Category: EP Reviews

Short, sharp, and often the birthplace of the next big thing. Our EP Reviews focus on the smaller releases that pack a punch. EPs are where artists experiment and find their voice, and we love highlighting these shorter projects—especially from emerging Australian musicians. Get a quick, honest take on the best new EPs hitting the airwaves this week.

Club Halifax are one of my favourite discoveries of this year. Bee Sting is a slightly more gentle release than their previous record Blah Blah Blah. At its heart are the gently paced drums, and the song builds with heavier guitars battling the powerful vocals as the track heads to its climax. It’s another track on this week’s list that is bringing pain and emotion to the forefront as it moves through a post breakup journey and the need to go through the hurt in order to heal.

Originally written over a year ago, Hell Must Be Empty remains as deeply relevant at the time of its release. The vocals centre around the repeated mantra “Hell must be empty, the devils are all here.” as the song tells the story of the ever
