A merry Tunesday to you, frankie friends! We have a wee exclusive for you this morn, direct from the Gold Coast hinterland and sunny shores of Byron Bay.

The best cure for long weekend withdrawals is some soothing tunes to ease you into the working week, so we're writing you a prescription for a hefty dose of The Milk Carton Kids.

Feeling nostalgic for the sunshine-filled days of summer and all those action-packed music festivals that go with it? Allow us to take you on a casual mosey down memory lane.

The duo rocked our shores for the very first time in April, and loved you all so darn much that they're heading back in July to do it all again.

You might think there's something a wee bit egotistical about profiling a band that shares our name, but we couldn't go past the sunny melodies from indie rock band Frankie & the Heartstrings.

This talented lass discovered her gift at a super young age, when we were busy warbling woefully into our hairbrushes and prancing around the backyard like ponies.

With their new album Trouble Will Find Me due out this Friday, the Brooklyn-based bunch are Byron bound to play the new-and-improved Splendour in the Grass in July.

Tomorrow these fine fillies kick off a series of album launch events around the country, and we are jump-out-of-our-seats excited to get down to their new tunes in a live setting.

Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens are a seven-piece band who've proven that there's more goodness to come out of our nation's capital than fireworks and girly mags.

The soothing music of indie duo Rhye was first gifted to us on a personalised mixtape, and we're forever in musical debt to our generous pal.
