Dropping Honey • More

Dropping Honey return to La La La's for the first time since 2021, to launch their forthcoming single 'Branches' which is being released on new label Silhouette Records. With characteristic twin guitar lines and vocal harmonies, they combine elements of shoegaze, post-punk and indie/alternative rock to create a sound that is dreamy, immersive and intense.

The Escarpment are a band that link urban disconnection, saltwater headspaces and twilight life affairs. They swell their sounds through the landscaped echoes of guitars, organ, bass and drums, coursing a new path well ridden but uniquely familiar. The Escarpment formed from fragments of punk rock ruins and features people from the Wollongong scene looking to forge a sound that's a little different. Drawing on an encyclopedia of home-grown influences and grittier influences from further afield, these guys have developed a sound that reflects the light and shadow of the environment they live in - somewhere between the mountains and the sea.

With new album 'Introducing the Silverbeats' (Farmer & The Owl/Silhouette Records) out in May, Tropical Strength centres around brothers Al & Russell (Shining Bird) who create aural pastiche collages and experimental #1 hits, haunted by the past, present and inner psyche. The current 6-piece live line-up has recently returned from Melbourne supporting Richie Weed on tour.
