RETURNING TO AUSTRALIA’S SHORES THIS AUGUST CANADIAN COUNTRY ROCK LEGENDS THE ROAD HAMMERS RELEASE NEW SINGLE

Canadian country rock music legends, The Road Hammers, return to Australia this August. Appearing at the Gympie Muster, the band also release their new single in the lead up to the festival. Dirty Hands, Clean Money is the first release in 4 years from the multiple award winning, platinum selling trio.

Dirty Hands, Clean Money is a blue-collar battle cry; co-written with longtime brother-in-arms Tim Hicks, this track is all grit, guts, and gasoline -an unapologetic salute to the folks who punch the clock, fire up the grill, and make this country move. From muddy four-bys to half-paid-off diamond rings, Dirty Hands, Clean Money, celebrates the kind of honest work that money can’t buy and the kind of life that’s worth every drop of sweat. No flash, no filters – just real life, lived loud.

As Clayton Bellamy confirms, “Dirty Hands is a salute to all the people who make their money, the hard way. It’s a song for the folks who help build this country. And all the dirty mother truckers who keep the wheels turning making that clean money!”

About The Road Hammers:

Formed in 2004 by CCMA Hall of Famer Jason McCoy, The Road Hammers – featuring McCoy, Clayton Bellamy, and Chris Byrne – are Canada’s most celebrated country-rock trio. Renowned for their explosive fusion of gritty outlaw, classic country, and Southern rock, the band have racked up over 43 million career streams, earned multiple CCMA Awards, a JUNO Award, and achieved gold and platinum certifications.

They’ve toured worldwide, sharing the stage with legendary acts such as Nickelback, Chris Stapleton, The Scorpions, Def Leppard, Joe Diffie, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Jr., Marty Stuart, and Steve Earle, among others. Their raw sound and electrifying performances channel the gritty thrill of the open road, unleashing the spirit of adventure with every unforgettable, hard-hitting note.

McCoy and Bellamy are also co-owners of Skysong Records – a boutique label built by artists, for artists – alongside platinum-selling indie artist Dan Davidson and Calgary-based music executive and philanthropist Craig Senyk. The label is distributed via The Orchard globally and partnering with ABC Music in Australia.

With her gleaming vocals and soothing guitar, Aussie pop/country artist Chloe Styler is sharing her upbeat single ‘Push & Pull’ on Friday, August 15, ahead of her appearance at BIGSOUND 2025.

Her latest single ‘Push & Pull’ sees Chloe Styler stepping beyond her country roots, embracing a brighter, more melodic pop sound while still capturing the emotional core she’s known for. Her signature warmth and subtle country inflection remain, guiding the track through shimmering guitar lines, upbeat drum and irresistible hooks.

In this song, Chloe Styler explores the ups and downs, the hot and cold, the push and pull of a relationship and all the overthinking and arguments that come with it. She states:

“I wrote this in the aftermath of one of those situationships that truly messes with your head. The kind where they reel you in just to push you away again. I knew I didn’t want them back, but couldn’t help wondering why I was still so wrecked. This song was me being brutally honest about the emotional whiplash and saying, ‘Yeah, this sucks. And it’s not love, it’s just toxic.’

Through her natural talent for combining earworms with storytelling, Chloe Styler was named ‘Breakout Artist of the Year’ at the 2024 Gold Coast Music Awards, and has captivated the public worldwide, from Nashville’s CMA Fest and The Bluebird Café to supporting the likes of Shannon Noll, Jem Cassar-Daley and KINGSWOOD.

With energetic live performances at major festivals such as Falls Festival Byron Bay, Americana Fest (USA), Gympie Music Muster and Groundwater Country Music Festival, it’s no surprise she’s a notable act for the upcoming BIGSOUND 2025 music festival.

Chloe Styler will light up BIGSOUND 2025 with her magnetic live presence, unveiling ‘Push & Pull’, a dreaming, euphoric step beyond the country mould that first defined her.

Chloe Styler breaks new ground with her stunning release ‘Push & Pull’ on Friday, August 15.

KINGSWOOD UNVEIL NEW SINGLE “LOVIN’ A GIRL” – A RETURN TO THEIR COUNTRY ROCK ROOTS

Multi-Platinum & Gold ARIA-certified, ARIA-nominated, and 4x Golden Guitar-nominated powerhouse KINGSWOOD are back with their latest single, “Lovin’ A Girl” – a heartfelt, guitar-driven ode to classic Country Rock.

With over 90 million global streams and a career spanning more than a decade, KINGSWOOD have solidified their status as one of Australia’s most enduring and genre-defying bands. Known for seamlessly straddling the line between rock and country, the band’s new release plants its boots firmly in the dust of Americana, echoing the musical spirits of Neil Young, Gram Parsons, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

“Lovin’ A Girl” taps into the golden era of American songwriting – equal parts nostalgic and emotionally nuanced. With ringing guitars, warm harmonies, and a story steeped in the tension between desire and guardedness, the track explores the delicate dance of love and self-preservation.

