If you like Alvvays, as I do, then you might be into the sound of Sydney band, Bridge Dog. I'll be keeping an eye on their tour dates.

Here's a live performance of the lead track on the album, Counterweight.

Jangly Kiwi veterans continue their 40+ year career with 2 tracks released from an October 2025 album, on the legendary Flying Nun records. They're are one of my all-time favourites.
