Marking the powerful debut for the Singing Our Futures program, The Archie Roach Foundation’s mentoring experience helping emerging First Nations artists on their songwriting and recording journeys, the brand new single Take No More brings together the illustrious talents of North Queensland rising star Kee’ahn and ARIA-nominated singer-songwriter Emma Donovan. Coated with smooth reggae and silky soul while championing solidarity and strength, Take No More is a compelling and eloquent first cut from the forthcoming Singing Our Futures EP, which will officially unveil later this year on Cooking Vinyl Australia. Fans can also catch this stunning new track alongside an incredible showcase of artists involved in the Singing Our Futures program on Thursday July 13 at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, with all ticket sales going to The Archie Roach Foundation.

Fans can also catch this stunning new track alongside an incredible showcase of artists involved in the Singing Our Futures program on Thursday July 13 at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, with all ticket sales going to The Archie Roach Foundation.

A process that saw Kee’ahn and Donovan evolve together over Zoom yarns and multiple demo versions along the way, Take No More showcases the immense talent and connectivity between the pair, while firmly paving the way for a slew of important releases yet to come as part of Singing Our Futures. The stunning instrumentation on display throughout the new single is powerfully elevated via the decisive thematic essence driving Take No More, as Kee’ahn explains, “We started writing Take No More around Invasion Day Jan 26th. Both of us were feeling a lot of emotions that come with the date and feeling inspired by grassroots mob who organise to educate and liberate our peoples. We spoke about how our leaders across generations stand strong and staunch against ongoing challenges, the act of carrying the torch forward passed down from your elders so our future generations can do the same or ideally won’t have to at all. We spoke about solidarity and how liberation is a joint fight with many hands needed. It also feels like this song has grown over the year, during which time beautiful Black leaders and changemakers have passed on into dreaming – this song feels dedicated to them. To Uncle Archie Roach and Aunty Ruby Hunter and to Uncle Jack Charles. They inspire me/us to sing our truth for our past, present and futures.”

A meaningful and culturally safe songwriting program that supports young First Nations artists to tell their story through songwriting, Singing Our Futures was devised pre-COVID and was one of the leading programs of the Archie Roach Foundation. Led by Candice Lorrae (The Merindas), an established singer-songwriter and music producer with Jawoyn and Torres Strait Islander roots, Singing Our Futures has evolved into an impactful and ever-growing initiative for emerging artists and storytelling that spans genres and generations. And, as Lorrae explains, the program itself is set to prosper further into 2023 and beyond, “Uncle Archie wanted to establish a program that supported our young artists in their songwriting and recording journeys. The program builds important connections for the young artists within the music industry. Singing Our Futures has seen five emerging artists receive mentoring from some of the country’s leading First Nations legends including Emily Wurramurra, Dan Sultan, Emma Donovan and Dobby. Kee’ahn, Kiwat Kennell, Ridzy Ray, Maylene Yinarr and Madi Colville-Walker have each recorded stunning new works through the Singing Our Futures program and together have supported and performed alongside each other, sharing their musical journey’s, culture, and their dreams for the future at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, BIGSOUND, St Kilda Festival and Byron Bay Bluesfest. We are super excited to be releasing an EP through Cooking Vinyl Australia scheduled for later this year.”

An acclaimed ARIA Award-nominated and award-winning Indigenous artist, Emma Donovan first set foot on stage with her renowned family band The Donovans, with Donovan performing church song renditions alongside her mother Agnes, her five uncles and maternal grandparents Micko and Aileen. Part of the famed Donovan family singers of the Gumbaynggirr people on her mother’s side, and of the Yamatji people on her father’s side, Donovan has toured and performed with the likes of Paul Kelly, The Teskey Brothers, Yothu Yindi, The Meltdown and Jen Cloher, as well as with the late Uncle Archie Roach and Aunty Ruby Hunter. From her work with Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks as well as The Black Arm Band, Donovan is armed with swoon-worthy vocals, intimate storytelling and a commanding grasp on everything from funk to blues, soul and beyond; and it’s little wonder that Donovan has been dubbed one of Australia’s finest artists.

