Lipstereo


'Little Spaceships’ is the second single from Australian indie rockers, LIPSTEREO’s new EP, 'Modern Mythology'. Renowned Australian, Mark Opitz AM (INXS, AC/DC, The Angels), produced this melodic antidote to their garage rock debut, ’Stop.’


‘Little Spaceships’ is uplifting indie rock with guitars, bass and drums channelling The Beatles, Nirvana and The Ramones. Interesting arrangements and studio sounds such as bells and a 1960s electro-mechanical musical instrument, the Mellotron (used in 'Strawberry Fields Forever’ by The Beatles), fuse Opitz's "sophisto-punk" musical vision to the band's post punk revival sound.

This song hints at the future musical direction of LIPSTEREO as it leads the listener into areas of some great song writing. ‘Little Spaceships’ sees the band proudly wearing on their sleeve the influences of their contemporaries and heroes such as Arctic Monkeys, Weezer and The Strokes.

The song is about “friends moving on and feeling left behind" says lead singer/guitarist, Sam Stranges. The song travels through some great pop rock terrain with a vocal treatment akin to Marc Bolan and T-Rex thanks to the skills of producer Mark Opitz and Thirty Mill Studios sound engineer, Colin Wynne. It is truly thrilling to hear this kind of rock ’n’ roll being made today… in Melbourne; a city with a rich musical history that gave us Nick Cave, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Crowded House, The Teskey Brothers and Jet.

The music video was recently filmed during a live sold-out show in Melbourne at The Catfish. The footage shows the band in fine form and as an exciting, bona fide live act. The audience reactions to their mesmerising live performances have been electric. Do not miss...

 
THE RISE AND RISE OF LIPSTEREO ...

LIPSTEREO’s success can be attributed to its strong two-year creative period where they wrote and demoed some fifty songs in one of the most locked-down cities around the world, Melbourne. Since then, the band has gone from strength to strength with their ground-breaking debut music video for ‘Stop’ being played on national ABC television network in Australia for weeks on end as well as MTV in Canada and the US. In addition to MTV in North America, their second music video, ‘Little Spaceships’ has increased their reach into MTV Latin America, MTV SUR and MTV Mexico. Their total reach through MTV alone being over 150 million homes across North and South America.


Their songs have been serviced to over 14,000 radio stations internationally and have received significant airplay in the US, Canada, The Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Ireland, the UK and their home country of Australia. They even had a slot on AXS TV reaching over 44 million homes in the US. They have had Top 10 commercial radio (Modern Rock Specialty) and Top 20 college radio success in the US and Canada for ‘Modern Mythology’ and are currently mastering in their second studio EP, also produced by Mark Opitz.
 

LIPSTEREO has gained international attention with their EP, ‘Modern Mythology’ which was named as “Record Of The Week” in Rolling Stone. Their follow up, “Live At Bakehouse” EP was also named “Record Of The Week” in Rolling Stone…AGAIN! 


They have received massive coverage in NMEEarMilkClassic Rock Magazine and Atwood MagazineLIPSTEREO pioneered a new TikTok genre where they do a "Blind Cover," of a trending song without actually listening to it – including ‘Anti-Hero’ by Taylor Swift, ‘Made You Look’ by Meghan Trainor and ‘Life Goes On’ by Oliver Tree. The latter video went viral on TikTok, garnering 5 million views, 800k likes and over 6k comments alone.

Nuasia




NuAsia is an all Asian modern Pop Country band from Los Angeles, This is their message about America: 'To us America is an incredible country that is full of love, hope, and opportunities.

"Islands in the Stream" is a beautiful song created and performed by legends BeeGees, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

In respect to the legends, NuAsia's mission was to modernize the song while still maintaining the original melody front and present. They wanted the song to be recognized from the beginning and making it sound like it was produced yesterday at the same time.

Nicolás Walle


This single by half-Irish, half-Dutch, multi-instrumental musician and producer Nicolaas Walle features talented singer Sophia Malaika, is the second of a trilogy of singles being released by Nicolaas Walle, which are conceptually linked.


The concept is to fuse elements of explorational and exciting progressive rock bands of the 70s with contemporary stylistic elements and more modern commercial tendencies in order to make a sound which sits comfortably in the modern music context of 2023 whilst still preserving some of the creative ethos of bands such as YES, Camel, Rush and other great bands who have influenced Nicolaas.

"Sun Coming Up on My Life" is about the feeling of having a trajectory of positive change in one's life and being grateful for it.

James Leeds


Following radio plays from renowned German radio station SWR3, composer, pianist and producer James Leeds returns with a beautiful pop song ‘Whenever or Wherever’ featuring vocals from JACOB. He composed this song for his wife and performed it on their wedding day.


As one blogger wrote "Whenever or Wherever" is 'a gorgeous old-school pop song. It's got an ever-green melody that will never go out of date. The vocals are wonderful as are the harmonies and the overall production, although a mixture of 1970s and 1980s, is extremely effective... Love it!'
