Our Golden Friend are thrilled to welcome Melbourne’s Peak Twins to the Our Golden Friend label roster!

Peak Twins return with their second album, Beloved, out June 28. Following their self-titled debut LP from 2013, Beloved is a richly-rendered exercise in melodrama and melancholy. Today, the band share the debut single and video from Beloved, ‘Water’, premiering now at Weirdo Wasteland. The song had its radio premiere last week on Triple R’s Breaking & Entering.

James Frostick of Weirdo Wasteland describes Water as “a spectacular return to the spotlight for the group – setting a tone of emotional maturity and acceptance, no-doubt forged through the years of bruising and battering their soul has undergone in the period between recordings.”

Thanks to the song’s video, directed by Luke Byrne, ‘Water’ is accompanied by images of nature which have been inverted, made otherworldly. ‘Water’ is essentially a series of positive affirmations, the chorus of which reminds its listener that no matter how much strength one can muster: “Love don’t come easy at all”.

Beloved is out June 28 via Our Golden Friend. It’s available now to pre-order on blue vinyl.

Peak Twins launch ‘Water’ on May 17 at a Secret Collingwood Location alongside Sweet Whirl and Sleepless Nights (email info@ourgoldenfriend.com for the address).j

DANKO JONES
‘A ROCK SUPREME’
ALBUM OUT NOW

‘A Rock Supreme’ album out now through Indica Records
The hard rock group DANKO JONES – whose music was recently hailed by Ghost Cult for “mix[ing] the bite of AC/DC and the swagger of Thin Lizzy with an impressive Clutch-like ferocity” – have released their new album “A Rock Supreme”! Danko’s current single “Dance Dance Dance” just climbed to #138 in the German Airplay Charts making it the highest charting non-domestic Rock track at radio in Germany!

They will return to their home country of Canada to perform a series of shows in their native Ontario, including a headlining performance at the Agency for the Performing Arts (APA) showcase during Canadian Music Week (CMW). From there, the group will embark on their first Australian tour in more than a decade presented by Silverback Touring – after which they’ll head to Europe to perform at a number of high-profile events, including the Sweden Rock Festival, the Highfield Festival in Germany and a Helsinki concert alongside The Offspring.

“A Rock Supreme” – which was produced by Garth “Gggarth” Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Rise Against, Biffy Clyro) – is DANKO JONES’ follow-up to 2017’s acclaimed “Wild Cat,” which cracked the sales charts in Canada and eight European territories, achieving the group’s highest chart positions yet in Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerland. The album, which can be streamed in its entirety on Spotify, Apple Music and other digital platforms, can be ordered on CD or limited-edition ice blue gatefold vinyl at this location.

DANKO JONES – whose namesake front man contributed guest vocals to Volbeat’s 2017 #1 Active Rock hit “Black Rose,” a song he performed live with the group at their recent stadium show in Denmark (captured on the newly-released DVD/Blu-ray “Let’s Boogie! Live From Telia Parken”) – has made a name for themselves over the years as a must-see live band during memorable tours with the likes of Guns N’ Roses, Motörhead and Clutch. The group’s best-known material includes “Had Enough,” which earned the group their first gold and platinum singles in Sweden and has racked up more than 14 million Spotify streams; “Gonna Be A Fight Tonight,” which WWE used as the official theme song of the 2015 Royal Rumble; and “Lovercall,” their first of seven singles to crack the U.S. Active Rock Top 40.

DANKO JONES’ new album ‘A Rock Supreme’ is out now through Indica in Australia and New Zealand. Pre-Orders are available now at now at iTunes, Apple Music, JB Hi-Fi and Google Play!

RETURN OF THE 80’S
FEATURING
BRIAN MANNIX (UNCANNY X MEN), DALE RYDER (EX-BOOM CRASH OPERA), SCOTT CARNE (KIDS IN THE KITCHEN), ALLY FOWLER (CHANTOOZIES) & DAVE STERRY* (REAL LIFE)

Michael Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, Roxette, Billy Idol, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Robert Palmer… the eighties were undoubtedly a much more boundary-pushing era for music and pop culture as a whole. An era when the infamous words of “Eat My Shorts” was a narrative associated and popularised by Bart Simpson, though some may argue “The Breakfast Club”, and MTV created music’s superstars!

In the ultimate throwback to the decade of big hair and Rubik’s Cubes, the Ultimate 80’s Fluro Party will bring back those much loved 80’s anthems with a superstar band featuring those who helped popularize the music that was the landscape of the 80’s in Australia! Performing their own hits and the hits of other 80’s greats, this Fluro Party is the ultimate mix tape of 80s hits that has it all from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” to Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love” to Duran Duran’s “RIO” and MANY MORE.

Featuring Uncanny X Men’s Brian Mannix, ex-Boom Crash Opera’s Dale Ryder, Kids In The Kitchen’s Scott Carne, The Angels’ James Morley, Chantoozies’ Ally Fowler and Real Life’s Dave Sterry (*Melbourne & Perth only), this party also features a live DJ, Fluro body painters, best dressed prizes and a superstar light and staging show.

Brian Mannix was formerly the lead singer of 1980s Melbourne band Uncanny X-Men, known for their hits such as “The Party” [#18, 1985], “I Am” [#18, 1986], “Don’t Wake Me” [#31, 1986] and their biggest hit “50 Years” [#4, 1985] which featured on the band’s debut album, ‘Cos Life Hurts which peaked at #3 on the Australian Kent Music Report in 1985.

Dale Ryder fronted Boom Crash Opera – one of Australia’s most successful bands in the 80’s – since their inception in 1985 until 2016. As the band’s singer, Boom Crash Opera had a succession of hits including debut single “Great Wall” [#5 in 1986], “Hands Up In The Air” [#16, 1986], “Her Charity” [#32, 1987], “Onion Skin” [#11, 1989], ”Get Out Of The House” [#24, 1989], and many more.

Scott Carne was a founding member of Kids In The Kitchen. They enjoyed chart success with four top-20 hits on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles chart including “Change in Mood” [#10, 1983], “Bitter Desire” [#17, 1984], “Something That You Said” [#19, 1985] and “Current Stand” [#12, 1985]. Their debut album Shine was the 16th-biggest selling album of 1985.

Ally Fowler was one of the four female lead vocalists of the 80’s band Chantoozies, which had top 10 hits with a cover version of “Witch Queen” [#4, 1987] and original tracks “Wanna Be Up” [#6, 1988], and top 40 peaks for “He’s Gonna Step on You Again” [#36, 1987] and Kiss ‘n’ Tell” [#25, 1988]. Their debut album peaked at #8 in 1988.

Dave Sterry from Melbourne 80s New Age band Real Life, achieved international chart success with their 1983 singles “Send Me an Angel” and “Catch Me I’m Falling”. “Send Me An Angel” reached the top 30 in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the USA. Both singles appeared on the band’s debut album, Heartland, released in 1983.

It’s time to get big and bold! It’s time to pull out your dusty “CHOOSE LIFE” T-Shirts and it’s time to get totally amped to celebrate the 80’s in style! Word!
