⚡️ NEW RELEASE & ALBUM ANNOUNCE ⚡️
Cry Club are proud to announce their third full-length album 'High Voltage Anxiety' will be released on March 27, 2026. Their brand new single, ‘Retaliate’, is out now and is a sonically ferocious slice of electro-punk described by vocalist Heather Riley as “a torch-and-pitchfork party soundtrack”.
A critique of the cost of living crisis and wealth disparity (‘Nothing’s a risk if you’re rich!’), ‘Retaliate’s relentless energy is fuelled by a passion for the cause and a disdain for those in power who refuse to make it right.
With their upcoming album High Voltage Anxiety being their first self-recorded, self-produced, and self-engineered record, Heather and Jonathon were able to take their time with it, and “navigate what it means to hold onto hope in a clenched fist.”

Described by The Admired vocalist Bianca Davino as “the spark that really kicked off our direction for The Admired”, the Sydney duo's final single for 2025, ‘Fame&Money’, is out now.
Written from the perspective of a complex but larger-than-life main character, ‘Fame&Money’ delves into passion, ambition, and the ups and downs of chasing the spotlight. Both thematically and musically, ‘Fame&Money’ feels right at home with The Admired’s recent singles, drawing inspiration from core 2000s emo influences like Motion City Soundtrack and The Starting Line.
To close out 2025, The Admired are set to open for GRXCE tomorrow night in Sydney, playing at The Vanguard. Final tickets are on sale now.

Currently in the middle of a three-stop tour in Asia, Melbourne singer-songwriter MADI LEEDS has shared her brand new single ‘Nightmare’. This is one for fans of Slow Pulp, Snail Mail, and Soccer Mommy, as Madi swaps out the pop sheen of her previous releases for an unapologetic indie edge.
The track was produced by David Quested, aka Local the Neighbour, in his attic studio in Melbourne. It was mixed by Simon Dobson (Rum Jungle), and mastered by Bennett Littlejohn (Hovvdy).
With plans for hometown live shows upon her return and more music to follow in 2026, the new chapter of MADI LEEDS is just beginning.

The Velvet Club have returned with their brand new single ‘Anything’, accompanied by B-side track ‘It Will Never Be Enough’ - the first new music since 2024’s acclaimed Space Between EP, and the first taste of the band’s indie-nostalgia influenced next chapter.
Nodding to the classic formula of 2000s indie releases, and as a way to let listeners further into the band’s creative process, The Velvet Club are set to release B-side tracks alongside each single over the coming year. ‘It Will Never Be Enough’ fuses Strokes-esque jangle and vocal distortion with The Velvet Club’s signature understated, yet undeniably catchy, approach to melody, and is the first track the band have released that was performed, produced, and mixed by frontman AJ Tilyard himself.
Tonight, The Velvet Club will be performing a sold out show at a secret location in celebration of 'Anything', and as a thank you to the fans and tight knit community they’re building around the band.

A creative feat eleven months in the making, Adelaide artist @losleomusic brand new album LL-1000 is out now.
“This project started as a creative experiment,” he reflects. “I wanted to see what would happen if I built an album completely from scratch within a single year. No recycled ideas, no safety net, just momentum.”
For LOS LEO, the music was just one part of the vision. As a creative project, he leaned into multiple art mediums, from creating his artwork using a 2000s handheld scanner, to filming and editing social media content inspired by worldbuilders like Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino to document the journey.
Having given himself the creative outlet to explore different artforms, his relationship to music and self, and reflect on how he moves through the world, LOS LEO hopes listeners will do the same. “This record isn’t designed to tell you how to feel, it’s supposed to give you space to question how you feel.”

Forever Ends Here have returned with their introspective yet future-focused EP I’m Still Trying To Find Myself.
While their rich history as one of the country’s most loved pop punk bands of the 2010s remains an important part of their story together, Luke, Kane, and Maverick are ready to turn the page on a new chapter with this record. “It’s a nostalgic homage to the 15 year old kids that started this band 14 years ago, but more importantly a declaration of where we’re heading,” says frontman Luke McChesney.
The record was written between Sydney and LA, and was produced by Craig Wilkinson (RedHook), mixed by James Paul Wisner (Paramore / Stand Atlantic), and mastered by Grant Berry (Waterparks / All Time Low / PVRIS).
