2021 has begun and we knew we'd see a lot of new music from artists new and old but the breadth and diversity of these new tunes have blown us away! Sachem had a great debut year in 2020 and has released his latest track "Democracy", the song is a powerful track that touches on the Black Lives Matter movement here and in the USA. First Nations Led Punk Band 'Chasing Ghost's' have released their new track 'Summer' the song is described as a memorial of the sole survivor of the Tower Creek Massacre in 1856, “Baaba” (Babaang) Jack Scott, and all of those who lost their lives that day near Bellbrook NSW.
