Tarantino movie soundtracks, surf music, old gritty swamp blues sounds and hot rock'n'rollin'

My name is Cameron Spike-Porter, i'm  a guitarist / composer currently based in the northern rivers area. My main project is writing music for the band Every Day Carry, you can check it out @ soundcloud.com/every-day-carry. 

'Spike' is a musical project where I experiment with instrumental progressive, jazz and post-rock styles. 
This project allows me to share all the music that I make at home, and perform live. The demo recordings are done on my laptop at home, and i'm looking forward to taking this project into the studio soon!
Thanks for checking it out!

Let us all be so lucky to live out of the backseat of our car for the rest of this summer, and maybe forever. Forget your failures. Put it all behind you and ride into the sun.

The Badlands are a byron bay based four piece made up of four salty individuals who have recently come together to cement the final lineup known as The Badlands. Hailing from differing backgrounds , Pauly NZ, Tommy the mid north coast, Massimo Melbourne and Alex the sunny coast they now call byron home where their varied musical backgrounds have led to a culmination of sound both unique and warming to fresh ears. The band takes influences from both the 60/70s blues/rock movement and the early 90s skate/surf punk and grunge scenes. Their self titled E.P released last november , backed with a handful of successful local gigs has built the band a semi what underground following in the byron area.

Their latest single New Age Prescription Product was tracked and mastered at 301 byron bay with producer Jordan Power, and with it the boys will be hitting the road in June this year touring from Sydney to the sunshine coast. For more information on tour dates you can check them out via their facebook page @ www.facebook.com/thebadlandsmusic

They would say their sound can be best/worst described by : if rock n roll wore grunge out to dinner, took a trip of acid with punk rock and ate a politician you would find 'The Badlands' served on or in the last sip of whisky.

Empty Tin is the much anticipated first single release from Nicole Brophy's latest album. With natural onstage charisma, bangin' guitar skills and come-hither-smokey vocals it's not hard to understand why she was kidnapped by Kate Miller Heidke's band for a few years! Lucky for us Nicole is now bottling that "whiskey soaked" voice into some darn tasty brew that deserves to be heard and shared.

This catchy as hell single drives along with vintage guitar sounds and cheeky 60‘s backing vocals as it lays down the hard truth that comes from pure frustration. Empty Tin is a single that speaks to all that crave so much more from life...and love.

Nicole Brophy has a voice and style compared to the likes of PJ Harvey, Lucinda Williams & La Roux. ​Stylistically it fits somewhere between gritty rock, alt-country hoedowns and moody, bluesy numbers brought together by a raw charismatic rockin’ earthy voice and boundless energy. She has an undeniable presence on stage always moving, engaging the crowd, playing acoustic or electric guitar and just driving her passion into her songs.
Growing up on the South Coast of NSW and travelling across Australia and overseas Nicole has performed to thousands at some of Australia's biggest music festivals as front woman of her previous band Dirty Lucy or as guitarist/backing vocalist in the Kate Miller-Heidke touring band.
In previous band Dirty Lucy, their highly acclaimed debut album Dark Green was released in 2003 to rave reviews and were invited to perform at SXSW & Shepherds Bush Empire in London. The follow up album Music, People Cities, Lights & Darkness was released in 2006 while touring relentlessly to every corner of the country for over 4 years solid.

Nicole is currently completing the finishing touches on her latest album recorded in a farmhouse in the Southern Highlands of NSW co-produced by Syd Green.

"Nicole Brophy has a voice possessing everything that is good about country singing, with the grunt and raunch of the great female rock tradition thrown in for good measure” Rolling Stone

"Nicole has a voice that fits somewhere between Ricki Lee Jones, La Roux & Beth Orton. Her Alannah Myles-style whiskey molasses voice simultaneously welcomes a crowd with a bear hug and slaps a shot in front of them to signal the start of an adventure". Radar