The official celebration of the release of Take No More and the launch of Singing Our Futures will take place on Thursday July 13, with all proceeds going to The Archie Roach Foundation to honour Uncle Archie Roach’s legacy, and to also support the continuation of programs for the next generation of First Nations Artists. Donovan will lead this unforgettable evening, topped off with a stunning performance of Take No More by Donovan and Kee’ahn, as Kee’ahn reveals: “Fans can expect a new chapter in my music journey! One that tells the story of writing Take No More with sis Emma and exploring and expanding my lyricism and musicality with her mentorship and inspiration of strength! But also an experience that is joyful and connective. I’m looking forward to celebrating this music with community and everyone who made it happen.”

Take No More is out now via Cooking Vinyl Australia.

The Singing Our Futures EP will be released later this year.

NOTHING BUT THIEVES

RELEASE NEW ALBUM

‘DEAD CLUB CITY’

Today Nothing But Thieves have released their highly anticipated fourth album ‘Dead Club City’ via RCA/Sony, which features the recent singles ‘Welcome to the DCC’ and ‘Overcome’ alongside new single and album focus track ‘Tomorrow Is Closed’ and follows their 2020 charting topping album ‘Moral Panic’. A decade into their career, the band have never sounded as vital, inspired and blisteringly adventurous as they do on Dead Club City – welcome to the new era of Nothing But Thieves.

With socially insightful lyrics and an adept ability to progress their sound and experiment between the diverse genres that shape them as a band, Nothing But Thieves showcased their more sonically leftfield sound and made a statement return with the first single from the album ‘Welcome to the DCC’, marking an innovative new chapter with their fourth record ‘Dead Club City’. ‘Welcome to the DCC’ was A-List on Radio 1 and Radio X and has also become the band’s biggest ever airplay track to date. Recent single and epic pop track ‘Overcome’ is currently B-List on Radio 1 and the band recently performed both tracks at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee.

Through their new 11-track album ‘Dead Club City’, the band showcase their city-sized members only club and the album’s track list and overall narrative is formed by different characters and story arcs from in and around the city. Is it a shared consciousness? Another planet? The next corporate wasteland? Heaven? Or somewhere else?

Using the club as a focal point, it is easy to imagine the real-world meaning behind Dead Club City. Themes such as advertisement, unity, internet culture, the music industry, ageing and politics, as well as escapism and change are highlighted by the alienation or privilege of a members only club. Creatively engineered by the band themselves, the stories, themes and connections across ‘Dead Club City’ have been revealed in the lead-up to the album through songs, videos and artwork to showcase the overall concept behind the record.

Recorded and self-produced by Nothing But Thieves guitarist Dom Craik alongside John Gilmore (production, engineering) and Mike Crossey (mixing) over six months at Kyoto Studios in Essex, the 11 songs are vividly alive with big ideas, pop hooks, soul flourishes, hip hop beats, crunchy riffs and Conor’s remarkable vocals. Alongside recent singles ‘Welcome to the DCC’ and ‘Overcome’ and instant great track ‘Keeping You Around’, the album includes the epic and intriguing prog-funk track ‘Pop The Balloon’, which brings a heavier side to the album as its closer, the playful and glam ‘City Haunts’, which showcases a new side to Conor’s vocal with a slinky and soulful falsetto, and the stirring rock anthem and album focus track ‘Tomorrow Is Closed’ conveys a backdrop to the whole record with the overarching theme of wanting to escape and find somewhere new.

The full tracklisting is below:

Dead Club City:

1. Welcome to the DCC
2. Overcome
3. Tomorrow Is Closed
4. Keeping You Around
5. City Haunts
6. Do You Love Me Yet?                              
7. Members Only
8. Green Eyes :: Siena
9. Foreign Language
10. Talking To Myself
11. Pop The Balloon

Nothing But Thieves are Conor Mason (vocals, guitars), Joe Langridge-Brown (guitars), Dominic Craik (guitars, keyboard), Philip Blake (bass guitar) and James Price (drums).

