| The General Electryk: Petty Little Things | | UP |
| | |
Details & Listen
|
The General Electryk are a folk-alt-indie-rock band featuring singer/songwriter/guitarist Melanie McDonald and drummer/backing vocalist Angus Donnelly.

With busking roots, this duo incorporates elements of creativity and fun using vintage luggage as drums. Like Dallas Green meets Natalie Merchant. Music for travelling folk. This debut album "Petty Little Things" was recorded by Glenn Forrester of Barstool Prophets fame.

| Ryan Giles: Ivanhoe Express | | UP |
| | |
Details & Listen
|
Ryan Giles is an independent Australian singer songwriter from South East Queensland. A small town kind of guy who was moved around a bit as a kid, always known as 'Gilesy' and never too far away from a guitar. Inspired by the sound of the troubadours of the early 70s, Ryan has recreated a genre of folk inspired pop music with a twist of country. Ryan's vocal style is one that draws you into his daydream like lyrics which may leave you with a smile on your face, deep in thought or even staring off into space. A smooth strumming guitar and a few crafty harmonica licks are just a few things...

'...Cardier is our finest contemporary singer-songwriter BAR NONE and this 90-minute plus live performance is ample evidence of that.' (Keith Glass, Rhythms Magazine Oct 09).
From the release of his first single, back in March 1972, Australian singer-songwriter Glenn Cardier has crafted a singular body of stellar work that has garnered remarkable acclaim and reviews.
As Rhythms magazine’s Keith Glass has insisted, Glenn "should be trumpeted as one of our finest, an original and a craftsman of the first order" - an assertion well evidenced by this intimate and atmospheric performance.

Details & Listen
|
Exiles From Eden is the third album that Glenn Cardier released since his comeback album in 2002. This 2008 release is an absolute tour de force by the reclusive Australian singer-songwriter-guitarist. With Exiles From Eden, Glenn Cardier emphatically delivered on the 'promise'. "The most complete album of my career. This one seemed to take forever to make. Not in a bad way, but I wanted a fairly majestic production and it took time. Sometimes these collections seem like pieces from a soundtrack to a movie or something. They hang together." Glenn Cardier
