We haven’t heard much from the Cape Town four piece in a while and then out of nowhere, this beautiful new EP. It seems Holiday Murray have been keeping a low profile because they’ve been working hard on their second official release, Puffader Sessions. As can be expected, it’s an intricate folk-rock offering [...]

After all that build up and a sick show at Live, you can finally hear the whole of As You Were and purchase the 9 track album by Hours for $5. We’re only 3 months in but come the end of the year, it should be at the top of every SA punk fan’s album [...]

When one one of the biggest names in South African electronic music puts out an EP for free, you cop that shit as quickly as possible. You’re going to want Arc-eyes on your computer, phone and iPod one time so you can wild out to Sibot whenever it suits you, just try not to go [...]

Hours dropped their much anticipated (by punk kids at least) first full length album, As You Were, recently at Live The Venue.

It’s good, good, good, it’s good, it’s naas. Yup, the naas crew have been busy as always and have put out another themed compilation of rad new South African music.