About Nothing But Thieves:

The past few years have been quite a ride for Southend five-piece Nothing But Thieves. Amassing over 1.2 million worldwide album sales, 2 billion worldwide streams and 250 million video views, they have built up a loyal and wide following for their impactful alt rock sound and achieved global success with multiple gold and platinum records around the world, including Australia, Russia, Netherlands, South Korea and Poland. Their first two albums ‘Nothing But Thieves’ and ‘Broken Machine’ are both now gold in the UK.

In 2020, they released their third album ‘Moral Panic’, which charted at #3 achieving over 320 million streams and saw support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Virgin Radio and Radio X alongside winning Best Indie Act at Global Radio’s 2021 Awards. The album is now certified Silver and they followed this later that year with ‘Moral Panic II’, with both projects forming ‘Moral Panic (The Complete Edition)’ in 2021. ‘Moral Panic’ followed their 2018 EP ‘What Did You Think When You Made Me This Way’, their 2017 acclaimed album ‘Broken Machine’, which charted at #2 in the UK album chart, and their debut self-titled album ‘Nothing But Thieves’.

THORNHILL

PROM QUEEN CITY AUSTRALIAN TOUR

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
HOLDING ABSENCE (UK)
THOUSAND BELOW (USA) + BLOOM

Dressed to kill and ready to thrill, Melbourne’s THORNHILL are bringing the glam and ferocious allure this October to a capital city near you, announcing their Prom Queen City Australian Tour, with very special guests HOLDING ABSENCE (UK), THOUSAND BELOW (USA) and BLOOM.

Commencing in Melbourne on Friday 20 October at the Forum Theatre, fans in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney will also get the chance to experience THORNHILL‘s finery as they traverse the country with some of their dearest friends.

Off the back of their ARIA Award-nominated 2022 album Heroine, THORNHILL solidified their reputation as one of the most innovative and immersive heavy acts in the Australian scene, with Heroine marked an alluring evolution from the group’s 2019 debut album The Dark Pool. Storming up the charts debuting at #3 on the ARIA Album chart, Heroine debuted at #1 on the Australian Album chart, and has had more than 8.5 million streams to date.

Rounding out a huge 2022 appearing at Good Things Festival with headliners Bring Me The Horizon and many more in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, THORNHILL also ticked off some of their biggest Australian shows to date last year, selling out most of their headline tour, supporting The Butterfly Effect nationally, and performing their first ever US headline shows on the east coast alongside supporting ERRA and Alpha Wolf.

Amassing a heaving array of accolades over the years, including triple j’s Feature Album and additions to countless Best Of The Year listings for their 2019 release The Dark Pool, THORNHILL recently completed a regional Australian headline tour as well as a mammoth North American run supporting The Plot In You in 2023, and will next be performing in the UK for Radar Fest alongside Sleep Token, Monuments and many more this July.

Welsh rockers HOLDING ABSENCE are no strangers to penning emotionally-charged lyrics set alongside oscillating light and shade. With over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and an eagerly anticipated new album, The Noble Art Of Self Destruction, set to release on August 25, HOLDING ABSENCE are masters of capturing your attention and your soul. Having just returned from an extensive North American tour as the main support to The Plot In You and performing at Slam Dunk Festival, the band will also appear at Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Aftershock and more before rounding out the year with their album launch tour.

Hailing from San Diego in California, THOUSAND BELOW blend vulnerability, ambience and an infectious energy. Centering their expansive range within their genre around their intimate experience through the stages of grief, THOUSAND BELOW‘s exploration of loss, life and healing lies at the core of their authentic and relatable signature sound. Returning from a North American tour supporting Nothing More, THOUSAND BELOW will appear at Ohio’s Inkcarceration next month alongside Limp Bizkit, Volbeat and many more, and will support Senses Fail across the States this September and October.

