discover new australian music

We love this list. Not just because it shines the spotlight on the 25 most played tracks on triple j Unearthed radio so far in 2013, but also because it’s a great reflection of the diversity and stellar quality of music that comes through triplejunearthed.com. This list has a little bit of everything including brash industrial dance music, low-slung hip hop, jittery lo-fi pop and beguiling singer songwriters. There’s hoarse-throated punk from Adelaide, woozy electronic indie out of Wollongong and overblown Perth glam rock. At the top of the heap sits Melbourne solo artist Fractures with ‘Twisted’, a tune which won over listeners, triple j presenters and artists alike with Spit Syndicate giving ‘Twisted’ a reverential big-up when they guest programmed triple j Unearthed radio.