Born from a love of vintage rock, country soul, and storytelling that lingers, KINGSWOOD is where Tom Petty meets Alan Jackson, and Johnny Cash shares a whiskey with Lynyrd Skynyrd – a perfect intersection of grit, groove and heart.

“Lovin’ A Girl draws from American song books of yesteryear,” the band says. “It’s a nostalgic echo from the days of guitar-driven classic country rock. The story is the ever-unfolding exploration of finding the ‘one,’ but with a healthy measure of reserve and uncertainty in the pursuit of true love. The safety of not being exposed or vulnerable. Imagined relationships with strangers cannot compromise the heart! Yee haw!”

This single sets the tone for KINGSWOOD’s forthcoming album – a pure country rock journey that reaffirms their place among Australia’s most versatile and authentic musical storytellers.

Fans of classic country rock will have the chance to experience KINGSWOOD’s new era live when they hit the stage at Gympie Music Muster, Savannah In The Round Festivals as well as The Bend Classic later this year and Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2026.

Co-written with acclaimed songwriters Tom Wolfe and Jared Adlam, the track reflects on the simple joys of childhood and the strong values shaped by growing up in the bush and being raised in the best country on earth.

This release follows a string of standout singles over the past few years including the chart-topping “Countrified”, the emotional “Dear Dad” , and crowd favourites “Always A Girl,” “The Way We Are,” “Set Your Sights”, “Find Myself A Dirt Road”, and the high-energy country rock anthem “My Kinda Crowd”.

Recognised for his genuine storytelling, compelling vocals, and electric stage presence, Will continues to captivate audiences across the country.

NSW South Coast troubadour Felicity Dowd is back with her catchiest and ‘countriest’ release yet – Rusty Nail – out Monday, August 11, ahead of a showcase appearance in Nashville in September.

Written while sitting in a campground before a festival last year, Rusty Nail leans into old-school country, with a raw acoustic edge and a driving fiddle-and-mandolin groove that brings the story to life.

“I cut my foot on a rusty nail was the first line I wrote,” Felicity said.

“It was completely random – I was just sitting around before a festival and having a bit of fun writing. Then I realised it actually hinted at something I’d been going through in my life. It started as this random idea, and then the rest of the song just came from there.”

“It was almost reminiscent of Pony or Dolly Parton – that old country vibe. And when I started playing it, I had so much fun. I thought, let’s lean into it. Let’s get some fiddle. Let’s get some mandolin.”

The track features Josh Schuberth on drums and Rod Motbey on guitar, with the addition of fiddle and mandolin to really drive the groove. It was also one of the first recordings Felicity has done without backing vocals – a move that gave the song an extra layer of grit.

“It is probably the countriest thing I’ve ever done,” she said.

“I’ve done a lot of serious releases – this one was written as a bit of fun, and it turned out to have this really cool vibe. I hope other people feel that too.”

Lyrically, “Rusty Nail” taps into deeper reflections about learning to face life’s challenges directly.

“Rather than running away from problems, I want to fix them,” Felicity said.

“When I was young, I thought I’d deal with the problem later, but eventually they spike back up. Letting problems sit for a while wasn’t making amends or fixing anything.”

The music video carries that theme visually, showing Felicity fixing a bike and riding back to civilisation- a simple metaphor for repairing what’s broken instead of walking away.

Rusty Nail follows a string of successful releases for the rising singer-songwriter. Felicity continues to add to her accolades that include being a two-time Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist, a recipient of TSA and Australian Songwriting Awards, and a graduate of the CMAA Academy of Country Music.

She will also showcase at AmericanaFest in Nashville this September.

Rusty Nail – August 11

Australian Folk Music Award’s Youth Artist of the Year (2023), Toyota Starmaker Grand Finalist (2024 + 2025), NSW Folk Federation Young Artist of the Year (2020), and Gill Rees Memorial Award winner at the 2023 National Folk Festival, Felicity Dowd is one of Australia’s most promising up-and-coming musicians!

Inspired by an eclectic and ever-changing landscape of genres her music is diverse, drifting between the boundaries of folk and country. She has always believed a song is only as good as its story, sharing stories of depth, heart, and humour that intertwine the experiences of the world around her. This ideology and passion have been noticed by industry professionals, having already earned this young songwriter 4x Tamworth Songwriting Association Salute Awards, including the 2023 New Songwriter of the Year at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

‘Blue Skies’, her first single released in early March 2021, debuted at number one on the Country Itunes chart and AMRAP chart in its first week. Her third single ‘Handle It’ achieved similar success being named the most downloaded track on Play MPE on release day as well as the number 2 position on the AMRAP chart and 3rd on the Country Itunes Chart. Now having released more singles, and her Debut EP in April 2024, she has found her unique sound amongst country and folk influences.

Hailing from the NSW South Coast, Felicity Dowd has wowed audiences across the country, from main stages at Australia’s most prestigious events (National Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, and the Tamworth Country Music Festival) to support slots with music royalty, the Bushwackers, Neil Murray (Warumpi Band), Josh Cunningham (The Waifs), Felicity Urquhart, Ash Grunwald, the Sunny Cowgirls, Fanny Lumsden and Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea).