Sydney’s very own BLOOM bring lashings of melodics and instrumental ferocity, expertly balanced against emphatic lyricism. A band equally capable of conveying deep emotion alongside irresistible hooks and singalong-ready choruses, BLOOM most recently showcased their enigmatic sonic wares in Texas, supporting Hotel Ugly, with previous 2023 appearances also in the UK for Wickfest, at UNIFY’s Off The Record Wollongong edition and extensively around regional Australia supporting Ocean Grove.

Save the date and don’t be late, tickets won’t last long for this incredible lineup.

PANIA

RELEASES NEW SINGLE

‘BURNA FONE’

PRODUCED BY TODDLA T

FOLLOWS SOLD-OUT SHOW AT THE ​
​SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE IN MAY
​​
​SPOTIFY AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND ​
​NEW RADAR ARTIST

Hot from her sold-out show at the Sydney Opera House last month, today West Melbourne artist PANIA shares her new single ‘BURNA FONE’ produced by Toddla T (Stormzy, Headie One, Craig David, Burna Boy, Celeste, Lady Leshurr, Skepta, Aitch) – out now via Say Less and Warner Music Australia.

Anchored by her signature style of clever lyrics and catchy hooks, ‘BURNA FONE’ serves as a sonic melting pot of PANIA’s love for the UK scene and her dynamic Melbourne influences. Toddla T’s genre-bending production, which cleverly incorporates the use of Polynesian drums, provides the ultimate sonic bed for PANIA to explore her vocal delivery.

LISTEN TO ‘BURNA FONE’ HERE

Behind the new track PANIA reveals, “’BURNA FONE’ was written on my recent writing trip in London with UK legend Toddla T. I went into the studio knowing I wanted to make something different and fun, and to bridge the gap between Melbourne and the UK. ‘BURNA FONE’ was what we came out with.”3

‘BURNA FONE’ follows the release of PANIA’s recent single “All Mine” in May which marked a new chapter for the R&B frontrunner. PANIA set the pace for 2023 supporting Grammy-nominated artist Kehlani on multiple Australian tour dates in January, with the release of her double single P PACK coinciding with her performance at Melbourne’s iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Featuring power-playa anthem “P STANDS 4 PLAYA” and short and sweet “2sides (freestyle)”, P PACK caught the attention of Vogue, Spectrum, Acclaim, Take Flight, Fashion Journal, Women In Pop, Happy Mag and more, with Red Bull hailing her as an Australian artist to watch in 2023.

Over the weekend, Spotify Australia and New Zealand also unveiled PANIA as the next artist as part of their RADAR program. Check out PANIA’s RADAR Billboard in Melbourne here. ​

Before performing as part of Live Nation’s coveted Ones To Watch series in March, PANIA travelled to London to write new material – some of which is set to debut later this year. PANIA has also been confirmed as part of Sydney’s inaugural SXSW lineup, taking place this October.

Having received widespread acclaim for her debut 2022 EP burnt ur clothes & changed the addy, PANIA has well and truly cemented her place at the forefront of Australia’s swiftly growing R&B scene. Off the back of the release, PANIA performed sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney, with the latter in such hot demand that hopeful punters were listening in from outside of the venue. 2022 also saw PANIA perform at Listen Out festival, land a billboard in New York City’s Times Square as a Spotify EQUAL AU Ambassador, and have her compelling debut single “ICYY” along with fan-favourite track “tiki” featured in Netflix’s hit series Heartbreak High.

An emerging player in the fashion scene, PANIA has also been turning heads and topping best dressed lists at her red-carpet appearances – including The ARIAs, NGV Gala and The Little Mermaid Premiere – for her innovative, future-focused style. PANIA was also selected as the face of Platypus’ 2022 holiday campaign, which saw her feature on storefronts across Australia and New Zealand alongside a filmed campaign. PANIA continues to be a part of the Converse Allstars.

