identities and lives regardless. It could easily have been a rant, but instead it’s poetic and optimistic, a sparkly wee thing made of rare charm and love 🥰”
“A wild beast of a track from Jon Ann, this is raw and primal energy, crashing through the doors and the walls to get at its prey. It rumbles and it roars, coupling scything claws with sheer brute force to overwhelm and, ultimately, overcome 👹”
“Starkly alone onstage for most of this show tonight, Isabella Manfredi highlights, dramatically, just how many full bands couldn’t touch the power of this set even if you gave them a ten-foot pole and a ladder. Her eyeball-melter of a voice merges and melds into those warm-blanket keys, and these songs – recent, Preatures-era, and […]
“With just a smattering of skill, anyone can sing and play guitar at the same time. Mylee Grace though manages a much rarer thing, allowing either voice or instrument to shine, or to make one complement the other. Nothing is drowned out, and these rich songs soar the higher for it.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers blow into Sydney and from the off it’s impossible to figure out where their joy ends and ours begins. Holy cow, this is a show to be at – we scream, we dance, we agree with every damn thing they say from start to finish. If they ever want to […]
