New Weird Australia

New Weird Australia is a new net label that has existed since July 2009. It is run by Stuart Buchanan (Discontent) and Danny Jumpertz (Feral Media). Here is what they have to say about themselves…

New Weird Australia is a not-for-profit initiative designed to promote and support new eclectic and experimental Australian music. Our current projects include a free compilation series, a weekly radio show on Sydney’s FBi 94.5FM (stream online at fbiradio.com) and an irregular program of live events.

They are up to their fourth release now and are starting to be a regular name on blogs and music websites in Australia and abroad! There is a great interview with Stuart over at Mess and Noise here. Oh and I have a track on the latest volume (4) too…
