Australia has its fair share of mega rock bands. Steeped in Ozzie rock-folklore, groups like AC/DC, LRB & Cold Chisel are well known the world over, you could probably also add rockers Jet to that ever-burgeoning list.

B*Witched

By Wal Reid

Remember nineties pop all-girl group B*Witched? I don’t care who you are, but if you don’t then you’re obviously lying, a malingerer of the highest order. I mean who doesn’t remember that annoying ditty of a tune C'est la Vie?

Kaylee Bell

‘New Zealand’ and ‘country music’ have never particularly had a strong relationship with one another, however this may all be about to change if the determination and already striking success of our very own country singer-songwriter, Kaylee Bell is anything to go by.
