BLOODLETTER (Meanjin/Naarm)
Last seen in live Naarm in 2018, Bloodletter is a band not to miss. Instead of adding to the mob mentality that can annihilate any subgenre by replicating exact sounds into minutiae until people stop buying records, the group craft an atmosphere that sits right between punk and post-punk. The guitars are thick and laden with incessant riffs. The bass and drums drive straight on through in tandem and the listener is not at want for a respite while the vocals fly into the ceiling of a huge cave, wailing in agony or shrieking in calculated anger.

DARK WATER
A diamond of hope in the gothic underworld of Naarm's DIY scene, all flock to the dreamy and shiny tunes of Dark Water. As a group, the rhythmic and danceable songs both entrance and inspire a common nostalgia from those lucky enough to hear. A sound becoming cult favourite already, and well sought after for those yet to become exposed.

SCREENSAVER
Screensaver's energy rides upon a sense of the times that is both sardonic, and cheeky. Prepare yourself to live in the instant. It is hard not to respond to Screensaver's catchy and powerful new tone for fans of synth-punk.

DELIVERY
Yes, they deliver! Fresh to the Naarm scene Delivery bring about a raw approach to their postpunk that is a breath of rocking life and brings us back to what is essential in DIY. Balancing the wire between sing-along chaos and wit-driven urgency, Delivery are at once, a playful and powerful group not to miss!
