NEW MUSIC
The latest acts on SM are both Mornington Peninsula locals and both have listed their independent debut albums. Check out samples from JR's rootsy Wintergreen and the feel-good In The Beginning by earthed on the MP3 page.
Two Up is a new compilation of some of Melbourne's finest indie acts, featuring SM's own Liminal and Dom Italiano amongst others. With two tracks from each artist, it's a great way to get a taste of Melbourne's diverse indie music scene.
The latest album from Jimi Hocking is Blue Mandolin, and as the name suggests, Jimi has temporarily put down his electric guitars and picked up the mandolin, with amazing results. Download the opening track Yank It Up from the MP3 page for a free sample of Jimi's mando-stylin's.
Foot stomping, acoustic blues from Tom Richardson with his debut EP Follow Me - download a couple of free tracks from the EP here.
The brand new EP from the Nurnberger boys has landed too, and it's a feast of punk, ska and reggae - check out Here We Go Again.
Some great indie rock from Hotel Diablo - check the free MP3 downloads from their latest EP and album.
Kinematic's latest album The 38th Parallel is indie pop at it's finest, and is currently on sale, along with their t-shirts, so grab a bargain!
SA lad Nick Burns has delivered an album of wailing guitar and growling hard rock grooves. Check out some samples of Music & Drinking on the MP3 page.
Mal Clarke has a new CD/tablature book out for anyone keen on fingerstyle guitar playing. The package is designed for all levels of skill, and is pretty darn good - we've even learnt a couple of numbers ourselves!
The latest from Odessa is the Call Me album and sees the band move into some serious groove territory - visit the MP3 page to grab a couple of free tracks.
