Song Of The Day – The Panics “Majesty”
Brand new from The Panics!
Alternative/Indie/Rock
This is their first music since 2007, that was 4 years ago! and now the boys from Perth are back with one hell of a song and the long awaited new album “Rain On The Humming Wire” is due out on the 29th of July. If you can’t wait that long, then there is a national tour for the WA band stopping at the following venues:

This song has everything I love about the panics taken to the next level. If the rest of the album is of the same quality as this first song then this will be one of the biggest records of the year. “Don’t fight it” The first single from “Cruel Guards” entered the top 10 of Triple J’s Hottest 100 for that year and I can see “Majesty” doing similar things this year. This track is Grand, it is modest yet astounding, it does everything just right. It Picks you up in the chorus and sets you back down gently for the verses. The drums, similar to Timpani (the large kettel drums used in orchestras) are a great addition, they add depth to the song and help give it that illustrious and imposing character.
It was definitely worth the wait for this one, “Majesty” is truly Majestic.
Please let everyone else know what you think of “Majesty” by The PanicsSong Of The Day – The Little Stevies “The Day We Went Away”
Pop/Indie
The Little Stevies are a wonderful traveling storybook from Melbourne that is gaining more and more readers with every show they perform. Their second Album “Attention shoppers” recorded in LA with Ethan Allan as Producer, brings a harder edge to their songs with more of a pop influence and slick strong rhythms. This tune “The Day We Went Away” has all of that and shows us some of the laid back folk that they are best know for as well. Though not as catchy as their previous song “Feel It” this offering still provides some great musical listening with beautiful 3 part harmonies singing honest, heart felt lyrics. I want to listen to this song as I drive along the coast road with a few of my best friends with no real destination in mind on a sunny, windy day. It is impossible to be unhappy whilst listening to the Little Stevies!!
On the up and up, The little stevies will go far with already two American tours under their belt, the international chapter to their story has begun. On their last tour abroad they performed at New York’s CMJ and Ottawa’s OCFF music conferences stealing the show, creating massive industry buzz and making heaps of friends and fans.

First Ever Song of The Day – Blud “Sarah Is For Lovers”
Blud – Sarah Is For Lovers
Power-Pop/rock/electronic
Blud are a Perth Band that have played at Parklife 2010, Norfolk Lanes Youth Festival 2010 (their first 2 gigs ever!!) and Good Vibrations 2011. Not much is known what the rest of 2011 has in stall for them, you can check out their myspace page but that hasn’t been updated since January. Though I’m sure they are making waves over in WA.
This track is pumped up with so much bass it could quite possibly break your legs. The intro draws you into the tune perfectly and then the rest literally blows you away. The ultimate destructive house party anthem. Draws from artists like presets and bloody-beetroots. It’s pure aggression in a song that is also a bucket full of fun!
