- 01 2014-RELEASES · BEST-OF Burgo’s Top Tunes of 2014 So it’s Saturday, 3 January 2015 today, and I’ve just realised that 2014 was the first year since 2008 that I didn’t post a “best of the year” post. That kind of talks to how much I get to write on this blog these days… JAN · 03 · 2015 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 02 2014-RELEASES HOWQUA – Fishing for Gold It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, I know. But I had to come back out of this hiatus to talk very quickly about Melbourne-based artist, HOWQUA. NOV · 08 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 03 2014-RELEASES Calan Mai – We’ve Got Love Stick through the first 30 seconds of this tune from Gold Coaster Calan Mai, aka Jordan Lawrence… it’s from that first chorus when the song really kicks into gear. You’ll dig it. JUL · 07 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 04 2014-RELEASES Julian Velard – If You Don’t Like It, You Can Leave It’s been 6 years since I last wrote about Julian Velard on this blog (bizarrely, that blog post was added as an “official citation” on Velard’s Wikipedia page by someone shortly after the post was published, and was on… JUL · 05 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 05 2014-RELEASES Bear’s Den – Elysium Really digging this single from Bear’s Den, “Elysium“. Bear’s Den have put out two solid EPs in the last couple of years (Agape in particular was a big favourite around these parts), and are working on releasing their d… JUN · 29 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 06 2014-RELEASES Strand of Oaks – Shut In Heal from Strand of Oaks was released just 2 days ago, and it is all sorts of amazing. Showalter has always been revealing on past releases, but Heal is on a whole other level – you read the guy like he’s a book through… JUN · 26 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 07 2014-RELEASES The Lake Poets – Windowsill You know, I could have sworn that I had written about The Lake Poets (aka, Martin Longstaff) on this blog before. But after searching, it seems I haven’t. Even stranger, I see this new track, “Windowsills”, is off his d… JUN · 25 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 08 2014-RELEASES Donovan Woods – It Just Got Weird It’s been four years since I last wrote about Donovan Woods on this blog, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been spinning his stuff. Just a couple of weeks ago, he dropped this pearler of a tune, “It Just Got Weird”, on h… MAY · 10 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 09 2014-RELEASES MT – Dear One It was a sad day for the local Brisbane music scene when Yves Klein Blue broke up, not least of which because the break up was compounded by the fact that frontman, Michael Tomlinson, left Aussie shores and headed to Lo… MAY · 09 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 10 2014-RELEASES MisterWives – Reflections So when I first heard this tune from MisterWives, I wasn’t all that sure. But at the 45 second mark, as that first chorus kicks in… man, this is one lovable track. Just undeniable, happy pop goodness. MAY · 04 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 11 2014-RELEASES James Bay – Running I only discovered James Bay about two months ago (thanks to this absolutely wonderful cover of Haim’s “Forever”), but in that two months, I’ve been spinning pretty much everything the guy puts out. MAY · 02 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 12 2014-RELEASES Raury – God’s Whisper So this kid, Raury, is 17. And I’m telling you, from everything I’ve heard so far, the kid is just a natural, tidal wave force of music. APR · 30 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 13 2014-RELEASES FAIRCHILD – Burning Feet It’s been about two years since I last wrote about FAIRCHILD, and in that time the band has gone through a few changes – not only have they dumped the “Republic” part of their name, but their sound has also grown in lea… APR · 15 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 14 2014-RELEASES Woods – Leaves Like Glass This has been a crappy, crappy day. So this sparkler of a tune from Woods is just what I needed right now. “Leaves Like Glass” is from their upcoming album, “With Light And With Love”, out April 15th on Woodsist Records.

- 15 2014-RELEASES The War On Drugs – Red Eyes Tell you what, The War on Drugs just keep getting better and better with each album, don’t they? “Red Eyes”, a cracking tune, comes from a cracking album, “Lost in the Dream”, which just dropped last week. MAR · 25 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 16 2014-RELEASES Creekwood – Late Night Mr Right There’s a lot of potential here from the Creekwood boys – still a fairly new band (they only released their debut EP in September 2013), I’ll be keeping my eye on them for the future. MAR · 23 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 17 2014-RELEASES Twin Forks – Cross My Mind This is kind of a whole bunch of cool. Chris Carrabba has jumped around a lot since his Dashboard Confessional days, but he’s never quite managed to get out of that pigeon hole. But with recent release from his new outf… MAR · 22 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 18 2013-RELEASES · 2014-RELEASES The National Parks – Ghosts This is why I write this blog. This song. This band. MAR · 21 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 19 2014-RELEASES Nickel Creek – Destination Um. New Nickel Creek, new Nickel Creek! Dudes, it’s been 6 years apart, and that’s far too long for my liking. Glad we got to our destination though. MAR · 20 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
- 20 2014-RELEASES St. Paul and the Broken Bones – Call Me Dudes, I have a new hero of cool, and it is the dude from St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Effortless. MAR · 13 · 2014 NO COMMENTS READ →
