Gyroscope. Australia keeps hidden a fair few great acts from the world and this is one of them. They have ALOT of songs and pretty much all of them are great. Most fans of Kisschasy are into them, but I'd recommend any rock fan take a listen.

Ellington. I'll try not to only talk about only Australian artists but there are just so many that deserve to be known. Ellington are a great two-person acoustic act, I hear they are branching out to a full band soon, should be good. Take a listen if you like Lydia, Dashboard Confessional or The Scene Aesthetic. They are using the online world to their benefit which got them on the homepage of purevolume. They have already recorded in america with some great names (Relient K, Say Anything, Lydia), I hope they do a really long tour over there :)

TV/TV are a really great power pop act, if you're sick of the throw away pop acts then give these guys a listen. Really fun stuff.

more amor is Tom Oakes, ex-guitarist and songwriter for The Higher and Kyle Lobeck, former youinseries frontman. It's really cute, powerpop stuff. I Iike it!

Jaguar Love are a really new find for me, simply from the Soundwave line-up. I really liked that this year will bring 10 completely new artists for me. These guys have a crazy sound, I really really like it. Think The Matches at their highest wave of madness.

One Track Listen
Biffy Clyro: Mountains
Empire Of The Sun: Walking On A Dream
Angus & Julia Stone: Just A Boy
Iglu & Hartly: In This City
Against Me!: Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart (Tegan Quin's collaboration)

I really wish you could sort your library by world plays or listeners, it would make this so much easier. Sometimes an act seems so familiar to you that you have no idea what size there fanbase is.
