LivewireAU Six Pack: The Aussie Soundtrack to your Emotional Ebb & Flow

Stay Between Us – Teenage Dads

Making a strong and awaited return to our regular rotation, Teenage Dads have just released the loved-up 'Stay Between Us', alongside the announcement of their forthcoming EP, My Memento. 'Stay Between Us' is a tender, heartfelt, and introspective release from the indie-rockers, delving into new emotional depth whilst still retaining the conversational lyrical charm that fans have come to know and love. 

Dormant Life – RAYHAB

With the release of her debut EP Residue, pop darling RAYHAB is ready to become your new favourite artist! Closing off this gorgeous EP is the ever-impactful ‘Dormant Life’, a tale of leaving behind your past life and the experiences that it granted you. With poetic lyricism that truly thrives in this narrative-driven dark pop song, RAYHAB provides the anthem for all journeys of rebirth and rediscovery.  

Cane Trash – People Mover

People Mover are serving us a modern taste of classic Australiana charm with their latest single, 'Cane Trash'. Inviting us along with the sonic equivalent of a hazy night at the local pub, People Mover’s ode to the sugarcane burn-off that lines the streets of Bundaberg cements the trio as ones to watch in 2025, with their debut album Cane Trash coming our way on the 12^th of September.

Strange Romance – Selve

Selve have served up yet another impeccable taste of their upcoming sophomore album, Breaking Into Heaven, with their latest single 'Strange Romance'! Described aptly as a "rave-rock" piece, 'Strange Romance' exemplifies the sonic fluidity of Selve, as they take us on an international adventure from Paris to Berlin to Venice, then across the intergalactic plane on a groovy, galactic journey. 

Crowd Scene – Hannah McKittrick 

Sometimes a song purely stops you in your tracks and calls for a moment of introspection and reflection. ‘Crowd scene’ by Hannah McKittrick does just this, as it comments on the true marvel of human connection and solidarity within its almost seven minutes of pure ambient soundscapes. A piece developed after McKittrick marched for a Free Palestine in Naarm, ‘Crowd scene’ speaks to the feelings of belonging in a crowd and the “eternal love” that spurs from togetherness, leaving a powerful impact on listeners.

Drawbacks – dust

A highly anticipated return from Newcastle post-punk group dust arrived our way in the form of ‘Drawbacks’ this past week, immediately capturing the attention of fans everywhere. Coming alongside the news of their debut album Sky Is Falling, out this October, ‘Drawbacks’ is a fond extension of the much loved sound from their debut EP, with a lyrical tale of isolating frustration that pairs effortlessly with the high energy and sonic nature of the groovy punk (plus saxophone) ensemble.
