That Adelaide Band

Adelaide Band song reviews. Some of these songs have been out for a while but deserve to be talked about and applauded. Most music I hear coming out of South Australia is high quality, skillful and entertaining. Sometimes long-ass reviews are not warranted, just listen to the music. Thought I'd trial a song review section for That Adelaide Band and bring to your attention music that you may like! Get behind Adelaide bands. now is the time, they need your support more than ever.  Molly Rocket – ASPHALT When Georgie sings ‘I haven’t felt this good in years’, we believe her! This single Molly Rocket put out a while back still stands the test of time and with it’s fuzzy guitar brilliance it’s going to be around for a while yet – Forever I’m predicting! Now I’m here – Lily Appelt A cruisy, gentle tune that hints of some Grizzly Bear really provides a wonderful, melodic feel that will reel you in from start to finish. Stars that hold us – Tonix Sammi Keogh knows how to sing – L...

It's probably be easier to send you this link -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kestie_Morassi  when describing this Adelaide, born and bred legend as she's one of Australia's best actors and creatives! But when she's not lighting up the silver screen and teaching her craft, Kestie is 'Hermen', her musical project and a damn fine one at that! Creative's always have the ability to bounce through disciplines and Kestie is no exception. She has released some singles on streaming platforms that possess a dark, brooding underbelly(funny that she was on that series!). Fun fact, Kestie and I went to school together, so recently after she released her latest track 'The Story' I immediately bailed her up and swung the top 5 by her.. Check it out!  1.       Hermen! Thanks for catching up for a chat & an insight into your musical world! What struck me the most about Hermen was the dark, electronic undertones in your sounds. Kinda reminds me of Massive Att...

  Rosie and the Posies are a new Adelaide band playing regularly in the scene and they came to my attention performing alongside other prominent Adelaide bands and have also released two debut songs 'Love in Autumn' and 'Feline Supreme'. I caught up with the band recently to see where they're currently at!  Firstly, I really like the singles you’ve released ‘Feline Supreme’ and ‘Love in Autumn’,  they remind me of music that came from the Sub Pop Label,  namely the label that had bands like Nirvana, Sleater-Kinney and TAD.  When you started writing was your intention to move into that grunge-rock genre? Simply put, it's just the genre that works best for all of us.  Not only do we like grungey music, but it's also the most fun for us to play on stage.  I've written a lot of softer song, jazzier songs, and stuff with that kind of vibe. The punky grungy sound is what we love to play and make the most.  Usually we just play around and discover some c...

 'Livatthegig' (Olivia) is really breaking through at the moment interviewing some of the biggest stars in music and she has a knack for giving entertaining views on what makes these artists do what they do! I was intrigued to catch up with this young entrepreneur and ask her about current and future plans and who knows she could be interviewing you in the near future(pending you're kicking it with ya music career!) I saw that you have done some pretty awesome interviews with interstate and local bands, that must be quite the process to draw out the communication from artists who are about to go on stage or have just come off stage  - do you focus on different questions for different scenarios?  Most of the interviews I’ve done have been before the show, whether that’s hours or minutes before. I mainly focus on keeping artists comfortable and tend to not overwhelm them with tricky questions! I imagine post show interviews would have a completely different energy though, a...

  Bella Brinkworth is a relatively new singer-songwriter currently performing around Adelaide. She has some stunning songs currently streaming on Spotify including her 'Little Girl' EP and singles such as 'Crying at the Beach'. After being really impressed by her songs, Bella agreed to catch up and chat about how music is treating her lately.. Your songs are absolutely stunning. They are haunting yet they offer so much light – Who are your inspirations? Where does all this vocal layering come from and is this your vision for the future? Thank you so much, that is so kind! I have always been a fan of big vocal arrangements. When I was younger I would be able to hear how I wanted a song to sound, but I lacked the instrumental skills to play what I envisioned so I would sing what I heard instead! I think that habit has stuck around. I am also a huge Beatles fan and listening to their vocal arrangements as a kid definitely inspired me! I am also super inspired by artists li...

  Lily Appelt is fast becoming one of Australia's much sought after musicians performing with a vast array of artists and adjusting to their style of music with precision and professionalism. I've had the honor of seeing Lily perform Jazz and also Indie-Rock and she always puts on mind bending performances that you have to witness for yourself. After really enjoying Lily's solo release(Check it out it's absolutely stunning) I recently caught up with her between Adelaide and Melbourne and was keen to delve into the psyche of this Adelaide mega-artist. Lily, your songs you’ve got up on on-line are just sublime. Melodic layering and it’s just perfect folk, especially with ‘Now I’m here’, lyrically you are very wordy – Where does this come from and what influences you to write your endearing folky, pop tunes? My main influences have always been my friends and family! I was encouraged to take my songwriting more seriously by my dear friend Jack Wilsmore in 2024; he has alway...
