Harlequin League – ‘All Your Wars Are Won’ (mp3)

Cup your ears to this tasty offering from stalwarts of Perth indie-rock cum synth-punk Harlequin League. ‘All Your Wars Are Won’ is the first single to come from their latest EP ‘I Don’t Do Friends.’  It’s a slightly down pace successor to its ram-it-down-your-throat, full-body-flip-out ancestors, which nonetheless brews the same tempestuous vocal intensity and fits comfortably under the catchy eclectic pop umbrella.

Venture out to see Harlequin League in their party pants as they co-headline the New Hunting Grounds Tour this month.

Lady Of The Sunshine – ‘White Rose Parade’ (mp3)

Angus Stone (Julia’s brother) has started his own side project to fill time in between Angus and Julia Stone albums named Lady of The Sunshine. I’m a big fan of the duo so I was keen to listen to this track for any hint of any new material from the sibling group, but it would be misleading to take this as an indication of their future compositions. White Rose Parade features the very familiar Angus voice, over plugged in blues-ish guitar that doesn’t overpower his narrative.  It’s a different vibe to what I’m used to, but a good start and I look forward to hearing more.
