No, not "Lemmy", that's Motörhead. "Lemony". It's like a fresh lemon tart with powdered sugar sprinkled generously on top. Coming from T. G. Shand, formerly of station standouts Miniatures, but now a solo songwriting powerhouse, it's another impressive chapter in a fresh and surprising sonic evolution. The first new single since February's "The Ease", it's got so many engaging elements competing for your ear, and it's all sonic sugar. Guitar […]
A lot of folks were brokenhearted about the dissolution of the brilliant Australian band Miniatures. We would know, we were top of that list. By all accounts the breakup was amicable, geographic changes were the primary factor in the collapse of Miniatures following the release of their critically-acclaimed Jessamines LP on Saint Marie Records last year. So it was with more than a little excitement we got opportunity to preview […]
When there's so much new music to promote that we can't even keep our dates straight? That's a helluva month. And we're topping last week already (but we'll keep dates accurate this time). Airiel and Miniatures headline. Both albums dropping soon, surely you've preordered by now? But we've also been granted a few choice cuts from The Morelings debut LP, dropping next week. If we haven't gotten you excited about […]
Can you hear me now? How about now? If you can hear this broadcast, congratulations! You're one of the lucky ones. We're caught in the middle of an epic legal battle between two multibillion-dollar music companies fighting over Taylor Swift royalties, though we have quite little to do with either of them, and wouldn't put their music on air if you paid us to. But, long story short, much of […]
Twas the weekend before DreamGaze, and all through the studio... sorry, /tangent. New Tracks Weekend THIS weekend revolves around headliners Miniatures, whose first single from the LP Jessamines is finally on our air. We'll keep you posted on the release as it draws near. Plus, we'll get you the preview of the spectacular Bloody Knives LP, I Will Cut Your Heart Out For This, due next week on Saint Marie […]
What began as a simple idea of a few shoegaze and dream pop bands coming together to do a tribute to The Cure (shortly after Robert Smith's birthday, no less) evolved as a premise. What had been a tribute show in a small venue became a much more ambitious festival, showcasing the talents of the genre's best bands. Jack from Contrast originally pitched the idea to like-minded musicians, and now […]

We really can't fit it all in, whatever spills […]
