Rum Jungle Take Us For A Chill Ride With Latest Single ‘Chauffeur’

Subdued and subtle, this latest effort from Australian four-piece Rum Jungle takes a slightly more chilled approach compared to some of their more recent releases such as ‘Did The Morning Let You Down.'

With a run time of just over three minutes, ‘Chauffeur’ features wavy lead and rhythm guitar parts, groovy, smooth baselines and snappy snare focused drums. The chorus is catchy, with a memorable melody and accompanying lead guitar riff, which is sure to get stuck in listeners’ head.

Abbie Ozard Releases Debut Album 'everything still worries me'

Abbie Ozard releases debut album 'everything still worries me' today via House Anxiety. It lands with a video for the introspective title-track.

The debut LP is at heart a celebration of friendships, family and relationships, all the while presenting an underlying sense of uncertainty, reflecting the unease of navigating life in your twenties. As Abbie says:

“‘everything still worries me’ is the title track from the album and encapsulates what every single track on this record is about. When I first started writing I wanted to get across so many points that I struggled putting everything into words and I had no idea what it was going to become, but after writing this song along with ‘the window’ and ‘how are you holding up’ everything just seemed to take shape.

Blossoms Unveil 'Perfect Me'

Blossoms have today revealed their brand-new single 'Perfect Me' and its accompanying video, directed by previous collaborator James Slater (Sam Fender, Jamie T, Yard Act) who directed Blossoms’ video for 'Your Girlfriend'.

Speaking about 'Perfect Me', Blossoms’ Tom Ogden says: "'Perfect Me' wasn’t done in the normal way we make songs. Normally I write the song at home and then bring it to the lads. We just made this one from nothing. We had a synth sequence and built it up from scratch in the studio. The spontaneity of it resulted in it having a lot of energy. It’s about this perfect being that doesn’t exist."

What’s In A Name? Punk’s Not Dead, and SOFT PLAY Waste No Time Reminding Us

It’s been something of a battleground for SOFT PLAY (previously known to day-one fans as punk rock duo Slaves) for the last year or two.

 Name changes are always tentative and sensitive grounds for any band, and for one with applause earned, albums bought, looped and revered, and intense loyalties forged over a twelve-year run, it’s something that always looks more likely to piss off the most ardent front-row fans than have them share in any artistic sentiments and moral principles. 

Isaac Holman (vocals and drums) and Laurie Vincent (guitar) had a lot of work to do when they announced in 2022 that they would be ditching the name Slaves due to shared discomforts over its obvious and serious historic connotations. Despite this sensible reasoning, the backlash was quite forthcoming, something the duo likely anticipated.
