CB Ghost Releases Single ‘One Wave at a Time’

"CB Ghost Releases Single ‘One Wave at a Time’"

NEW MUSIC VIDEOvid

Originally recorded as a stripped-back demo inspired by Gerry Cinnamon with CB on guitar (capo on the third fret) and a foot stomp, the song first took shape in its simplest form. That early version carried the backbeat but lacked the now-signature drum build that had become a standout moment in live shows.

So, it was back to Damien Gerard’s studio to start again. Born as a sunset, balcony, surf-side tune, the released single captures exactly what the band has grown into as a unit. While the original had charm, this full-band version—driven by bass, drums, and soaring violin—arrives as a fully realised, big-hearted band banger.

“One Wave at a Time” is a reflective yet uplifting ode to living in the here and now. Written from the idea that when life feels overwhelming, the only way forward is day by day — or for surfers, one wave at a time — the song captures the quiet healing of the ocean and the clarity it brings to a restless mind.

Penned in the aftermath of a breakup that left CB questioning identity and priorities, the track balances light and shade, sadness and joy. Defying conventional structure, it eases into a restrained pre-chorus that creates a false sense of calm before opening into an expansive, emotionally charged release. Beneath the melancholic reflections of loss lies an unwavering optimism — a reminder to keep moving forward.

Described by Scenestr as “Oasis meets Jack Johnson with Chris Cornell feels,” CB Ghost is no genre experiment — he’s a full-bodied apparition with a pulse.

An original solo artist backed by his band of merry Ghosts, CB Ghost has been carving out a reputation for raucous, emotion-soaked, good-time live shows that leave rooms louder than they found them. His debut album Mayhemic, released June 5, 2025 via Foghorn Records (MGM Distribution), features fan-favourite singles “Hollywood Hills,” “Beautiful Middle Finger,” and breakout track “Hold Down Hymn,” now past 100,000 streams and still climbing.

The band is a beautiful anomaly.

On drums and backing vocals: Glenn B, seasoned, formidable, and relentless.

On bass: Dean Sinclair — Rock Lord, delivering thunder, groove, and low-end authority like it’s written in stone.

On keys: Gem — incomparable, award-winning, and effortlessly elevating every song with colour, soul, and cinematic lift.

On violin: Archie P, hailed as “the best rock violinist in Australia,” arriving via Bonnie Scotland with strings on fire.

Together, they deliver moving high-energy shows — part sing-along, part catharsis, part dancefloor sermon. Add their powerful and original ballads – and it’s a roller coaster of emotions. As CB Ghost declares in “Beautiful Middle Finger”: “Ghosts don’t want to live forever.”

Sonically, CB Ghost blends alternative-rock, folk warmth, and surf-rock-country swagger, with pop hooks riding a riptide of feel-good drumbeats. Lyrically, it’s ocean-salted, streetwise, and emotionally honest — songs that make you move your hips, then check your heart.

Fiona Joy Hawkins, Wivajoy Release Single ‘A Simple Christmas’

"Fiona Joy Hawkins, Wivajoy Release Single ‘A Simple Christmas’"

A Simple Christmas is an original Singer/Songwriter piece with piano, vocal, guitar and rhythm. Written by Fiona Joy Hawkins and performed with Wivajoy, it’s about wanting to keep Christmas simple and about what is important: friendship, love… the simple things!

When life gets busy and consumerism takes over, it’s refreshing to focus on how we want to spend our time and what is important at Christmas. Coming together should be about people, friendships, family and not for material reasons. This song puts all those messages together and makes us want to sing, dance and be happy for what matters.

I’ve learned this year what I really want
Not things I own, but hearts that bond.

No shiny Boxes, no perfect pines
No silver bells, no shopping lines

A Simple Christmas this time….

WIVAJOY is the alter-ego for an artist in the New Age world. Their music is a playground where the artist layers rhythmic electronica with melodic acoustic instrumentation. It’s sensual, it’s dream-like and it comes from another world.

Earlier in their career they won an award for Best Dance/Club/Dub but abandoned the pursuit of the genre so as not to confuse their acoustic New Age audience. After countless pleas from fans, they are now back recording chill music and as ‘Wivajoy’ feeling free to explore this pursuit further.

Wivajoy’s keyboard, vocals and arrangements are influenced by the need to layer rhythm and synth together with acoustic parts. Their acoustic career highlights include having a song on a Grammy winning album as well as being a finalist or winning over 50 awards world wide including IMA, IAMA, MusicOZ, ARIA Finalist and more.

“From the very first note, Pacifica captivates with a deep, resonant bass-line that pulses straight to your soul.

Silphie Releases Music Video for ‘Blossom Fairy Queen’

"Silphie Releases Music Video for ‘Blossom Fairy Queen’"

An Australian neo-classical quartet, Silphie’s newest song is the quaint, old-worldly ‘Blossom Fairy Queen’ that carries a serene sensation of calmness, the delicate notes washing over the senses.

A blend of enchanting folktronica and haunting neo-classical tones melded to the gorgeous, operatic vocals of singer-composer Michaele Archer (who sings in English and Latin), ‘Blossom Fairy Queen’ will transport you to a medieval landscape in Renaissance Europe.
Rich in emotive strings alongside harmonium and classical guitar that carry poignant feels of spirituality, the song is centred around themes of eternal love, creation and the circle life.
Archer is joined by Rachel Whealy (cello), Giuseppe Zangari (guitar) and Gab Steele (viola) to form Silphie. “‘Blossom Fairy Queen’ was one of those gifts of a song that came all at once on a balmy spring evening,” shares Michaele. “The big theme of the song is the eternal, powerful nature of love.
“It’s also about the mystery of creation and the circle of life, so it’s beautiful that our viola player Gab Steele was pregnant with her first child when we filmed the clip.”

“Working with Benjamin Fraser, who I would describe as a genius Renaissance person, is a wondrous experience every time,” Michaele says. “Benjamin created hair and make-up (with Taylor Anne) and made the jewellery headband as well as the vision for filming and editing.
“Things are always an adventure as Benjamin loves to let things unfold spontaneously on the day within the plan. So sometimes unexpected things happen and Benjamin’s way of directing makes you feel comfortable, expressive and brave!
“We are super grateful and happy that our other film clip for this project created by Benjamin, ‘Sulpicia’s Birthday’, has received three offical selections in film festivals and an Award of Excellence in the Women’s International Film Festival.
“The lovely thing about this group is we are all old friends so our filming projects and rehearsals are joyous and chilled. There’s a lot of love!” Gab adds: “It’s always such a pleasure to work with everyone! I actually went to high school with Benjamin, so we met over 20 years ago!”
Set to release their album ‘Garland The Love Poems Of Sulpicia’ in February, Silphie have already enjoyed positive feedback about ‘Blossom Fairy Queen’.
“There is something about this song that seems to resonate with people,” Michaele says. “We played some new material from the album as part of the Tubular Festival/Gossy weekender recently and had amazing feedback.
“Maybe it’s the message of love and connection or the slightly Celtic feel. For people to let us know they felt moved and make such lovely comments makes everything worth it! We hope people enjoy the clip as well.”
