You get Carbon Airways. I first heard Carbon Airways when I got an email from their label, Bad Life, about the release of their Razor Edge EP. I was completely enthralled by the French teenage brother [...]]]> http://www.froglix.com/artist/carbon-airways-atomic-is-in-my-mind/feed 0 http://www.froglix.com/news/small-city-calling-hold-me-closer http://www.froglix.com/news/small-city-calling-hold-me-closer#comments Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:50:08 +0000 DMitch http://www.froglix.com/?p=10808 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; }Michael Weybret recut his short film “An Early Autumn’s Hope” into a music video for the song that helped inspire the story. Just so happens to be “Hold Me Closer” by Froglix favourite Small City Calling.

Where would the world be without the music coming from Down Under? Consider the cultural impact made by these bands and artists: AC/DC, Midnight Oil, INXS, The Vines, Hoodoo Gurus, The Church, Natalie Imbruglia, Nick Cave, Counting Crows and so so many others.

And today our tour of Australia takes us to Melbourne. We’ve covered goodbyemotel a couple of times on here already. And they continue to impress. Check out the video for “Graham Calender”. This was the first single released off their latest EP released [...]]]> http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-goodbyemotel/feed 0 http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-sounds-like-brisbane http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-sounds-like-brisbane#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:42:21 +0000 DMitch http://www.froglix.com/?p=10764 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; }Projects akin to Sounds Like Brisbane provide an invaluable service to the indie music lover. It gives an opportunity to check out a bunch of pre-vetted bands quickly and at no risk. Who wants to lay down hard cash on some obscure band you’ve never heard before? For me, a similar project in 2005 called [...]]]> http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-sounds-like-brisbane/feed 2 http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-circle http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-circle#comments Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:40:50 +0000 DMitch http://www.froglix.com/?p=10743 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; }One of my favourite new bands from anywhere right now happens to come from Sydney. So of course I was going to try and include Circle (check out my original review if you are so inclined) in Australia Week if I could. And they make it so easy. It seems they are releasing a “studio [...]]]> http://www.froglix.com/artist/australia-week-circle/feed 1