Living full-time in her vintage 1976 Millard Caravan, suitably named “Joni Hitch-ell”, Felicity is traveling to a venue near you. So check out the dates page, grab some tickets, and don’t miss the chance to see this incredible artist live!

The official music video for Owen Smith’s cheeky single Upper Class Bogan is out today, August 8 – filmed entirely in Tamworth with a cast of Owen’s real-life mates bringing full bogan energy to the screen.

“I shot it myself and roped in some mates and it was 100% effort from everyone, and we had a lot of fun making it,” Owen said. “It captures exactly what the song is about; not taking ourselves too seriously and having a laugh.”

The release of the video follows a strong response to the single, which dropped on July 11 and was launched live at the 2025 Hats Off To Country festival in Tamworth. The track is gaining consistent radio airplay and is currently charting on the TMFM Top 20 Australian Country Music Chart.

Co-written with Golden Guitar winner Matt Scullion during the CMAA Academy of Country Music, Upper Class Bogan is a sharp, tongue-in-cheek look at modern Aussie culture.

“I was driving through Sydney and saw a Porsche four-wheel drive and thought, ‘Who goes out and buys a sports car that can fit 12 kids and six dogs?'” Owen said.
“That’s where the idea of Upper Class Bogan came from – people who’ve made it big but still love to live their best bogan life.”

Owen first performed the song at The Academy’s Graduation Concert in January 2024, joined by fellow students in Hawaiian shirts borrowed from Roger Corbett and Dobe Newton.

The track features a cast of seasoned country musicians:
🎶 Dobe Newton (spoons)
🎶 Matt Scullion (vocals)
🎶 Simon Johnson (bass and production)
🎶 Brad Bergen (guitar and drums)
🎶 Gabi Louise (fiddle)

Upper Class Bogan is receiving widespread radio support, including airplay from:

ABC Country (Grass Roots, Saturday Night Country)
Today’s Country 94One
Big Country Radio
Australian Country Radio
Tamar Valley Country
ABC stations across Australia
2SER
Capital Country Radio
Coral Coast Radio
TMFM
Logan FM
…and many more community stations.

The single is also featured on Apple Music’s New In Country playlist.

“This song has really helped build my audience,” Owen said. “It reflects who we are – and Aussies love a laugh at our own expense.”

TOM CURTAIN SHARES TITLE TRACK FROM HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM ‘HERE’S TO YOU’ + ANNOUNCES SHOW DATES

Multiple Golden Guitar winner Tom Curtain returns with his powerful new single ‘Here’s To You’, featuring the striking vocals of rising country star Laura Frank . As the title track from his forthcoming sixth studio album (out 22 August), this anthemic duet is a heartfelt tribute to the everyday heroes of Australia; the battlers, the tradies, the parents, the farmers, the “get-up-and-get-on-with-it” types who quietly keep the country moving.

‘Here’s To You’ was written on the road while touring remote regional towns; a reflection of the real stories and real people Tom meets every day. Produced by acclaimed songwriter and producer Garth Porter at Rancom Studios, the single brings to life the grit, resilience, and quiet pride of hardworking Australians.

“I’m incredibly grateful to be working with Garth Porter. Not only is he a phenomenal songwriter, but also an outstanding musician and producer,” Tom shares.

Tom isn’t your average country artist. Raised on a cattle and peanut farm in Kumbia, QLD, he found his musical voice while working on stations in the NT. Since his 2017 comeback album Territory Time shot to #1 on the iTunes Country Album Chart, he’s released critically acclaimed albums, won Golden Guitars, and travelled tens of thousands of kilometres bringing music and connection to the bush.

Tom is also a passionate ambassador for Dolly’s Dream and Farm Angels, using his platform to raise awareness around rural mental health and kindness. His tourism and entertainment venture, Katherine Outback Experience , has also won Gold at the Australian Tourism Awards three times in the last four years.

Performing with his family, horses, dogs, and a band of fellow musicians, Tom is known for his unique blend of country music and outback showmanship. Last summer, he performed 65 shows to 40,000 guests, including headlining Equitana in Melbourne, the southern hemisphere’s largest equine trade event, where he played to a crowd of 4,000.

Now, Tom is gearing up to hit the road again with the massive Here’s To You Tour, kicking off in early October.

“We start the Here’s To You Tour early October through to mid-April, touring through QLD, NSW, VIC and SA over 7 months, 70 shows with the horses, working dogs, musicians and family,” Tom says.

It’s the kind of tour only Tom Curtain could pull off. A blend of country music, bush culture, and community spirit that mirrors the very message behind ‘Here’s To You’. As with the song, the tour is a celebration of resilience, connection, and life on the land.

With its powerful message and soaring harmonies, ‘Here’s To You’ is more than a song, it’s a salute to those who give their all and ask for little in return. This one’s for them.
