ABOUT US: 
We aim to connect lesser-known Australian music with listeners who want to hear it!

WHAT WE DO:
We curate new release playlists, as well as playlists tailored to each generation. You can hear the playlists here.

We bring you unbiased reviews and recommendations of new music. We also distribute a weekly email newsletter The Weekly Worm which you can sign up for here.

WHAT WE DON'T DO:
Did you know that the vast majority of online music magazines only publish reviews of indie music in exchange for monetary payment?!

We neither request nor accept payment for any kind of coverage or playlist inclusion. Every song we include on a playlist is purely because we think our listeners will love it. Every album and artist we review is purely because we think you should know about them. As such, we are proudly unbiased and proudly supporting indie artists without charging them any money.

OUR PLAYLISTS: All our playlists are on Spotify, which despite being a poor source of income for small artists, nevertheless remains the most effective platform for indie artists to get their music heard, at least for now. Our current playlists are:

🟢 FRESH OUT THE GATE (new releases from artists with up to 500 followers; updates fortnightly)

🟡 HEAR IT FIRST (new releases from artists with up to 25,000 followers; updates fortnightly)

🟤 Plus twelve 2025 genre playlists! All of these can be found here - be sure to follow the ones that interest you!

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
To get involved as a listener, follow the playlists on Spotify and sign up to receive The Weekly Worm. And of course keep up to date with us on Instagram!

Artists can submit their music here and then make sure to follow the playlists on Spotify and follow us on Instagram (we will follow you back on both platforms!).
