Spring is here and so are some pretty rad releases for our listening pleasure.

The Lost Valentinos release their much anticipated debut effort, Cities of Gold, throwing our way their danceable indie-good tunes.

Formerly from the Sunshine Coast, The Scare are putting us under a spell with their second release oozevoodoo which is co-produced by Daniel Johns of Silverchair fame and features more of their thrashing, chaotic addictive mess of musical mayhem.

Noah and The Whale are back with their album aptly titled First Day of Spring full of beautiful tunes to get you through the early weeks of this beautiful season.
