Australian female pop music has been overshadowed in recent years by the New Zealand juggernauts of Kimbra  and Ladyhawke . Australia however, has a (not so) secret weapon to rival the aforementioned sensations. After initially starting out in punk band Kiosk, Catherine Kelleher, who goes by the moniker Catcall, has released her debut album The Warmest Place . Four years have passed since Catcall’s self-released EP Anniversary – a hip-hop infused first offering which lead to her being signed to Ivy League ...

Listen on Rdio Listen on Spotify Welcome to a (somewhat belated, but what do you expect from me at this point?) SXSW edition of the Sum The Greater playlist!

I had to throw two events for work, which were great fun. We had an afternoon arcade where we literally brought in arcade games and a wheel of prizes (plus the usual free booze and such). We also had ...

The female vocalists take a shoegaze approach to their indie-pop ...
