CMC Rocks Festival
Willowbank Raceway – Ipswich, QLD
March 15 – 18th 2018
This was our first visit to the 11-year old CMC Rocks Festival, and it will not be the last – what a brilliantly-run, well-managed, relaxed and impressive festival this is, at least from the media viewpoint, but also from the punter’s angle. The venue is laid out around the two main stages, with bars, shops and food stalls all around, plenty of room to view both the stages, and lots of trees to shade under during the day.

NEON TETRA: THE END BEGINS AGAIN
Taken from their forthcoming EP Pollen, ‘The End Begins Again’ shines with synth-pop grooves. Josh Allen’s vocals soar, while the ever-present saxophone you heard from the onset of the song provides a lush sound that throws back to golden days of late 70’s, early 80’s pop. A natural progression for Neon Tetra, who spent 2017 impressing with refined sounds displayed on the catchy ‘Reflections’, ‘The End Begins Again’ is the perfect companion single to the band’s last dose of infectious hybrid synth-pop.
