When The Music reviewer Michael Prebeg caught Broods touring their most recent LP, Don’t Feed The Pop Monster, he noted:
“Despite their new material breaking away from conventional or mainstream blockbuster pop, it’s still bursting with the exhilarating and charismatic elements that we’ve grown to love about this band. It’s clear that this new direction comes on their own terms.”

Bastille, Max Frost
Saturday 1 February
British alt-pop maestros Bastille return to Australia in support of their third LP, Doom Days.
“[Doom Days] is a dance record but on our terms,” vocalist Dan Smith said around its release.
“I’ve called it an apocalyptic party record but a party for us is all-nighters with your mates, not popping bottles in the club. It’s very British: rough around the edges.”

With week two of the AO Live Stage schedule kicking off with some great local talent, it’s fitting that prolific Aussie troubadour Ziggy Alberts closes out the week. At the end of last year, Alberts embarked on a sold-out Australian tour. See what all the fuss is about at the AO!
