Telenova unveil their biggest tour yet with the Time Is A Flower International Tour. The tour comes alongside the announcement of their debut album ‘Time Is A Flower’ (out August 16th) and the release of brand new single, ‘Power’.A vast international journey, The Time Is A Flower tour will see Telenova perform in venues across Australia, New Zealand, UK and Europe.Taking their distinct brand of cinematic alt-pop to the dance floor, ‘Power’ is sleek, evolved disco with a shadowy twist, weaving themes of love, fear, and the pursuit of light into a lush, ornate track full of suspense and drive.With influences ranging from Portishead and Massive Attack to Lana Del Rey and Mitski, the band creates a sonic landscape that is both familiar and refreshingly unique. The Time Is A Flower Tour marks Telenova’s first headline shows since their regional tour of Australia in the heart of 2023’s winter.

KING STINGRAY weren’t joking when they told the whole nation to “get me out of the city” on their debut album. Everyone’s favourite Yolngu surf rock band have just announced a regional run of gigs this July/August, taking in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, the ACT and the NT. After dominating Australian airwaves ever since they busted out of Arnhem Land with hits like Milkumana, KING STINGRAY have been busy writing album number two. This tour is the perfect chance for them to road test some new material, including their most recent single Through The Trees. “Let’s not waste anymore time” indeed!The tour starts in regional Victoria, with gigs in Castlemaine, Frankston and then hopefully someone can lend the boys a few wetties and boards before the show in Torquay. NSW fans get Byron, Coffs, Newy and Wollongong gigs and there’s even a visit to the nation’s capital, which asks the big question - will self-professed super fan Albo come and catch the set?? Albo, your name’s on the door, don’t be shy! Queenslanders get a couple of shows in the Gold Coast and Maroochydore, and tour ends up right back where it all started, with KING STINGRAY playing a FREE hometown show headlining Arnhem Land’s most awesome music festival, East Arnhem Live.

There is a question at the heart of Faith Crisis Pt 1, the third album from Sydney’s emotive indie trio Middle Kids. Over 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy attempts to tease out the question of belief; the breaking of it, and how it is rebuilt. Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher.Featuring a collaboration with Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le’aupepe, Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things. Middle Kids‘ last album Today We’re The Greatest won Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, ‘Edge Of Town’ and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many more.
