The Reklaws – Never Drinking Again

THE REKLAWS DELIVER FEEL-GOOD SUMMER ANTHEM “NEVER DRINKING AGAIN”

Raise a solo cup to the anthem heard across the country every weekend – multi-double-PLATINUM sibling duo The Reklaws are back to toast the summer with their latest single, “Never Drinking Again”, a tongue-in-cheek, high-energy track that captures the all-too-familiar post-party promise we’ve all made… and broken.”

Launching an exciting new era for the chart-topping pair, “Never Drinking Again” sees The Reklaws leaning back into the infectious, light-hearted spirit that first rocketed them to national fame.

“Started with one / Turned to two / Three sheets to the wind…” – the track explodes with relatability, blending singalong hooks and clever lyrical turns that nod to the universal truth of late nights and empty promises.

“It’s been a wild few years of writing and putting out music that we needed to share, so we weren’t entirely sure what was going to come out of us as we sat in writing rooms over the past few months – but the fun songs just started pouring out,” shared Stuart Walker. “We’re so excited to finally share new tunes and dedicate a summer to having more fun than ever before”.

After spending the past few months deep in writing mode, The Reklaws are emerging with music that feels true to the songs that made them a household name across the nation. With plans for their biggest live show yet and more new music on the horizon, The Reklaws are turning up the volume – literally and figuratively – and making it clear they’re heading straight back to their weekend-loving, glass-raising roots.

ABOUT THE REKLAWS:

The Reklaws are a one-of-a-kind duo made up of siblings Jenna and Stuart Walker and are one of Canadian country’s most decorated and beloved acts. From their breakout hit “Long Live the Night”, which became the CFL’s official theme in 2018/19, to their viral smash “What the Truck” with SACHA (the fastest Canadian country single to go PLATINUM in the streaming era), the duo have consistently pushed boundaries.

Their music resonates well beyond Canada’s borders – with “Honky Talkin’ About” (feat. Drake Milligan) not only hitting #1 at Canadian radio, but also breaking into Australia’s Countrytown Top 50 Country Airplay Chart at #10. Their single “One Beer Away” also made waves, reaching #20 on the same chart, signalling a growing fanbase down under.

In 2023, The Reklaws earned three JUNO nominations (TikTok Fan’s Choice, Group or Duo of the Year, and Country Album of the Year), hosted the CCMA Awards, and won Top Selling Canadian Album for their 2022 release Good Ol’ Days.

With 8 JUNO nominations, 8 CCMA Awards, 4 #1 hits, 2 DOUBLE PLATINUM, 8 PLATINUM, and 13 GOLD singles – plus 300M+ global streams and five of the top 20 streamed singles by a Canadian country act since 2019 – The Reklaws continue to redefine what it means to be modern country stars. Their debut album Freshman Year remains the most domestically streamed debut album in Canadian country history.

The Wolfe Brothers feat. Zac & George – How Many One More Times

AUSTRALIA’S MOST SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY DUO ANNOUNCE THEIR NEW ALBUM, ‘AUSTRALIAN MADE’, COMING AUGUST 29. THEIR NEW SINGLE WITH ZAC & GEORGE RELEASED TODAY

With 10 x Golden Guitars under their belt and a further 2 x Countrytown Awards, The Wolfe Brothers, announce their 7th studio album, Australian Made. Produced by Nick Wolfe and Rod McCormack, the album features collaborations with Kaylee Bell, Lee Kernaghan and the new single released with Zac & George.

Thematically, Tom talks about the album, “If you know anything about Nick and I, you will know that we are very proud to be Australian. There was a time a few years back where Nick and I were going to move over to America. We had everything lined up including a major US recording deal – we were all set and ready to call another country home. The only problem was that’s not our home. This is our home, our friends are here, our family is here and the stories we want to celebrate are about Australia in all its diversity.

It’s the right time for Australian Made. There is currently a huge country music boom happening here in Australia and worldwide, which we think is absolutely fantastic. We wanna raise our hands up and be that Australian voice for the next generation and do it in our way. The best things in life are Australian Made.”

To coincide with the announce of the album, The Wolfe Brothers drop their new single with Zac & George, How Many One More Times. As Nick describes the new single, “We’re really proud to be releasing our new single, “How Many One More Times,” because it comes from a place that feels real, honest, and close to the heart. We’ve all been guilty of saying, ‘Yeah, I’ll catch up with them next time’ or ‘I’ll make that call tomorrow’. But life has a way of reminding you that nothing’s guaranteed. This song is our little reminder to ourselves – and hopefully to everyone who hears it – to make today count. To call that friend. To have that drink. To say what you need to say. The truth is, you never really

know when those “one more times” are going to run out. And that’s what this song is about – appreciating the moment you’re in right now, because it could be the last time you get to.”

