V**gra Boys Announce Australia + New Zealand Tour
Press Release – Frontier Touring Company
Following a sold-out rampage across Australia last November – and currently tearing through a riotous world tour in support of their new album, viagr aboys – Swedish post-punkers V**gra Boys announce their live return in January, including the band's first visit to Aotearoa with the infinite anxiety tour of 2026: Australia and New Zealand.
Led by the gravel-throated, gleefully unfiltered Sebastian Murphy, six-piece V**gra Boys are one of the world's most unmissable bands, a reputation earned through relentless international touring – including a recent set at Coachella, where they kicked off their current world tour (watch here) – and chaotic headline shows that blend satire, sleaze, and saxophone.
After dissecting a world ruled by terminally-online conspiracy theorists on 2022's Cave World, fourth album viagr aboys paces through the crude grimy places where they themselves fit in the nonsense. One of the V**gra Boys' greatest strengths is their ability to tear down everything and nothing at the same time. Murphy and his compatriots will build a charred groove, pick out surreal bursts of imagery to perfectly gouge at the sheen of societal normalcy, and then remind you that you're probably wrong to trust their judgment.
Touching down in January 2026, the post-punkers will hit Auckland's Powerstation in a long-overdue debut NZ performance on Thursday 15 January, before embarking on a run of their biggest Australian venues to date: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday 16 May (1pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/vboys. Frontier and Penny Drop members can access early presale tickets via promoter presales, starting Thursday 15 May (11am local time).
Renowned for their explosive live energy and razor-sharp wit, on lead single and album opener 'Man Made of Meat' Murphy taunts your mum's OnlyFans and hopes to score some free women's sweaters from LL Bean. And as the album evolves, V**gra Boys work through churning post-punk, post-apocalyptic dub, and skronking rock while denouncing 'smoking crypto' and detailing a journey 'stealing Poseidon's trident from the Navy SEALs.' Through it all, the band looks out at the endless expanse of Walmarts and crystal healers, searching for some twisted solace: 'the important part of being alive in the big, stupid world is figuring out the world inside of you that is equally big and stupid.''
V**gra Boys. January 2026. It's gonna get weird. Don't miss out!

Ocean Alley Announce Fifth Album Love Balloon & Release Infectious Title Track
Globally renowned Australian rockers Ocean Alley are thrilled to announce their fifth studio album, Love Balloon, set for release on September 19 via Community Music. Alongside the news, the six-piece have dropped the record's infectious title track. Joyful and uplifting, 'Love Balloon' offers a blissful glimpse into the band's creative direction on their upcoming album - confident, exploratory and full of character. Anchored by an irresistible groove and a shimmering Nile Rodgers-inspired guitar riff, the track threads an unexpected touch of disco flair along its pulsating bassline, marking playful new territory for the band. It feels effortlessly spontaneous, echoing the carefree energy of previous singles 'Tangerine' and 'Left Of The Dealer'. It's charming, lighthearted, and above all, fun. Working with legendary producer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Powderfinger, Rage Against The Machine) for the first time, the band embraced a stripped-back, more emotionally resonant approach to Love Balloon. Across 10 tracks, they take listeners on a journey through life and love in all its complexity, underscored by moments of light, vulnerability and connection. There are moments that feel expansive and hopeful, and others that are more introspective and raw. It's not ignorant of our inner worlds or the world outside - it offers an escape from it. On the record, keyboardist and vocalist Lach Galbraith explained, ' The album explores the many layered dimensions of love - not just the cinematic kind where you're falling head over heels, but the full spectrum: joy, hurt, discomfort and disappointment. Let's call it the river of love - whether it's with a partner, a friend, or family, you never know when it'll get deep, go shallow, or suddenly change course. It's such a force that you have to just surrender to its current. ' With a reputation for their magnetic live performances, and a catalogue that's now surpassed 1 billion streams, Ocean Alley have a huge run of international dates to come throughout 2025. They are making appearances at iconic festivals including Lollapalooza, Sziget and Austin City Limits, alongside shows at LA's Hollywood Palladium and Brooklyn Paramount in New York. The group will make their first trip to Latin America with shows in Mexico, Brasil and Chile, before taking on their largest headline show to date, anywhere in the world - at London's iconic 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace in September. Ocean Alley have truly emerged as one of Australia's most successful musical exports. Across four albums, including 2022's critically acclaimed Low Altitude Living, the six-piece - Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar), Tom O'Brien (drums) and Nic Blom (bass) - have inspired audiences around the world with their unmistakable sound. With chart success across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA, and 12 accredited singles of Gold or higher in Aotearoa, Ocean Alley are entering a bold new chapter - and with stadium-sized ambition in sight, they're poised to leave an enduring mark on the music landscape for many years to come.

The Terrys – Share Earnest Single ‘Eraser' Ahead Of Forthcoming Self-Titled Album
Press Release – Good Intent Beloved Gerringong indie outfit The Terrys return with their reflective single ' Eraser ', from their forthcoming self-titled album – out Friday, June 13 through Westway Collective. Pre-order vinyl HERE + HERE. 'Eraser' leans into sombre acoustic textures, pairing delicate guitar lines with Jacob 'Finchie' Finch 's raw, emotive vocals. Produced by longtime collaborators Tasker, Paddy Cornwall, and Taras Hrubyj-Piper, the track offers a moment of quiet introspection — a stripped-back exploration of memory, loss, and letting go. 'Eraser' reveals a softer side of The Terrys — one that trades in big hooks for hushed, heartfelt resonance. Accompanying the album is The Terrys' biggest national headline tour to date, including stops in Meanjin/Brisbane, Tarndayna/Adelaide, Boorloo/Perth, Naarm/Melbourne, Eora/Sydney, Nipaluna/Hobart and Lutruwita/Forth. A central aim of this tour from the band was for it to be affordable for all fans, hence the ticket price of $35. This continues on from selling out shows across Australia, the UK, EU & NZ and playing Australian mainstays Beyond The Valley, Chasing Tides, Hay Park, Spaced Out Festival, Yours & Owls, NYE on the Hill, Rolling Sets and Festival of the Sun. Recently, they also played the Too Turped Up Weekender across Wagga Wagga and Albury. Last year, the band went from strength to strength, with their sophomore album ' Skate Pop ' debuting at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart and landing a coveted triple j Feature Album spot. The singles also appeared at #93 (' No Bad Days '), #103 (' Hopscotch ') and #181 (' Silent Disco ') in triple j's Hottest 100 (2023). Their first record ' True Colour ' also debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart. The Terrys' true north has always been this: stay positive, take it one day at a time and look towards the horizon with a smile and, ideally, beer in hand. 'Eraser' is available worldwide now The Terrys Self-Titled Album will be available Friday, July 11, via Westway Collective Pre-order vinyl HERE + HERE THE TERRYS ALBUM TOUR DATES Tickets available at
