Sex With Yr DAdelaide On The Scene.


South Australia's never been known for it's musical exports, nor it's originality or, in fact, it's never been known for anything positive. Until now that is, with the creative kids shirking from the hip hop bullies and expressing themselves.

The Swiss are a band on everyone's lips, after playing the Big Days Out and Laneway Festivals all over Australia, they dropped their 'Bubble Bath' EP a couple weeks ago and it's been destroying dancefloors. Bringing disco back to the clubs, the Knightlife remix of 'Bubble Bath' is utterly incredible, with loads of laidback beats and improvised synths, with the added cowbell, brings a joy to my heart.

The Shiny Brights are a personal favourite of mine, being the first act I ever seen live (in support of The Wombats), and have stuck in my mind ever since. Their debut EP was full of upstart indie pop, and their latest track, courtesy of the jjj Unearthed website, continues with the frenetic pace and shouty-shout vocals, 'Not Too Old'

Electro-fused-indie-rock-twats The Touch are another amazing live act, who I've seen multiple times but can never seem to get my hands on any of their tracks. Everyone's favourite EC DJ's Loot & Plunder have done up their new track 'Shot' to great effect, adding to the already sharp beats and yelly-yell vocals, L&P dress down with their lovely synth work and ear for a break.

New kids to the Adelaide scene, or new to me anyway, perhaps I've been a little slow on the uptake, are jjj Laneway Unearthed winners The Salvadors. Akin to The Holidays, Salvadors cling to their rocky/bluesy type tone and deliver a kicker in 'Atacama Disco'. Get on it. X
