Stylish from the outside, deeply revealing and honest underneath this, recognisable in voice both through the tone and the very sentiments of the writing – I Don’t Need stands out well.

Brisbane family-act Bare Beets offer up a bass-heavy, organic yet colourful arrangement and catchy songwriting as their brand new single I Bet hits the scene.
Featuring lyrical optimism and vocal brightness, the single introduces The Steadies as unconfined by genre – led by a distinct passion for music in all of its forms.
Colourful as ever and still quickly recognisable in their paired vocal tones and the retro pop-rock nature of their writing.
You’re on a journey, listening, but also weaving in your own memories and sense of nostalgia, of longing for the carefree days and considering the painful ache of regret all at once.
Crisp and clean guitar work guides us into a riff-strong and partly acoustic alt-rock anthem from emotive songwriter David Brookings, as the melodically seductive and poignant Hard Times pours through.
Loaded with imagery that initially feels like something clever to hide behind, the song ultimately reverts back to a revealing search for self.
The mind wanders entirely, each journey likely unique to each listener; a powerful trait that only music of intention can truly promise.
An ever-expressive and thoughtful Amadante releases perhaps his most immersive and beautiful single yet with the faultlessly crafted, heartfelt and catchy Waken Dreams.
Indie rock anthems rich with warm bass, intimate vocals and hypnotic lyrics – the Walking Dolls EP offers a catchy playlist of immersive, emotive and stylish originals.
The writing is top notch, and the classic, organic and humble arrangement helps draw focus to that; making you appreciate the purpose and honesty of the song all the more so.
“Living like this keeps me ill” resounds as a near-falsetto peak, right before the fall back to acoustic softness, and it kicks in for this placement – it lingers, it engages, it’s memorable.