From Zac & George, “If you told 20-year-old Zac & George they would be in a writing room in the next 5 years with the Wolfe Brothers, they would have asked you to repeat the statement. Then they would have said to themselves ‘we’re gonna write a banger with the Wolfies’. Walking into the writing room, we were all thinking the same thing – an upbeat, country radio bop. However, the mood took a slight turn and headed into a very vulnerable place. We quickly began talking about life, taking chances in our careers, and spending time with loved ones. The phrase “how many one more times” was said and from there the song pretty much wrote itself. We are so pumped to be putting out a song with our idols, and now also good mates, this July. Who knows, we may just have to do this another “one more time”

Announced as Ambassadors for the Gympie Muster 2025, The Wolfe Brothers will launch their album at the festival.

Cody Walker – Six String Shooter

‘Six String Shooter’, Cody Walker’s second single to be released in as many months.
Cody follows up his debut single with an equally deep dive into the themes of life’s darker corners, mental health, pain, purpose and the story telling of the calm in the chaos.

An instrument that now looking back was wielded as a defensive weapon, ‘Six String Shooter’ speaks for itself, again blending a powerful, gritty voice, with soul soaked lyrics and distorted guitars, it challenges the idealism of what we are to do, when the devil on the left and the angel on the right, argue over that crossroads we are standing at.

Imogen Clark – Choking on Fuel

Imogen Clark’s new album ‘Choking on Fuel’ is already kicking her 2025 into high gear. The last few weeks have seen Imogen return to the UK for a sold-out headline tour and performance at Maverick festival, and land on the lineup of this year’s AMERICANAFEST in Nashville (alongside artists like Kashus Culpepper, Kip Moore, Jade Bird, Rodney Crowell and Ruston Kelly). The reviews continue to glow, take a gander…

Thanks to all of you out there at radio that have been supporting the record, spinning the songs far and wide around the globe and bringing Imogen’s infectious, heartfelt songwriting to music lovers everywhere…

Nashville-via-Sydney singer-songwriter Imogen Clark is getting high octane and back to the nitty gritty with her new album ‘Choking on Fuel’. After a breakneck year of non-stop touring, returning to her roots armed with an acoustic guitar, Imogen is rolling out a record that captures the intensity, vulnerability, musical dexterity and vocal power that characterizes her compelling live performances.

“I spent last year on the road around the world, playing headline shows but also touring with Robyn Hitchcock, Steve Poltz, BOWEN * YOUNG and Andrew Farriss”, Imogen explains. “So many people have messaged me or commented on my social media to say that they would love to have an album that captured the spirit of what I do live, and that’s what this is”.

The album puts Imogen’s rich, devastating vocals front and center, foregrounding her deft, cutting lyrics and affecting melodies. The record runs the emotional gamut from the wry, incendiary All Hard Feelings (with 70s style backing vocals from co-writers Sinead Burgess and Blake O’Connor, who also tears up a blistering slide guitar solo), a high-octane harmonica solo on The Art of Getting Through from the legendary Mickey Raphael, the sexy bluegrass raveup of Sebastian (where Imogen is backed by Aussie grassers Midnight Chicken) to the raw, powerful anthem The Last of Me (with My Morning Jacket’s Bo Koster on propulsive piano), the road not taken nightmare of Squinters (a co-write with Steve Poltz powered by Bryan Sutton’s nuanced acoustic guitar), a fiery Nebraska-esque anthem If I Want In (featuring ARIA-winner Ella Hooper) to the delicate, timeless wisdom of If Your Heart Never Breaks (featuring gorgeous harmonies from co-writer Jim Lauderdale and a dexterous and beautiful guitar from the iconic Tommy Emmanuel).

An unexpected closing note comes with a radical reinterpretation of the classic Sheryl Crow / Jeff Trott anthem ‘If It Makes You Happy’, reimagined as a vulnerable duet with Imogen’s tourmate and Americana UK Live Act of the Year Kezia Gill. Aussie fans will expect to see it on the setlist when Imogen and Kezia head down under for a co-headline tour in October.

“I’ve gotten to know and write with Jeff Trott since I’ve been living in Nashville,” Imogen explains. “After hearing him explain how he began writing this song late one night on the piano, it sparked the idea of approaching the song from that point of view. Having Kez sing it with me added so much extra magic to this version of one of my all-time favorite songs”.

Mack & Cook – Time Goes By

Mack & Cook Release New Country-Soul Single ‘Time Goes By’

Acclaimed duo Murray Cook (OG Red Wiggle) and his musical accomplice, Lizzie Mack – as Mack & Cook – are set to release a new single, ‘Time Goes By’.

A relaxing slow-burn country-soul track that reflects on the winding roads we wander in our lives. With warm acoustic textures and heartfelt instrumentation, the song captures the beauty of learning through experience, embracing life’s lessons with grace, and trusting in the road ahead.

Haven ridden many roads, and planes together – as the Red Wiggle and Soul Moving team of the past four albums and ten years playing some of Australia’s most-loved festivals, Murray and Lizzie brings the track to life with a generous finesse – layering guitar, mandolin, and bass with an expert touch. Paired with Lizzie Mack’s warm and evocative vocals and lyrical presence, the result is a moving, genre-blurring sound that fans have already come to love in recent live shows.

