GYROSCOPE Announce Special Guests For “My Broken Spine” Tour
ARIA charting Aussie rock legends Gyroscope are hitting the road next month, celebrating their latest single “My Broken Spine”. Heading up venues across the country, the beloved band will be sharing the stage with special guests in each city.
Famed for their ferocious shows, fans will experience new tracks and old favourites in live form at Melbourne’s Night Cat, Crowbar in Sydney and Brisbane, Perth’s Rosemount Hotel and performing at Caltowie Chilled Out ‘n’ Fired Up Festival in South Australia.
Frontman Dan Sanders said “Looking forward to hitting the road again and seeing the various legends we’ve got joining us for the shows. Purple Disturbance are creating a racket around the country, so it’s awesome to have them on board for the East Coast shows, plus Spacerhead doing both WA shows. Can’t wait!”
Coffs Harbour’s very own Alt rockers Purple Disturbance will be the main support in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, while Perth’s post-punk trio Spacerhead will be shredding it up at both the Margaret River and Perth shows.
Openers who will be jumping on stage include Raging Hormones in Melbourne, Happy Valley in Brisbane, Binsad in Sydney and Ten Cent Tiger in Perth.
Forming out of their hometown scene of Perth in 1997, Gyroscope have cemented themselves as a cornerstone of Australian rock, with four acclaimed albums under their belt. Much-loved for their charting anthems like “Baby, I’m Getting Better”, ”Snakeskin,” and debuting at #1 with albums like Breed Obsession, the four-piece have made their mark across the ARIA charts, earning them nominations and Gold certifications. Gyroscope have graced famous festival stages including Big Day Out and Groovin the Moo, sharing the bill with world-renowned acts like Oasis, Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters and more.

Listening Now : Teni Rane – Places
With Places, Teni Rane opens the door to her upcoming album with a radiant ode to movement, love, and fearless devotion. Rooted in earthy indie-folk textures, the track carries a windswept warmth—acoustic strums, open-air melodies, and a vocal delivery that feels both grounded and untethered. Lyrically, it’s a celebration of choosing joy and finding belonging in shared motion, not fixed destinations.
There’s something beautifully unrestrained here: a wild-hearted promise to keep running forward. Places feels less like a song and more like a horizon you can’t wait to chase.

Listening Now : UKE.NADA – Sun Will Rise (UKE.NADA Remix)
UKE.NADA delivers 102 seconds of lyrical wisdom on an acoustic-hop sonic canvas with Sun Will Rise. Built around warm ukulele strums and a laid-back beat, the track feels intimate yet quietly empowering. Reflective bars carry a message of resilience and steady optimism, offering light without overselling hope.
It’s minimal, heartfelt, and refreshingly sincere—music that breathes. In just over a minute and a half, Sun Will Rise proves that sometimes the simplest arrangements carry the deepest reassurance.

Listening Now : Terell Safadi – PUSH IT
Terell Safadi returns with PUSH IT, a high-energy motivational anthem built for grind mode. Riding a punchy, bass-driven beat, Safadi delivers sharp bars that channel focus, discipline, and relentless drive. The hook hits with gym-ready urgency, making it an easy addition to any workout playlist, but beyond the surface hype lies a message about perseverance and self-belief. Confident, polished, and forward-moving, PUSH IT captures Safadi’s rising momentum—music designed not just to soundtrack the hustle, but to fuel it.

GAEREA Announce 2026 Australian Tour ‘Loss’
GAEREA is one of the rare bands where the boundaries between life and art not merely intertwine but forge a totality that you not only hear on record but one that also plays out in the band’s explosive live performance. Swathed entirely in black with their distinct sigil occupying the space where their faces should be, there’s both a totality and anonymity that’s transcendent and binding when the fivesome takes stage; a distinct, hermetic code that connects all aspects of the band from the musical to the spiritual.
This July, the beautiful enigma rooted in musical extremity and utter passion that is GAEREA, navigate their way to Australia for the very first time. We beckon you to come forth and witness the onstage rapture and sonic spirituality firsthand.

STUFF I MISSED FROM 2025(Part 2)Here’s another album from 2025 that probably deserved top ten status:SEEDY JEEZUS: DAMNED TO THE DEPTHS
This is another one I learned about by perusing The Obelisk’s top albums lists. I’ve become such a Tony Reed fan and was a bit embarrassed that I had not heard of this project, but so grateful to have found it now. This is an Australian band which had worked with Tony before, and he has now become an official member of the band. I frequently think of Pink Floyd when listening to this album, and I think it’s because of the clarity of the sound and the quality of the songwriting. Here are two of my favorites; see what you think:The whole album is great, and rates a ten out of ten in my book.Seedy Jeezus are:
