Georgia June – Winter

“This track marks a shift for Georgia June from band to solo artist, but it’s not a break from that history. Instead, this builds on the reserves of pop that always existed, creating something that goes in new directions, but stays as lush and glorious as ever 🔄”

Salt Money @ HiWay, 15th Jan

“Salt Money’s roaring screamo blisters the paint off the walls as well as causing multiple guitar casualties along the way. This is a primal, honest, searing noise, both powered by and communicating things deeply felt, right down in the marrow of the bones.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram

Mowgli @ HiWay, 15th Jan

“The first language I think of for this Mowgli set is theatrical – it’s intricately plotted, it moves in scenes and acts, and it requires thought to keep up with. As it goes on though I think in more meteorological terms, giant squalls of howl and noise, epic thunderbolts and electric forks giving way to […]

The Shadow Ministers @ HiWay, 14th Jan

“The Shadow Ministers blow in like a rough south-westerly tonight from Adelaide, and make it instantly clear that they understand the two cardinal rules of rock n’ roll: don’t overthink it, but don’t *ever* undercook it. Not one note here is anything other than crystal-clear, 12-bar, British-invasion classic – but not one note isn’t screaming, […]

El Coyote @ HiWay, 14th Jan

“El Coyote are built on a blues foundation, the furiously stomping sort, where terrible pain is expressed through the tone of a six-string soul in torment. What they bring to it though is a rough-edged, wild-eyed, Doors-y sensibility, which makes it completely bloody filthy. Only two gigs in, but as stiff as the last drink […]

Ego Trip @ HiWay, 14th Jan

“Debuts usually delight me, but Ego Trip’s first songs fired in anger are a particular kind of pleasing. That this project has been well thought through is a fact almost as loud as the songs – most new bands show up half-baked, half-formed, and half-cut, but the precision here is notable in its excess.