“Like a good glass of red, you’re bound to savour every magical minute,” fans at Murray’s local, The Gasoline Pony, were agreeing last Saturday afternoon – in awe of the full, transportative sound Mack & Cook have created.

Having dabbled on the fringes of country-soul and Americana in so many on the song collaborations recorded with The Swampers (at Muscle Shoals Sound, Alabama) and at Jimmy Nuts “Nut House” (Florence, Alabama – playing with Kelvin Holly – Little Richard’s guitarist of the past 15 years) on songs like ‘Burned Out’, ‘Start All Over Again’ and ‘You Say That You’re Leaving’ this time the duo set out to “put the Australian in Americana – as a Nannup Music Festival programmer happily stated on first hearing ‘Time Goes By’.

Excited to be collecting the “Best of the B Sides” and retracing some of the touring routes of country legends such as Slim Dusty, Murray and Lizzie plan to take their music to country fans sharing a brand-new track and music video to launch ‘Time Goes By’ down the East Coast, which captures the essence of timelessness and looking to the future, no matter which leg of life’s journey you are on.

Quotes:

“These are our stories, the most satisfying part of our lives over the last decade has been sharing them with folks who are up for a listen and to enjoy feeling that connection between our hearts, minds and souls. Playing multiple instruments and contribute musical ideas in more sophisticated musical ways has been deeply rewarding. At this age and stage, we are reaching for some kind of musical mastery or completion – and I really feel I’m finding that now in the music Lizzie and I are making.” Murray Cook

“Now having played their first handful of shows – and with more on the horizon – Mack & Cook have just released their first single ‘Time Goes By’, a classic-sounding country-soul number with Mack’s ultra-expressive vocals offering a soothingly existential treatise on life’s journey “I said to someone just the other day, it’s good that we’re all getting old at the same rate,” Lizzie Mack chuckles. “We’re really proud of this as our first recorded song… Time waits for no acoustic duo – so off we go – it’s time to hit the road!”.

Jess Moskaluke – I Ain’t Country

Platinum-certified, JUNO and CCMA Award-winning country powerhouse Jess Moskaluke is back with a brand-new anthem, and she’s not holding anything back. “I Ain’t Country” is a bold, spirited track that pushes past the boundaries of genre stereotypes while firmly planting its roots in Moskaluke’s signature sound and honest storytelling.

“I Ain’t Country” offers fans an unfiltered look into Moskaluke’s journey through the expectations and assumptions that have shadowed her as a modern country artist. With a strong message of self-definition, the track breaks away from the question of what should sound “country” and instead embraces the artist’s deeply personal truth.

“I Ain’t Country is a song about feeling misunderstood,” says Moskaluke. “Throughout my career, I’ve faced challenges about whether I’m ‘country enough.’ I’ve even added banjos to songs that didn’t need them just to meet other people’s expectations. I wrote this song in the hopes that people will understand that country music is more than just music – it’s a lifestyle. I’m happy with my wheat field backyard and red barn front yard right here in small-town Canada, writing songs that feel true to me. And if that ain’t country, then I don’t know what is.”

True to her fearless and genre-defying creativity, “I Ain’t Country” blends raw lyricism with a hook-laden melody that is both empowering and unshakably catchy. It’s a sonic declaration of independence – one that reaffirms Moskaluke’s place as a trailblazer in Canadian country music.

ABOUT JESS MOSKALUKE:

Internationally celebrated artist Jess Moskaluke continues to break barriers in country music with her powerful voice, pop-infused hooks, and sonic versatility.

The first Canadian female country artist since Shania Twain to achieve Canadian Platinum single status with the hit “Cheap Wine and Cigarettes,” Moskaluke celebrated the 10th anniversary of its release last year with newly reimagined mixes of the fan-favourite track.

She has since gone on to earn Canadian Gold certifications for “Take Me Home,” “Kiss Me Quiet,” “Knock Off,” and her first NUMBER ONE, “Country Girls.” Notably, she became the first Canadian female country artist since 2008 to have a song in the Top 3 with “Drive Me Away.” The 2017 JUNO Award winner for Country Album of the Year, Moskaluke has taken home multiple CCMA Awards, including Album of the Year (2018) and Female Artist of the Year (3X consecutive). She is also a 2017 SOCAN Award winner, the 2020 WCM Award winner for Country Artist of the Year, and a 2024 Women In Music Canada Honours nominee for Artist of the Year.

Her 2021 album, The Demos, included an ode to her hometown with the hit single “Mapdot,” and in 2022, Moskaluke embarked on the Mapdot Tour, her first national headlining run, which saw multiple sold-out dates across Canada. Building her international reputation, Moskaluke has had notable plays at the C2C Music Festival in both Australia and the United Kingdom and with deep roots in the US, her creativity knows no borders.
