With her debut single, Jo Page announces herself as a fearless new voice in Australian country rock. Produced by ARIA Award–winner Matt Fell and co-written with Golden Guitar Award–winner Kevin Bennett, “Fire In His Eyes” fuses flamenco fire, outlaw grit, and fierce yet haunting vocals that cut straight to the bone. The listener is taken on a journey in this brooding, cinematic western epic – galloping through thick guitar riffs and a flamenco-driven bridge. The track sets the tone for Page’s upcoming EP — a collection that moves between soul-stirring ballads and rock-infused country anthems.“‘Fire in His Eyes’ was inspired by the cowboy myth of my Dida (Grandpa) and the darker reality of my father – a mysterious, badass story with spaghetti western grit and a touch of Mediterranean fire. It’s the song I’ve always wanted to hear, the one I blast loud to feel in my chest, and I can’t believe it finally exists to share with the world.”

Laura T Davis Not Your Fault
Laura T Davis is back with a fearless new country rock anthem that will get boots stomping and hearts pounding. Standing just 5ft tall, she may be tiny, but there is nothing small about her voice, her story, or her message.Laura first stepped onto the country music scene in 2018 with her debut single “ Forgotten Town”, warmly embraced by the Australian country community. She followed with “ Rather Live in the Country”, featuring legendary guitarist Mal Eastick, before igniting stages at the 2019 Tamworth Country Music Festival and gaining strong media attention.In 2020, she released “ Make It Till Christmas”, produced by ARIA and Golden Guitar winner Matt Fell. The single became her most successful to date, earning a finalist spot in the Australian Songwriting Awards and a feature in the Sydney Morning Herald’s “Best Christmas Albums of 2020” alongside Dolly Parton and Delta Goodrem. Its film clip, directed by Golden Guitar winner and The Voice finalist Duncan Toombs, further cemented her reputation as a rising voice in country music.Now, five years later, Laura reunites with Matt Fell for her most powerful release yet – “ Not Your Fault” . More than just music, this track is a reclamation of power and an anthem for survivors.
As a teenager, Laura endured a violent sexual assault – an experience that shaped both her artistry and her determination to survive. She poured her pain into more than 30 songs, touring across Australia before finding peace in the sugarcane fields of the Northern Rivers, NSW. There she reconnected with her roots, her resilience, and her voice.
“Not Your Fault is my truth, my stand, and my message,” Laura shares. “ It’s for every survivor who has ever blamed themselves. It takes courage to look in the mirror and say; it’s not your fault. This song is a best friend, a battle cry, and a beacon of hope.”Opening with stripped-back vocals before erupting into pounding drums and tribal undertones, the song builds into a chorus that is both haunting and uplifting. Its spirit is raw yet empowering. “ The first time you listen you might cry. The second time you listen you’ll heal. The third time you listen you’ll be ready for action.”
Laura T Davis is not just a singer-songwriter; she is a survivor using her voice to empower others. With “ Not Your Fault”, she stands tall for herself and for women everywhere, proving that strength can grow from pain and that courage can be contagious.
DREW BALDRIDGE REWRITES THE RULES OF REBELLION WITH NEW SINGLE “REBEL”
Country star Drew Baldridge is redefining what it means to be rebellious with his powerful new single, “ Rebel”
Written by Baldridge and Adam Sanders, and produced by Zach Crowell and Nick Schwarzstands as an anthem for holding fast to your convictions. Turning the traditional idea of rebellion on its head, Baldridge challenges what it means to push back, trading chaos for character and celebrating integrity, faith, and family as the ultimate acts of defiance. With its soaring chorus and driving production, “Rebel” channels the strength it takes to stay true in a world that often rewards compromise.
Anchored by lyrics like “I’m gonna stand my ground / Ain’t gonna back down / Make sure my last name ain’t stained and stands on integrity / I’m gonna stay true to my woman / And true to my roots,” Baldridge delivers a message that’s both timeless and timely; a declaration that these days staying true to your word is the most radical thing of all. The song honors the quiet strength of consistency, loyalty, and setting a good example. It’s about character and doing what’s right even when no one’s watching.
“I wrote this song after noticing how often the wrong things get glorified,” said Baldridge. “Doing the right thing can feel rebellious, and I hope fans – and my son – see that being a rebel here is actually a good thing. The song celebrates doing the right thing even when it’s not the ‘cool’ or easy choice.”
With his signature mix of small-town grit, heart, and honesty, Baldridge continues to forge a genuine connection with fans through songs that champion his core pillars of farm, faith, and family. He’s currently bringing that message to audiences across Australia and New Zealand while opening for Jelly Roll on the Down Under 2025 Tour. After returning to the U.S. for a brief stint, Baldridge will head overseas once again to close out the year with his first-ever UK and European headlining run, the Country Born Tour.
