Michael Franti & Spearhead
Franti’s message of positivity-minded political
consciousness, once an outlier in music, has
found momentum in the mainstream in recent
years, a phenomenon that compelled him to
push his artistry even further on SOULROCKER.
“I feel a deeper sense of purpose in music today
than I ever have in my career”, he says. “The
album’s really about me challenging myself
and growing, and just trying to make the most
inspiring music I possibly can for this intense,
crazy and wonderful time we’re all living in”.
Features the first single “Crazy For You”.
City Calm Down

Bourke’s striking baritone. Featuring

DMA’s
After bursting onto the scene in early
2014 with their debut single Delete,
Sydney’s DMA’S backed it up earlier this
year with their highly anticipated Top 10
debut LP, Hills End. After a massive 12
months touring overseas including festival
appearance as the likes of Glastonbury
and Coachella, the 3 piece are back for
their Sold Out ‘Hills End’ Australian tour
with dates throughout May & June.
Jake Bugg
The album title takes its name from a
saying in Jake’s Nottingham hometown
and couldn’t be more apt. Instead of
saying on my own, they say on my one.
“In a lot of ways it sums up this record
because it mainly has been me on
my own”, Jake says. “I saw this as the
logical next step in my development
as a songwriter. It was a challenge but
something I felt I had to do”.
