Also, not only the way we interact has changed but also many relationships have altered, were reborn, or have finally found their overdue end over the past two years. Is it all bad? Is it call good? Definitely neit...

Their intention is to give a voice to people that are often unheard in global debates about climate change - the inhabitants of island nations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The approach Chen  and Cole  used here differs from the typical cinematic presentation of the impact of climate change on people's lives. Instead, the artists started a multi-channel way to display the cultural heritage which is at stake when we do not stop the sea levels from rising. Therefore, Cole  and Chen  have filmed more than a hundred musicians performing over sixteen island nations. Recordings by musicians from Rapa...

Well, some people actually manage to make profit out of this. Alongside capitalists who benefit from the misery, it is conspiracy theorists who experience the blossom of their weird ideas of NWO, reptiloids, adenochrome, or other BS. Nevertheless, these are not easy. And being locked down, keeping distance to our loved ones, and other effects of the pandemic truly suck. The latest single 'Patience' by Sydney's Avresa is a call to everyone to keep patient, because this damn virus is still vey active.  Jeremy Binger  also concerns hasty openings, such as the Australian gouvernment enforced them, as well as the impatience that is omnipresent among people who want to go back to normal life. Driven by an atmospheric Post Punk riff, Avresa's ...

And then there are those even more special occasions when you immediately realize that this mistake is going to happen again. The lastest single 'I bet' by Bare Beets deals with this exact phenomenon. Bare Beets, by the way, are a real family band like Berlin's Die Scholtys . Bare Beets · I Bet On the selftitled debut EP which was released earlier this year, Bare Beets joyfully mixed Rock, Pop, and Electronica. The latest single though goes in a slightly different direction (although the opening contains strong Dream Pop vibes). Inspired by the Foo Fighters, the Australian band has hereby created a moving Alternative Rock anthem that embraces the Millenium era Post Grunge sound. Boppy, dynamic, and yet gloomy the atmo...

Picture Credit: Red Revel   Red Revel - 808 Airfreight Release Date: July 09, 2021 Length: 03:53 Genre: Indie Funk / Blues Rock Origin: Sydney , Australia Travelling through airports has a very special thing to it. In one of his books, Douglas Adams  wrote that nobody has ever said how beautiful they found an airport. But there is more to it. Airports are amongst the greatest places if you seek for anonymity. In this artificial world where everyone only seeks to depart from, human interaction takes place on a unique level. One time Red Revel were at Sydney airport, they had some shots of tequila before their plane took off. The result of this is their new single "808 Airfreight" which by the way is the band's first single released under Fogwood Records . "808 Airfreight" is a light-footed fusion of Funk, Jazz, Blues, and Rock. The verses, dynamic like a beehive, lead into an atmospheric sax-driven bridge which then explodes in a featherweight of a colourful and...
