Songs, releases and local sounds worth finding
YELO New Music follows singles, EPs, albums, clips and artists moving through the Sunshine Coast and wider Queensland music scene.
Find local discoveries, release stories, playlist picks and songs that should probably be in the group chat before the weekend.
Queensland music without waiting for the algorithm
YELO covers new releases from established names, emerging artists and local musicians still finding their audience.
The focus begins on the Sunshine Coast, then stretches through Brisbane, the Gold Coast, North Queensland and regional scenes around the state.
Some songs arrive through interviews and media releases. Others turn up on stage, through friends, on community radio or halfway down a Spotify rabbit hole.
Listen to the sounds of Queensland
The statewide Pineapple Mixtape and Sunshine Coast Pineapple Radar playlist offer two different ways into YELO’s new music coverage.
