In The Spotlight

Kate Cosentino – “Fighting With Myself”

Born in Kansas City and now based in Nashville, this singer and songwriter has has been performing from a young age. She’s graced stages from The Commodore in Nashville to the Kauffman Center in Kansas City. This year she was a contestant on Season 23 of The Voice, reaching the Knockouts. Inspired by Regina Spektor, Phoebe Bridgers and Norah Jones, she released her debut “Mister J” in 2012.

Highlighting the self-sabotaging inner voice, which revels in criticizing everything you do, her new single shows a rare vulnerability and a truly relatable honesty. Cleverly blending elements of jazz with alternative pop, it’s the imposing keys and haunting vibe that first grabs your attention, before jaunty drums and rousing guitars join her sassy vocals and make this groove sound irresistible.

South Summit – “Sidelines”

Hailing from Perth, this indigenous Australian quintet formed back in 2020 at a winery in Darlington. Consisting of Zaya, Josh, Fynn, Nemo and Nathan, they have been performing at festivals such as Groovin’ The Moo and BIGSOUND, as well as a performance at Rockingham’s Casuarina Prison. Inspired by Ocean Alley, DMA’s and Sticky Fingers, they released their debut EP “Merlin’s” in 2021.

Telling the story about always finding your way back home to reconnect with your roots, no matter how long you’re away, their new single takes indie-rock to anthemic heights. Taken from their EP “Tales Of The Yeti”, they’ve created a melodic mix of 80s and 90s rock. With a driving percussion and mellifluous electric guitars, it’s the gritty vocals, that join everything into a soaring indie-rock jam.
