Paint Your Golden Face (TAS)
- Self Titled (Tenzenmen)
Hobartian minimalist pop duo Paint Your Golden Face build upon the success of their recent tour of mainland Australia & New Zealand with the release of their debut album. Their distinctive sound features looped drum beats with confrontational vocals.
Jimmy Hawk
- Echo Park (First Love Records/MGM)
Australian singer-songwriter Jimmy Hawk follows up his 2009 EP, 'Born On A Mountain', with his first full-length effort. Echo Park is a further step forward for Hawk, and demonstrates his gift for melody and songcraft.
Houlette
- Bless Bless (Exo Records)
Five-piece Melbourne group Houlette's first album, Bless Bless, combines a mix of folk influences with modern pop sensibility and atmosphere. Watch out for them on the Tassie leg of their Australian tour.
Turin Brakes
- Outbursts (Shock)
'Outbursts' is the fifth studio album from London two-piece Turin Brakes. After exploring a more 'rock' sound on their previous release, Outbursts sees a return to their folkier roots, with the addition of occasional orchestration (complete with kazoo!).
Ebony Bones
- Bone of My Bones (PIAS)
British lass Ebony Bones is the opposite of bland. Her eccentric live performances are renowned for their vibrance & colour, & this translates seamlessly to record, making her debut 'Bone of My Bones' a chaotic, catchy & irrepressibly energetic album.

05/04/2010 - Edge Radiothon 2010 Is Coming!
What is a Radiothon? Much like the 'Save Fbi' campaign that ran last year, we are turning to the music loving community to help raise vital funds to keep Edge Radio afloat.
A Radiothon is a two week period where we ask our listeners to contribute financially to the station. Most community stations run an annual Radiothon as a major source of income, and it is a major event on their calendar.
There are heaps of events, prizes and incentives involved. We'll have more info for you in the coming weeks but we can tell you right now that you should get ready to support Tasmanian music at our benefit gig on Wed 7th;
Start getting your musical heads together for our second installment of Face The Music (quiz) on Thurs 8th April; put some sturdy walking shoes on for our walking art tours; & prepare yourself to end it all with a bangin' party on Sat 17th feat. THE FUMES

14/03/2010 - Tasmanian Liberals Pledge Support For Edge Radio
Edge Radio yesterday welcomed the 'Real Change - Support for Tasmanian Arts and Culture' policy released by the Tasmanian Liberal Party, that showed an unprecedented commitment to Hobart community radio.
A Hodgman Liberal Government will provide $100,000 over two years to assist Edge Radio in further developing its coverage of emerging and innovative art in Southern Tasmania.
"The station has never received core funding from the Government or any other body and we are more than relieved, in the current financial climate, that the Tasmanian Liberals have recognised our value to the Tasmanian community and the need to provide a
sustainable future for the radio station. We can only hope that the other parties will follow suit and make similar commitments to ensure the station continues to survive", says Melanie Page, Station Manager.
16/12/2009 - Arts Tasmania De-funds Unique Edge Radio Arts Initiative
