UK Indie alternative act Secret Company has become a 2015 favorite and could be a 2016 breakthrough artist. Why? Unlike their cohorts, the band has a knack for writing memorable anthems followed by classic guitar riffs. The new single release ‘Picture’ follows their debut EP that contains the track ‘Saviour’ which has garnered over 150,000 plays Soundcloud. Lead singer & guitarist Scott Revell explains the meaning behind the new track …“I fell out with an old friend of mine and he went on to tell another mate of ours what happened. This other mate, hearing only his side of the story then stopped talking to me as a result. Frustrating, because I didn’t feel in the wrong at all and maybe if he’d have heard it from my point of view, things would have been different. But he never did. Quite often, I think people will hear things about someone and then take that word as gospel. There’s always another side to the story, so I decided to tell mine with ‘Picture’”.

Brisbane three piece The Cairos have released the new single ‘Love Don’t Feel Right‘. While the bands last release was through Island/Universal, the new single is self released, and the results are good. It’s airy, dreamy, and atmospheric with hints of The Beatles & Coldplay. The band notes, “the new single is a little bit different from what we have done before, it’s more pop inspired. With 100% creative control, this is the work that we have been wanting to produce.” They played along side Mute Math, have performed high profile gigs in South East Asia, and will embark on a 2016 presented by Rolling Stone.
