Extended Play 096: Chase Atlantic | LOST IN HEAVEN | Album Review
LOST IN HEAVEN is Chase Atlantic’s fourth studio release, an album that excitedly pushes the boundaries of their usual catchy melodies and instead lingers in a world in which pleasure and pain coexist.

Album Review - Cartoon Darkness
‘Amyl’ – As in amyl nitrate, a party drug commonly referred to as ‘poppers’. Coming in a tiny bottle, you sniff the liquid inside and are sent into a euphoric state for a short moment. Melbourne punk rockers Amyl and the Sniffers continue to live up to their name on their third album ‘Cartoon Darkness’, with each song creating a sensational high for the listener.
Tyler’s Paranoia Comes to Surface in New Single

A Love Letter to Nursing
A hospital is never a pleasant place to be. When you picture it, you imagine the image of stark white walls, the vexatious scent of antiseptic mingling with coffee, and the sound of urgent footsteps echoing through tiled hallways. Australia’s healthcare workers spend entire days and sleepless nights in this setting, whilst dealing with confronting medical cases that prey on their minds long after the job is done.
The Street Poet
Melbourne, a city that harbours refuge for the creative population - a haven for creative expression and subcultural movements. The streets are alive with diverse stories begging to be told, and people who live to tell them.
Growing Up Girl – Sorrows of Girlhood
To be a girl is to question everything. Why am I being treated like I am inhuman? Is it so wrong
that I don’t want to bear children? Have I done enough for myself? Am I writing myself into a
fictitious girlhood, and does that matter?

The Chatter About Chatterbox Café
Melbournians have a taste for coffee. The city has become a breeding ground for cafes, with plenty of
people lining up at these establishments eager for their first, second, or third cup of liquid gold. Only a
short half an hour trip west of Melbourne’s CBD will land you in Werribee – a suburb not particularly
known for its coffee culture, but home to a locally renown café.
