Mirva: One

Some sweet alternative pop sounds are on it’s way all the way from Australia where the Swedish singer/songwriter Mirva recorded her EP One (and the fresh new album scheduled for release very soon). With her music, the singer creates “…feel-good, inspirational & serotonin-raising musical experiences. Under the MiRVA umbrella, I strive to make music that is good for the soul with a positive approach aimed to inspire and spread happiness in our world.”

Epithets: A New Tradition

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, the Epithets are Nick, Lisy, Simon, Dwayne and Alison. The five piece post-punk band plays a wide variety of instruments ranging from an electronic violin to the glockenspiel and melodica meaning you can expect a somewhat minimalistic and classy touch to the traditional indie punk genre. A New Tradition is their latest EP continuing their prolific nature from their much lauded debut LP Year of Glad released on the previous year.

Jay Fraser: Sketches of a Renegade

Leaving Australia to learn how to play and staying in London to learn how to survive, Jay Fraser surely has a lot of cultural diversity that makes his alternative country music appealing to all. As a modern day travelling troubadour, Fraser can match his snappy guitar work with his cultured vocals which propelled him enough air time and gave him three albums and Sketches of a Renegade, a four-track compilation of Frasers solo performance in Doncaster, UK.
