“The imminent third record from rock quintet Boy & Bear will bolster their ranks” Kathy McCabe News Limited
“Folk-pop ensemble stay fresh with album number three” Rolling Stone Magazine Australia
“Loaded with tasteful yet sumptuous melodies” Simon Collins, The West Australian
“Their strongest yet, blending all their preceding strengths into a record brimming with character” The Brag
“Their power as a live outfit translate into their music-making process with their most refined effort to date” The Music
“Another successful album in Australia” Craig Mathieson, SMH/THE AGE
“This album captures a band at the height of their powers, both as live performers and collective composers this time around “ Speaker TV
“Boy & Bear capture the essence of Australia in music that is earnest and authentic, which rarely fails to evoke emotion” Howl & Echoes
“A stripped back record that cuts to the heart of what has brought them critical and commercial acclaim” Beat Magazine
Written together as a full band and recorded live to tape with Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs), Boy & Bears third studio album Limit Of Love is out today. Recorded in the inspirational surroundings of Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studio, Limit Of Love has already been met with great praise across the country.
The first single released from the album, Walk the Wire, fuelled by a gritty guitar and synth groove was instantly added to Triple J (reaching #1 Most Played) and the Triple M Network. Driving the success of the song at radio and online has been the hilarious and somewhat out-of-character video for Walk The Wire, directed by award winners Darcy Prendergast and Josh Thomas from the Oh Yeah Wow, (Goyte, The Paper Kites, Hermitude).
A live video of first and current single Walk the Wire was recently filmed and recorded at Sydney’s Studio 301 giving fans a sneak peek of the outstanding and reputable live performance of the Sydney 5-piece.
Anyone who has seen five-time ARIA winners Boy & Bear perform will attest to their power as a live outfit. With three full-length albums and hundreds of hours of gigs under their belt, the Sydney band will also be taking their live show to Europe and the USA next month with the Australian National ‘Limit Of Love’ Album Tour to follow early 2016.

RÜFÜS DROP NEW SINGLE & VIDEO ‘LIKE AN ANIMAL’ AND ANNOUNCE ALBUM #2 TITLE ‘BLOOM’
Just weeks out from kicking off their first tour on home soil in over a year, RÜFÜS bring us Like An Animal, the second single from their forthcoming sophomore album set to be titled Bloom. The single is everything you wanted to hear from the Sydney trio, who continue to impress as they pioneer their own clever blend of melodic pop-euphoria.
The official video accompanying the release is a collaboration between director Katzki and visual artist Jack Vanzet. It is the band’s most immersive video yet, a psychedelic journey of three friends to an instinct-driven paradise.
Iconically RÜFÜS, Like An Animal has hooks for days and we dare you not to sign along as they bring their live show back to AUS. You can catch RÜFÜS playing a number of shows around the country this October where they’ll be joined by Sweat It Out mainstay Cassian, and breakout duo YUMA X, before they venture abroad for their North American Tour (full list of dates below).
Like An Animal is the second bite of the forthcoming RÜFÜS LP, Bloom, and while we can’t tell you too much about the album just yet (release date // tracklist TBA), we sat lead singer Tyrone Lindqvist down to fill you in a little more. ”We just put all the cliches about second albums out of our minds and tried to write something that we would want to listen to right now,” he says. “The title came pretty easily, even before we finished the album we knew we wanted to call it Bloom. It fitted where we were at with the music, and also where we were at creatively.”
Like An Animal will be available via Sweat It Out Music on September 25
Further details on album #2, Bloom coming soon

MONTAIGNE DELIVERS SPECTACULAR VIDEO FOR ‘CLIP MY WINGS’
A few weeks out from kicking off her extensive national tour, Sydney avant-pop heroine, Montaigne has delivered a fittingly spectacular video for new single, Clip My Wings.
Directed by Guy Franklin and John Gavin, the video was filmed by Edward Goldner and produced by Haley Polacik and Saskia Vaneveld at Pixel Melbourne, the team responsible for Montaigne’s Fantastic Wreck clip and works for Kimbra amongst others.
Perfectly complementing the song’s grandeur and sure to set tongues wagging for all the right reasons, the video is set in an expansive desert and shows the striking pop starlet being dramatically thrust about by unseen energies. There is falling and flying and an astoundingly commanding performance from Montaigne, not to mention a magnificent finish.
“I didn’t come up with the plotline, but I did drive the inspiration behind it visually as I had the very distinct idea of falling and flying in my head, not because of the ‘wings’ metaphor, but because I am obsessed with this video game called Kingdom Hearts – a game which formed much of my creative style,” explains Montaigne. “I referenced very particular moments in the introductory sequences from the games and Guy, John, Haley and their team turned it in to the narrative that you see. Kingdom Hearts explores dreaming, memory and connections to others in a fantastical and surreal way with which I’ve always been enamoured.”
Co-written, produced and mixed by Tony Buchen (The Preatures, Andy Bull) and recorded at Albert Studios, Clip My Wings is about the value of autonomy and standing up for what you believe in. Already receiving substantial radio support from Triple j and community radio across the country, it boasts a bigger sound for Montaigne and an even more opulent and dramatic melody than what we’ve heard from this vocally gifted songstress.
“Clip My Wings is about attempting to push back against your oppressors,” explains Montaigne. “I am resilient and have become more self-confident, I am less afraid to stand up for myself and my self-belief and I am expressing that through this song.”
Montaigne will tour Clip My Wings next month, taking her full band on the road: Neil Anderson (keys), Gus Gardener (bass) and Miles Thomas (drums). Kicking off at Jimmy’s Den in Perth on October 3, moving through to Mandurah, Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Mullumbimby before finishing up at the Gorgeous Festival in McLarenvale on November 28. She’ll then be jumping back on the road through January/February to support Boy & Bear on their national Limit of Love tour.
Tickets to the Clip My Wings national tour are on sale now (see below for full list of dates and ticketing outlets).
