The Killers Return With New Single "boy"

Las Vegas indie rock band The Killers have returned with their new single “boy”.

The song, produced by the Killers, Stuart Price, and Shawn Everett is out now via Island Records. Get your copy here.

Frontman Brandon Flowers explains: “This was the first song written after we had to cancel the ‘Imploding The Mirage’ tour due to the pandemic. I had recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi, where I grew up. I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn’t stop returning to. I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. With ‘boy’, I want to reach out and tell myself – and my sons – to not overthink it. And to look for the “white arrows” in their lives. For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage.”

Dream Dali Reveal New Single "Wicked Sunday"

Brisbane dark wave/psych band Dream Dali have revealed their new single "Wicked Sunday".

Known for their uniquely artistic live performances, Dream Dali's music is paired with white lighting, set to a backdrop of visuals from Dada films and black and white surrealist imagery from the 1930s, creating a truly mesmerising musical experience.

This new track further bolsters Dream Dali's mission to immerse listeners in their conceptual multi-sensory surrealist world of cinematic alt-dance-rock. 'Wicked Sunday' is abuzz with crunchy synths, a drama-filled dance-rock drum beat, and satisfying electric guitar atmospheres that are unashamedly 80s. The icing on the top of this cosmic cake is the song's evocative lyrics, delivered in lead singer Aldous Emerson's signature dreamy style.

Alluring and hypnotic, this is a superbly catchy tune that will have listeners dancing and shaking it all off. It's a dance-inducing triumph over heavy feelings and disappointment, as Emerson explains:

"Wicked Sunday is written about those times when you wake to a huge weight of the day. Exploring depression and trying to build yourself back up when you feel people have let you down."

Bad//Dreems Drop New Single/Video "Mansfield 6.0"

Aussie indie rock band Bad//Dreems have dropped the video for their new single "Mansfield 6.0".

The song, recorded in February 2022 with producer Dan Luscombe (The Drones, Courtney Barnett, Amyl and the Sniffers), is out now via Farmer And The Owl/BMG. Get it here.

The band explains: “At 9:15 a.m. AEST on the 22nd of September 2021, an earthquake measuring 6.0 was recorded in the town of Mansfield, Victoria and felt in Melbourne and around the state. At the same time, a mob of 2000 men wearing hi-visibility workwear and shouting anti-vaccination slogans marched through the streets of Melbourne, vandalising cars and clashing with police. They gathered on the West Gate Bridge, where they sang and drank. This song was written at that strange time.”
