Just in time for road-trip season, Indie-Punk vocalist Luke Seymoup and The Moup Group have released a new upbeat tune called Maple Road. The song centers on the story of Luke and fellow musician Joe Guiton getting lost on the Aussie Roads back in 2015. The colourful chorus compares the situation to ‘how horror movies start’. Thank goodness they didn’t come across Mick Taylor on the roads YIKES! #wolfcreek. In addition to The Seymoup band’s previous single Serengetti being wr

ICYMI The Last Martyr released the EP of your dreams! WOW! I mean what can I tell you about the Purgatory EP… it's diverse and fluctuates between thrashing metalcore and post- pop hardcore (I think TLM possibly created a new genre?). Listening from start to end is a must, as it finishes exactly how I wanted, filling that gap of what would extend The Last Martyr's style. These forward thinkers are oh so satisfying! Okay, before we get into the scary witchcraft of The Last Mart
