Having teased us already with some great new singles, Perth misfit Peter Bibby has shared another new cut/video “Terracotta Brick”.

It has a more subdued tone and serves as a heartfelt musical journey and tribute to a sincere labourer, reinforcing Bibby’s standing as a voice for the Australian working class.

Bibby explains: “I came up with this little ditty while I was working as a brickie’s labourer. I took a direct quote or two from the boss, he was full of great lines. He was also full of piss on a regular basis, and it got me thinking about the connection between the building industry and flat out, celebrated alcoholism”.

All released songs would be a part of his forthcoming LP Drama King (set for release on May 31 through Spinning Top Records), which was produced by first-time collaborator Dan Luscombe (The Drones, Amyl and the Sniffers).

Creating a nostalgic atmosphere of the foggy past is something that shoegaze newcomers Adele Dazeem are quite good at, judging by their outstanding new single “Meridian Water”.

They follow up on the greatness of their first two offerings, with another dose of gothic and dreamy shoegaze rock music for our listening pleasure. Produced by legendary Rory Atwell, the song works like a portal to another dimension — a swirling vortex of sound that engulfs you entirely.

Produced by Seadna McPhail (The Orielles, Everything Everything) at Airtight Studios in South Manchester, the newest release from The Accident Group, titled “Go Away (Please Come Back)”, presents a delightfully infectious mix of DIY guitar-pop with a rocking, rebellious twist.

Crafted with a healthy dose of humour, melodrama and maximalist delivery, it is a relatable tale of love lost and remorse. The song is impactful, dynamic, and displays moments of genuine vulnerability and honesty. Great stuff.

Manchester’s Adam Hopper & The Wimps returned with the new tune “Like Dancers Do” along with the news of them signing to cult Sheffield-based indie label Bingo Records (The Bug Club, Melin Melyn, Wesley Gonzalez).

The single is a beautiful love song with charming lyrics, delivered with earnestness and sincerity that create a sense of intimacy and authenticity. It is out now digitally and will also be released on a limited edition sea glass transparent almost-green 7″ vinyl, backed with another track titled “Robin Hood’s Bay”.

Back in February Lambrini Girls released an angry noise punk ripper “God’s Country”, and now they are following it up with another smasher, “Body of Mine”. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox, it is a song that touches on the theme of gender identity.

Speaking on the track, the group explained: “This song is about trying to connect to your gender identity, feeling like you’re not fully yourself, and struggling to figure out how to truly become it. Gender is a complex experience, we acknowledge that this song represents just one perspective among many, of not knowing where you fit inside it all. It’s tough to feel that nobody really gets you and it’s also truly quite shit when you don’t really know how to understand yourself either”.
