A friend posted this on Facebook last night and in the last 12 hours they’ve possibly become my favourite new Brisbane band. Bitchratch’s […]

Over the last few weeks I’ve been putting these posts together I’ve discovered that my inbox is pretty quiet Monday to Wednesday and then gets inundated by press releases on Thursday.

If everything has gone to plan, I’ll be at the Brisbane leg of this year’s Laneway festival by the time you read this. This year’s line-up is another strong one and I’ll be looking to catch a number of acts we’ve written about on Collapse Board, both favourably and less so – Lorde, Savages, Warpaint, […]
The Collapse Board Interview | Adalita
Adalita Srsen has been a mainstay of the Australian music scene for almost two decades, first as a member of Magic Dirt and as a solo artist since 2010. We spoke to her about the influences on her most recent album, All Day Venus, and the challenges of being a solo artist.

I kinda feel that I take things in by osmosis. I will get immersed in something and get obsessed with it for […]

Triple J Blamed For Homogenisation Of Australian Music Websites
ABC's youth radio station Triple J has contributed to the success of many local media outlets but has it become so influential that it's led to the homogenisation of Australian music websites?
As the editor of a popular Australian music website, the articles he publishes have garnered hundreds, maybe even thousands of page hits. When he created a new website recently, he was eager to see it equal or better his past successes. So he doctored his content to specifically feature the acts played on ABC’s popular […]
