kites can’t jive 2021 recap

kites can’t jive: the playlist is the soundtrack to kites can’t fly. Here’s a look back at 2021.

The Australian punk scene has always been great and we’ve seen a real resugance for women-led bands. Amy and the Sniffers, Cable Ties, Moaning Lisa are all killing it so that’s where I spent a lot of my listening time.

HTRK, another local band, dropped a new album as well and that became an immediate favourite for me. All in all, 2021 was brilliant for Australian music.

All album links head to Apple Music.
