Mid Drift

Good At Avoiding

Bursting with sun-soaked melodies and woozy guitar licks, indie-rock sweethearts Mid Drift have swiftly captured hearts all across Australia. Between major support slots alongside Aussie crowd favourites Ocean Alley, Old Mervs, and DICE and appearances at renowned Australian festivals such as Laneway and Rolling Sets Festival, the female-fronted 5-piece show no signs of slowing down having released their sophomore EP in February 2026.

That EP is 'Good At Avoiding': five tracks that pull the Mid Drift formula tighter than ever. Frontwoman Sarah Engstrom leans into the messy in-between of growing up — situationships, brain fog, the gap between who you were and who you're becoming — and the band wraps it all in jangly guitars, tight drumming and the kind of summery, festival-ready hooks that have already turned them into one of the country's most reliable live acts. 'Whiplash' spirals out of its breakdown into the band's most satisfying anthem yet; 'Madness' turns frustration into pop catharsis. The whole thing plays like a band who know exactly what they're doing, and are clearly having a great time doing it.

Media Puzzle

New Racehorse

Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore’s nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally).

Over the last 3 years, Media Puzzle have churned out 3 scuzzy post-punk albums and 2 blisteringly short, and fun EPs. “Residing somewhere between Suicide’s dark melodies, and Uranium Clubs remote eccentricities".

Having carved out a space between drum machine-riddled egg-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, their newest record is a departure from previous efforts, and it seems, a maturing…

After a year of DIY recording and touring, Media Puzzle grace the track with their 4th (and still somewhat speedy) album, “New Racehorse”. Ditching the previous drum machine-focused, egg-punk fashion.. This fourth album is the most collaborative yet, mixing oddball pop and garage punk.

Surf Trash

No Chaser

Eighteen months on from the runaway success of 'The Only Place I Know', Lake Macquarie's Surf Trash are back, and they're not watering it down. Their sophomore album 'No Chaser' lands neat, on the rocks, no apologies: ten tracks of melodic surf-pop-punk hammered out by a band that has clearly spent the last year sharpening every edge.

It's a record you can hear the kilometres in. Between 'The Only Place I Know' and now, Andrew Scott, Lachlan Jackson, Patrick Russell and Nick Scott have torn through a sold-out national run, criss-crossed the UK and Europe, and made a habit of leaving rooms louder than they found them. 'No Chaser' carries the dust from all of it — bigger choruses, leaner production, a touch more bruise underneath the gloss. There's still that windows-down, salt-on-the-windscreen feel that made the debut impossible to ignore, but it's wired into songs that swing harder and cut deeper. Less wistful afternoon, more last-light drive home with the volume creeping up.

The four-piece make melodic surf-pop-punk that sounds great turned up loud — driving in your mate's car on the way back to the beach. Their debut, The Fire Note wrote, "delivers a dynamic debut… blending raw energy, introspective depth, and timeless indie rock flair." Manchester World called their first show on UK soil "epic… high energy and great song after great song," and the live reputation has only grown since: a band that's earned every inch of the ceiling it now hits.

'No Chaser' is the sound of them no longer waiting for permission. Singalong harmonies, fast tempo changes, good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with a sense of urgency.

Conway Savage

Too Dark To See: Solo & Collaborative Recordings 1992–2010

Conway Savage remains one of the most singular figures in Australian music. A pianist, songwriter and vocalist whose presence in Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds from 1990 to 2017 helped define the emotional and sonic language of the band across three decades. Born in country Victoria and shaped by the lived-in textures of pubs, regional life and late-night performance, Savage brought a distinctly human, ragged lyricism to everything he touched. Nick Cave would later describe him as “the anarchic thread that ran through the band’s live performances,” while the Bad Seeds’ collective tribute captured the breadth of his character: “irascible, funny, terrifying, sentimental, warm-hearted… honest, genuine… [with] the gift of a golden voice, high and sweet and drenched in soul.” In both his collaborative work and solo recordings, Savage stood apart as an artist who balanced fragility and defiance, and an unmistakable voice in Australia’s cultural landscape.

The Conway Savage 'Too Dark To See' anthology gathers together recordings that trace this remarkable arc: from the intimate and elegiac to the wry, unguarded and quietly transcendent. From 1993 onwards Savage released acclaimed solo work that privileged atmosphere, storytelling and emotional truth over polish, and exhibited a lo-fi haunted quality, with sparse songs echoing with country, blues and folk.

This first-ever anthology of his music, named after his song ‘Too Dark To See’ from his 1993 debut EP, collects together 24 tracks, including many rarities. Early selections such as ‘Fair and Tender Ladies,’ ‘1000 Days’ and ‘You Did As You Were Told To Do’ show his gift for reinterpreting folk tradition through a distinctly Antipodean lens, while songs like ‘Trail of Broken Hearts’ and ‘I Trust You Had a Good Time’ introduce the bittersweet, observational writing that would become a hallmark of his solo work.

Tracks such as ‘The Cross, Old Soul With A New Hole’, ‘Tanist and These Are The Waves’, capture Savage at his most expansive, moving between spiritual reflection and sardonic wit, often anchored by piano-led arrangements that mirror his Bad Seeds contributions.

The latter half of the anthology deepens this portrait, drawing on material that reveals Savage’s enduring preoccupation with mortality, memory and fleeting connection. ‘Nothing Broken’, ‘Only Ghosts’ and ‘Just One of Those Things’ echo the title of his 2000 debut album while reaffirming his fascination with impermanence and resilience, themes that resonate even more poignantly in retrospect. The closing run of tracks - from ‘Saint Of Shitty Little Rooms’ through to ‘Crumbling World and Tonight’- offers a final, unvarnished statement: songs that feel lived-in, humane and unsentimental, yet quietly devastating in their emotional clarity.

The anthology is not simply a retrospective but a carefully assembled narrative. It's one that honours Conway Savage not only as a member of The Bad Seeds, but as a deeply influential songwriter whose work continues to ripple through Australia’s musical and cultural identity.

It came about as a result of fellow former Bad Seed and Conway collaborator Mick Harvey approaching Impressed Recordings on behalf of Conway’s family, enquiring if the label would be interested in creating a record that would honour Conway’s legacy. It's an honour to be able to do so.

Pressed on heavyweight double lilac vinyl, and with this first pressing limited to only 200 copies, each numbered with Impressed's signature obi strip, it's beautifully packaged anthology for Conway's many admirers and Bad Seeds collectors.

Sherelle

With A Vengeance

Made across 2024 between London and Amsterdam, 'WITH A VENGEANCE' (or WAV for short) is the sound of uptempo catharsis, of SHERELLE making sense of a turbulent and difficult moment in time in her personal life. Determined to write one track a day, the studio became a safe space for SHERELLE to channel anger and feelings of betrayal, her hard and fast club tracks turning darkness into the cerebral joy of overcoming adversity. From those intense daily writing sessions has emerged a sharp, finely-crafted 10-track LP that is powered by fierce feminine energy and reflects the hard/soft and light/dark dualities of the dancefloor and life itself.

'WITH A VENGEANCE' is also a rally cry for the 160 scene, designed to push the tempo in new, exciting and as yet undiscovered directions. Inspired by SHERELLE’s foundational influences such as Kode9, Scratch DVA, Machinedrum, Lone and SBTRKT as well as the soundsystem-shaking groove of grime’s R&G sub genre, the album is designed to change perceptions of what 160 can be. But don’t get it twisted: this isn’t a concept album. WAV is for the dancefloor, delivering shades of London, New York, Detroit and Chicago in ways that are guaranteed to raise gun finger salutes.
