Three New Indie Jams To Kickstart Your Weekend

THE RUIINS with It Is You

The Ruiins

It Is You is the second single release from Gold Coast duo The Ruiins. Striving on their ability to deliver hooky melodies, hypnotic riffs, and a fast-paced rhythmic muse, the single compliments their first release Eventually, adding a heartier beat infused with harmonic keyboards and melodic guitars.

The new single follows a story of love and love lost and invests in empowering vocals with a chorus that delivers an uplifting fulfilment underpinned by repetitive, driving drums.

The Ruiins will be hitting the road in the next week in support of their new single. Check out the dates below and read our interview with the band’s vocalist and drummer Adam Dooker HERE.

BAD PONY with Sideways

Bad Pony

Indie-rockers Bad Pony have unveiled their new high energy single Sideways. Filled with infectious hooks from start-to-finish, the track is fun and fey indie-pop cut that draws inspiration from bands such as Two Door Cinema Club and Phoenix.

The use of synthesisers in conjunction with the overall upbeat rock undertone embellishes the catchy melodic hooks throughout the song, topped off with some mighty fine smooth vocals. It’s impossible not to get down to this track!

Bad Pony have also announced the ‘Sideways Tour’ which is headed across the entirety of our great southern land, check out the dates below.

CANARY with Fickle Heart

Canarys

Melbourne quintet Canary have invited us to step a little further into their world with the release of their new single Fickle Heart. Taken from upcoming album ‘I Am Lion’, the song is a combination of grungy guitar, smooth vocals, and a loveable catchy, indie beat.

The driving guitar and crunching bass transitions smoothing link into a soft indie post chorus that’ll catch you off guard. The track is vibrant, groovy, and evocative, the perfect mix of infectious indie rock.

Canary’s sophomore album ’I Am Lion’ is scheduled for release on Friday 8th of July.
