TYDE – “Let The Dust Fall”

Hailing from Brisbane, this genre-fluid Australian band got started by accident when frontwoman Ella Belfanti reached out to another musician to see how an electric guitar would fit into the tunes she’d written. And with the addition of brass, a new sound was born. Now a collective of 8 musicians, they’ve excited live audiences from The Brightside Brisbane to the Woodford Folk Festival. Inspired by The Cat Empire and Hiatus Kaiyote, they debuted with “Skin On Skin” in 2020.

Narrating the harrowing experiences of Ella with doctors who ignored her concerns and gaslit her, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, their new single tells a mournful story wrapped in an invigorating melody. Starting with intricate guitar plucks, the song slowly adds punchy percussion, full-bodied guitars and some brisk brass to give it an emotion-laden anthemic feel. And while capturing the resentment and anger in the authentic vocals, this groove is an imposing protest.

Wil Linder – “Keep Getting Fooled”

Born and raised in the rural outskirts of Sydney, this Australian singer and songwriter grew up far from the hustle and bustle of city life. Although his youth was immersed in music, it wasn’t until he was 19 before his career took off. Since then he’s been impressing audiences with his dynamic stage presence at venues like the Richmond Regent Theatre. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell and Mumford & Sons, he debuted with “A Good Hard Look” in 2023.

Told from behind a bottle, pouring his heartrending story into his glass, his new single shines a light on the dreams we dream and the sometimes harsh reality that comes with them. Joining his authentic lyrics is a fusion of country, rock and indie that has a genuine rawness and relatability. Instantly gripping with a howling electric country guitar, the track fills the melody with a driving beat and a sweeping organ. And with his husky vocals, this ardent tune is a heartfelt ode.
