What a bloody week. Same sex marriage is officially LAW! And, it’s Meredith weekend! If you like being in the middle of nowhere with warm beer, no showers and little to no phone reception, festivals are for you. I saw…

Oasis – Some Might Say
Right, I know there’s probably already 5 plus Oasis songs in the Friday Beats back catalogue already but this week it’s with good reason. A straight up plug. Liam G released his debut solo album last month and it’s great. Today,…
Ocean Colour Scene – The Day We Caught The Train
WHATTA WEEK! Australia voted, in the majority for Equality, The Socceroos qualified for next year’s World Cup and Tonight I’m going to see one of my FAVOURITE bands from my teenage years. Ocean Colour Scene were, in my eyes, the…
Private Idaho – B’52s
The B’52s are just awesome. So much fun but so, so much hiding below the surface of this Pop juggernaut. You’re probably familiar with ‘Love Shack’ or even ‘Rock Lobster’ but take the time to dig a little deeper and…
DMAs – Dawning

Noel Gallagher – Holy Mountain
Hot on the heels of Liam Gallagher’s new album release is brother Noel’s big, new single. Equal parts Roxy Music’s ‘Let’s Stick Together’, 60s Doo Wop and Ricky Martin’s ‘She Bangs’ it marks a very new direction for the former…
Stop Draggin’ my Heart Around – Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty
We lost ANOTHER Rock’n’Roll icon this week. This time, Tom Petty. The waif, flaxen-haired embodiment of classic, guitar-toting Americana passed away Tuesday at the age of 66. I always really liked Tom Petty and was sad to hear of his untimely…
Harry Styles – The Chain (Fleetwood Mac)
Hunky, former One Direction dreamboat, Harry Edward Styles is certainly proving there’s life after being in the world’s biggest Pop group. With the release of his debut solo album, along with his Australian Tour selling out in MINUTES, we’re now…
