Tracks are nice and everything, but albums are where it’s at. These are all the long-players I’ve caught across the month by Australian emerging, independent, and DIY artists.

“Modus Fire play majestic alt-rock but take it to another level by adding the sort of horn section you’d normally expect from a ska band. It ends up in a place of Al Capone punk, a place you’d never expect to end up in, but one you’re bloody glad you did.” Gallery Listen

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
