Sydney-based artist Holly Wild turns the uncomfortable reality of friendship envy into something funny, self-aware and irresistibly catchy with new single So Annoying, out Friday 25 September alongside an accompanying music video. The punchy indie-pop rock track arrives ahead of Wild’s debut album Technicolour, due in October, and sees the artist embrace a grittier, more playful side of her developing sound.

It wouldn’t be The Long Road Festival without a little British weather. By the time I catch up with Bec O’Malley, the rain has well and truly arrived. Festivalgoers are soaking up everything falling from the sky while simultaneously soaking up the energy coming from the stages. And Bec O’Malley has plenty of it.
