Did You Hear Piggietails Self-Titled LP

I know for a fact there is at least one person in the world that comes to this site to see what we’re unearthing from the Australian scene, as we love to cover the region’s sound. Piggietails popped up on our radar a few weeks back with a single from their self-titled LP; it reminded me of the the sort of disinterested pop that was coming out of Melbourne in the mid-2010 era. Their album fulfills on all those promises, with various members taking over the role of vocalist, so while the sound might be subtle, the charms change in and out, leaving you with a lasting impression that’ll have you coming back. Personally, I’ve been digging “And I’m Alright” and its circular craft, but that’s just me! Check out Piggietails, courtesy of Spoilsport Records.

Piggietails Drop CDs

August 20, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Up and coming Melbourne outfit Piggietails were only recently introduced to us over here at ATH, but with another solid number coming our way, it’s hard to ignore the new act as they push towards the release of their self-titled debut. If you’re a fan of the Aussie scene, you’ll hear some faint similarities, as the band can’t have avoided the sweet jangles of their homeland. But, with that in mind, they seem to take a broader brushstroke on this one, sort of embracing a Velvet Underground approach to letting the music make its own path, discarding all adherence to style in favor of just letting it rip. Stoked to hear the group making this sound all their own, putting Piggietails on my own personal anticipatory list; it drops via Spoilsport Records on September 19th.

Piggietails Announce Self-Titled Debut

July 31, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

For those of you that have followed the Australian scene over the last however-long, there’s a distinctive sound that’s been omnipresent for the last two decades (and beyond); it’s a sound that has elements of Flying Nun and nods to Go Betweens all about, and perhaps tragically labeled as dole-wave. But, in the end, acts like Piggietails make it all worth it, as the charm of his style never fades. The group announced their debut LP, and it’s working with this really steady and snappy beat that allows for the circular jangling to get you caught up in your feelings. A softened vocal comes in, presenting you with this calmed effect that seems intertwined with the musical vibe, just kind of bobbing up and down on the rhythm. They’ll release Piggietails on September 19th via Spoilsport Records.
