Outloved release debut single, ‘Dying To Leave’

Posted on by Andrew Sorensen


Arriving on the scene with their debut single ‘Dying To Leave’, Melbourne-based band Outloved have released a music video to compliment the single.

‘Dying To Leave’ uses contrasting soft melodic interludes with heavy hitting segments and a driving beat throughout.

Outloved tackles themes of mental health and opens up the conversation about breaking free from burying emotions and staying silent.

Vocalist Jaydon Colvin says the meaning of the song is “to check on your friends and family.”

“They may be wandering off down a path of negativity and need your help to get through and out of it,” Mr Colvin said.

Melbourne’s Redwood Forest helped film the music video with cinematographic help from Ionei Heckenberg and Albert Lamontagne.

An eerie environment was used to portray the songs narrative of a character fleeing from their issues and running deep into a forest until they’re ready to be found and face their emotions.

Forming just this year, Outloved consists of Jaydon Colvin as the vocalist, with Luke Bakker on the drums and Conor Kelly and Michael Beane on the guitar.

The musicians have previously played in a number of bands throughout regional Victoria.

‘Dying To Leave’ is available now on all digital stores and streaming platforms at https://ffm.to/outloved_dyingtoleave.

Posted on by Matthew Wotherspoon


“My mama always told me someday I’d be good at something. Who’d a guessed that something’d be zombie-killing?” Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson, Zombieland)


Everyone’s favourite zombie-killing squad is back for another double-tap this Spring!

Starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone, the famed team has reunited with director Ruben Fleischer and the original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to unleash perhaps this Spring’s most bloody and anticipated film.

Written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and Dave Callaham, Zombieland: Double Tap will see the four zombie slayers traverse across the baron, zombified landscape that was the US to face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Just like the original featured prominent locations like Bill Murray’s luscious mansion, Zombieland: Double Tap will see comic mayhem stretch from the White House and through the heartland, providing a hilarious backdrop to their extreme zombie hunting methods.

What’s even better about the release of Zombieland: Double Tap is YOU have the chance of winning free tickets to a very special preview in your nearest city.




To win a double pass to a very special preview screening of Zombieland: Double Tap in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth on October 16, all you have to do is answer this very simple question: which Hollywood superstar did the gang encounter in the first Zombieland movie?

All you have to do to go in the draw to win is email your answer to competitions@filmink.com.au. Winners will be notified of exact venue and timing details in each city.

Best of luck!

Reside set to release new single ‘Replace Me’ in lead up to upcoming EP

Posted on by Matthew Wotherspoon

Melbourne alternative-rockers, Reside, are gearing up for the release of their brand new single, ‘Replace Me‘, which is due for release on March 29th.

Set to fuel their upcoming EP ‘The Light That You Saw’, ‘Replace Me‘ is a thematic journey surging with gritty guitars and powerful vocals, all while telling the tale of hardship after dealing with the loss of a friend or family member.

“Acceptance is often the hardest part of dealing with loss. Whether it’s the end of a relationship, loss of friend or family, the letting go and moving on is the scariest part. Leaving behind what was familiar and walking a path into total unknown,” said vocalist Liam Guinane. 

Refusing to be shackled down by the chains of losing a loved one, the band dive deep into the harrowing unknown in Replace Me, exploring the themes of what it is to move on from the emotions attached to friendships and relationships.

“The track that deals these themes unforgivably. It’s a journey of starting at a point where sorrow and pain are almost to much to bare any longer to realising that while you might “feel like dying sometimes (you’ll]) be alright,” said Guinane.

For Guinane, ‘Replace Me’ summarises his experience in learning to deal with life’s most difficult truths.

“Replace Me was one of the first songs we wrote for this upcoming EP and in a way sort of sums up my journey of how low I was 18 months ago to reaching a point where I felt  more myself again.

“It’s similar to that mantra “It’s okay not to be okay.” Accepting that you might feel shit now but you’ll get through it. There’s plenty of songs about heartbreak but I’m not sure any of them reach a point of positive conclusion,” said Guinane.

‘Replace Me’ follows their banger 2018 release, ‘In This Moment’ – a similar lyrical and melodic journey about loneliness and its suffering.

‘The Light That You Saw’ will be released on Friday, March 29 and to celebrate Reside will be hitting the road with dates in Wagga, Albury and Melbourne (TBA).

Sophiya unleashes fiery visuals for ‘White Ivory’

Posted on by Matthew Wotherspoon

Melbourne’s newest flow queen Sophiya took over the underground hip hop scene late last year with her rebellious single, ‘White Ivory.’ With rhythmic flow and catchy lyricism, Sophiya caught the attention of Spotify and radio listeners, where they drew comparisons to Leikeli47 and others.

To add even more colour to her already energetic release, Sophiya has decided to team up with a league of local filmmakers and supporters – Brayden at Fun Films, close friends July Stewart, model Sophia Ast and Sophiya’s girlfriend. Together, they produced a video that effectively amplifies Sophiya’s confident and energetic personality while adding an extra layer to the already explosive, ‘White Ivory’.


“Before I released White Ivory, I promised myself that if I ever got more than 10,000 streams on Spotify I would have to make a music video for it. One month and 30,000 streams later, I met up with Brayden (Fun Films) and we began to bounce ideas for the video.” 

“A non-negotiable for this music video was my friend July Stewart and his talented voguing dance moves. If you don’t know what voguing is, google it! The moves are super sassy and truly embody White Ivory’s bad bitch energy. It was also very important for me to represent a LGBTQ friendly vibe through the visuals of this song and July really made all of that possible.”

Sophiya has already amassed over 85,000 streams in just a couple of months with ‘White Ivory’, so expect to hear a whole lot more of her in the coming months. Stay tuned!