PRAISE FOR PANIA

“Pania’s music serves as a time capsule for the passionate feelings that punctuate your 20s. Pania is blazing a trail.” ​ – Vogue Australia

“With a start this strong, there’s no limit to how high Pania can take things.” – Red Bull

“The superstar story of PANIA is being told just as much as it’s being written, and to be witnessing it in its prime is beyond extraordinary.” – Acclaim

“R&B’s It-Girl” – Vice

“with her music star well and truly on the rise, Pania has found her voice – and style – as an artist.” – Fashion Journal

DREAM ON DREAMER
CELEBRATE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
OF 2013 ALBUM 

LOVELESS

WITH RE-RECORDED SINGLE “HEAR ME OUT II”
AND THE 10 YEAR LOVELESS ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN AUGUST

There’s been no love lost for Melbourne alt metalcore icons Dream on Dreamer since the beloved group announced their disbandment back in 2020. And in 2023, fans are in for a treat not only with a special 10-year reunion tour this August celebrating a decade since the release of the band’s sophomore album Loveless, but with a re-recorded version of “Hear Me Out”; a track that truly put Dream on Dreamer on the map and solidified their optimistic brand of heartfelt heaviness.

Setting Dream on Dreamer apart from the pack as they discovered their sonic identity, “Hear Me Out II” galvanized the Melbourne group’s dedication to finding a point of difference in a scene often dominated by darkness and melancholia. While many of their peers have found the formula of writing songs that identify the feelings of depression, Dream on Dreamer painstakingly sought to not romanticize these negative ideas, instead aiming to offer hope and inspiration.

Hailed as “one of the most well received” songs from the band’s live set and back catalogue, “Hear Me Out” originally relished in lush reverberation, glistening instrumentation, oscillating light and shade, and towering emotion, with the brand new version, “Hear Me Out II” offering a glossy glow-up that packs a crisp evolution without sacrificing the charm of the original.

“When we wrote this song, we tried to be as honest as we could possibly be at the time,” Dream on Dreamer share, revisiting “Hear Me Out.” “We’ve all been at a point in our lives when every ripple feels like a hungry wave just waiting to devour us. Where the magnitude of emotions weighs so heavy, it seems to take over your soul and the light of hope is dimmed to a point of almost complete darkness.”

“There, you have choice,” the band continue. “You can give up or grow and thrive with the trust of knowing that feeling low and hopeless is only manifested inside your own mind. In those moments we have to realise that life itself is so much bigger than us and our current state of emotions is nothing more than a temporary feeling and a teacher that guides you to be an even better version of yourself.”

Having emerged from the heart of the alternative music scene, Dream on Dreamer quickly captivated audiences worldwide with their unique blend of soaring melodies, powerful lyrics, and explosive live performances. Their unwavering dedication to their craft earned them a passionate and dedicated fan base that has withstood the test of time.

Loveless, released ten years ago, solidified Dream on Dreamer as pioneers of the genre and left an indelible mark on the music landscape. The album delved into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, resonating with listeners on a deeply personal level. Its raw emotional intensity and thought-provoking narratives have firmly established it as a modern classic, with particular praise given to the slow-burning magic of “Hear Me Out” at the album’s midway point.

Fans have shown their appreciation for the anthem in the form of tattoos and artwork, making it clear to the group the significant impact the song has had; an impact largely accredited to the emotionally charged lyrics of pulling through hard times and epic musical arrangement.

With previous tours spanning the globe alongside the likes of Pierce The Veil, Avenged Sevenfold, A Day To Remember and more, Dream on Dreamer are set to showcase that absence has only made the heart and the emphatic performances grow stronger this August, with the 10-year anniversary tour visiting Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney set to offer carefully curated tracks from the iconic Loveless album, as well as a thoughtfully selected collection of fan favourites that span Dream on Dreamer‘s illustrious career.

PARAMORE

ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND DATES FOR NOVEMBER 2023

WITH SPECIAL GUEST REMI WOLF

Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce Grammy Award-winning US trio Paramore – Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York – will touch down in Australia and New Zealand this November, following their most recent visit in 2018 when they played sold out East Coast dates.

Paramore, joined by special guest Remi Wolf, will head through Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday 18 November, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 22 November and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Monday 27 November. They will also visit Sydney’s iconic Domain on Saturday 25 November, performing to a GA audience for an extra special night of music under the stars and their biggest Australian headline show to date.

