This one's been a long time coming &mdash; **Civic Video** is back.

Their debut EP, "*Making Room For Others"*, is here, and they're taking it up and down the east coast to celebrate. Straight off a run of sold-out shows, the Sydney indie rock four-piece are bringing a brand new live show packed with new songs, old favourites and plenty of energy.

Equal parts fresh and nostalgic, Civic Video write honest, heart-on-sleeve songs inspired by DMAs, Gang of Youths and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Live, they pair the emotion of Holy Holy with the energy of Sam Fender &mdash; delivering shows that are both intimate and anthemic.

It's been a huge year for the band, sharing stages with Daily J, Letters to Lions, The Vanns, South Summit and Beddy Rays. Now they're stepping into the spotlight for their EP headline shows, bringing *"Making Room For Others"* to some of their favourite venues.

Check it out!

At long last, one of the most vital bands to ever help start the movement are finally bringing their legacy-level, household hardcore anthems to Aus & NZ!

**Negative Approach**. Yep, that one. Formed back in 81 and thought to be gone soon after, NA left us a short but permanent set of songs that still stand strong above the majority to this day.

Reformed again only in 06, they pummelled their way right back through with even more fury than round 1. No cash grab reunion, no bullshit, just vital hardcore for the ages here in full force. Be there or remain irrelevant.

Four on The Floor, Interfonic & Subtropic team up for a Halloween special featuring Evan Baggs.

The American-born, Germany-based artist is fueled by a deep passion for record digging and an ear for undiscovered gems; Evan's sets hint toward breaks, broken beat, electro and acid &mdash; all effortlessly mixed together. Meanwhile, his own studio productions have been released on the labels of like-minded global selectors Francesco Del Garda, Binh, Ryan Elliott, DJ Masda and many others.

Focused more on the music than the spotlight, Evan's sustained and organic rise has earned him a loyal following amongst both discerning crowds and fellow DJs. When not in the studio or the record shop, he can be found playing at the likes of Club Der Visionaere, Fabric or Panorama Bar, and across the world from Tokyo to Tbilisi.
