'Shut You' Out by The Rions
A single released 19 March 2025.
Yes, more Aussies.
These guys are from The Northern Beaches, New South Wales - which is all those beaches going up from Manly to Palm Beach (yes, there's one there as well, only fortunately no lake).
I have been listening to this group on and off since their 'Minivan' EP come out in 2023 - check out Talking to Walls - and they are one of the groups that make me say I still think the best Indie and Indie Rock music comes from Australia.

'Burning Question' by The Fiends
Released 14 March 2025 as a single.
First time here for this group from Swensea in South Wales.
Their Spotify blurb calls them alt indie rock, which figures.
Great song.

'South Street 83' by Work Drugs
A single released on 7 March 2025.
This song is frankly different from their recent releases.
I understand that the beat is harking back to the 80's, and that's great. What is also great is that sax is back in the mix.
Interesting song.

'Still Dancing' by Billy Idle
Released as a single on 26 February 2025, from his upcoming album, "Dream Into It", as yet unreleased on Spotify.
Hard to believe: he's back!
And how.
Classic Idol, with the voice, the punch and that fantastic guitar work by Steve Stevens, yep, same guy who blow us all away with it on Rebel Yell way back in 1983.
This album is touted as his first in 11 years.
Only don't miss out on his really great single, Bitter Taste, released on 11 August 2021, and probably one of the best romantic rock songs in a long, long while.
'Streets' by The Collifowers
Single released 21 February 2025.
More Aussies.
This time by the Byron Bay/Northern Rivers band (North New South Wales to everyone else).
Liked 'Let Me Go' when it came out in November 2023.
Check them out, there's many more
