Deep Sea Arcade – ‘Don’t Be Sorry'(mp3)

One of the more exciting new bands to come out of Sydney in the past couple of years, Deep Sea Arcade is blessed with the very captivating frontman in Nic McKenzie, who genuinely loses himself in every song they play. Don’t Be Sorry is the current single they’re touring now, but the live shows indicate there’s a lot more to come from this Sydney five piece. One to put on your watchlist.

Winter People – ‘My Town’ (mp3)

With Arcade Fire in between albums, there are no shortage of local bands wanting to fill the gap for multi-instrumental multi-vocal indie-folk, and Surry Hills’ Winter People fit that description well. Out of the five tracks from their The Dog Years, ‘My Town’ resonates with me the most. I’ve yet to see them live, but if you’d like to join me, they’ll be playing whothehell.net’s own Blogger’s Delight on Friday 25th September at MUM @ World bar. Entry is FREE if you rsvp to the invite. And you can get an invite by joining our mailing list.

Comic Sans – Thom Moore (mp3)

So lately I’ve been on a bit of quest to blog on some great young Australian talent. It started with Last Dinosaurs, followed by Howl (Triple J Unearthed High winners for 2009), then Ships Piano and now the fourth instalment of my quest – Comic Sans!

Comic Sans are four 18 year old young men from Brisbane who create a sort of frantic garage punk that makes you want to loose your shit and crawl around a scummy club in the deep heart of the city.

The band have been doing their thing in Brisbane for a little while now and have supported acts like Young & Restless, Mercy Arms, Die! Die! Die! and a host of more. They will also be releasing their debut EP, ‘Digital Natives’ in late September so be sure to pick up a copy!

Gotye – ‘Learnalilgivinanlovin” (Passion Pit remix)(mp3)

Gotye remixed by 2009 breakthrough stars Passion Pit courtesy of their US label Neon Gold. Had to say I was expecting a little bit more than what came through, but the original was so good I guess there’s not much that can be done. The prospect of further collaboration is very exciting indeed.
