The Underground Stage
It’s not been the busiest twelve months release-wise for Sydney’s fabulous four-piece The Buoys, but that still hasn’t stopped them adding audience and solidifying critic support. In fact, there’s a bunch of reasons why they’re in a strong position to take it to another level this year. Let’s look at the release schedule first. In […]
“For The Buoys, a new year means looking back to old heartbreaks, raw emotion wrapped inside Snow Patrol-sized song. It’s tear-streaked but still explosive, and – hopefully – is both a statement and a promise for the year ahead 🥹”
There were some absolutely stunning shows on Sydney’s stages across November, with Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers‘ standout show (and this month’s cover) topping the pile. It was quite the pile to top too, with amazing performances elsewhere across the month from the likes of Isabella Manfredi and Radio Free Alice, as well as […]
“With impeccable swagger, The Buoys’ latest has as many moments of easy confidence as it does gleeful wigout. In either mode of wild-haired frenzy or controlled and glossy pop, The Buoys once again prove they have few equals 💅”
Phoebe Go is on the cover of this month’s fanzine edition, and this issue also features brilliant live shows from Cry Club, Rat Public, Brixton Alley, Dedpan, and tons more. There’s also the usual reviews of the very best new music from DIY, independent, and emerging Australian artists, including The Buoys, THE RIOT, Bad//Dreems, Body […]

The Buoys crank the generator for their latest, an insistent slice of fizz and energy, all wiry, urgent, and lean. Dead on three minutes long, not a scrap of energy is wasted here – there’s all the urgency and tempo you love but none of the superfluous flourishes you don’t. You’ll be digging out of […]
The Buoys – aka the best band in Australia right now – write with a joy and a freedom verging on the manic. While on 2018’s Arm Wrestle they knocked on the front door with an airy swagger, with this latest they crash in through the windows to spend one hundred and nine seconds gleefully […]