A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to leading food rescue organisations OzHarvest (Australia) and KiwiHarvest (New Zealand) to help reduce food waste and create lasting positive social change.

Frontier Members can access pre-sale tickets on Monday 3 July from 10am AEST (staggered timings as below).

Tickets will open for general public sale on Thursday 6 July from 10am AEST (staggered timings as below). More information at frontiertouring.com/paramore

Currently taking their mammoth live show across North America, Paramore have had a whirlwind start to 2023; embarking on a South American tour in March, joining Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour for two nights in Arizona, playing two sold out Madison Square Garden shows in June and last week achieving a career high, blowing crowds away at Bonnaroo with Hayley Williams jumping on stage with Foo Fighters for a surprise rendition of ‘My Hero!’

The band’s highly anticipated sixth studio album This Is Why was released in February to incredible support from fans and critics alike, topping charts in Australia and the UK. “With some of their most fearless songwriting to date, This Is Why is a bold reminder of how limitless Paramore can be” wrote NME, with Louder Sound calling Paramore “the most vital rock band of their generation”. The immaculately crafted soundscape is the beloved trio’s first full length release since 2018, the title track earning the band their first No.1 at US Alternative Radio and voted Hottest Record Of The Year by BBC Radio One listeners in the UK.

Over the last few years Paramore’s influence and popularity has snowballed, as the age of streaming organically propelled them into a position as one of the world’s biggest, most culturally compelling rock bands. For the band, who formed as teenagers in Tennessee, their 20-year trajectory has seen them grow from youthful outsiders to bone-fide pop culture icons, permeating the musical landscape by inspiring a new generation of musical talent.

Fresh from standout performances at Beyond The Valley, Wildlands and Field Day festivals at the start of the year and sold out headline shows, Californian singer-songwriter Remi Wolf joins Paramore as a special guest on all Australia and New Zealand dates this November. Rising to fame in 2021 with TikTok viral track, ‘Photo ID’ from her critically-acclaimed album Juno, the singer has since gone from strength to strength. Known for her incredible stage presence, full of fun, inclusivity and openness, Remi will grace the stage to perform some of her biggest hits.

Riding a wave of huge international success, Paramore’s biggest headline dates down under, with special guest Remi Wolf, are going to be explosive! Don’t miss tickets when they go on sale on Thursday 6 July.

BELOVED VOICE OF AOTEAROA

DALLAS TAMAIRA

RELEASES NEW SINGLE

‘LEANING’

Dallas Tamaira has released his new single ‘Leaning’, the first introduction to his upcoming EP, which will be his first full solo work in over 20 years.

Born in Ōtautahi of Ngati Tuwharetoa and Pakeha descent, Dallas (aka Joe Dukie) was raised in the small coastal town of Kaikōura before rising to worldwide acclaim as lead vocalist of the iconic group Fat Freddy’s Drop. Twenty years on, The Drop are seen as one of the most successful New Zealand acts of the 21st Century.

During the pandemic, with Fat Freddy’s Drop unable to tour, Dallas found a new phase of personal creativity. For the self-proclaimed introvert, with nothing to do but write and create, Dallas began working on brand new solo music with long-time friend and award-winning producer Devin Abrams (Shapeshifter, Drax Project, Pacific Heights).

For an artist who has delivered countless exquisite performances over the years, ‘Leaning’ takes Dallas into a new world of sounds and spaces. Musically explorative, the track sees Dallas as a vocal voyager in an atmospheric audio landscape created by producer Devin Abrams. Dallas’ deep and soulful voice draws listeners in and captivates them to his story, before then blowing their minds with a spacey other-worldly display of sonic fireworks.

“I wrote ‘Leaning’ in the middle of the pandemic”, says Dallas. “It’s essentially a love song about a couple who are trying to make the most of being together in lockdown. It’s about taking the time out to make yourself feel good, while the rest of the world is seemingly falling around you. It’s about enjoying the moments you have with the ones you love today, and not worrying about what tomorrow might bring.”
