The Triple J Unearthed winners for 2012 had to make the list right? Well The Rubens have definitely have had quite the year releasing their self titled debut album and having great success with one of my favorite singles "My Gun" coming in at #15. There's no doubt that they are going to feature heavily in this year's Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2012 and look set for great things in 2013 with their sultry style of genre and play.
#15: The Rubens - My Gun
Hope you guys hadn't forgot about these guys because they were definitely one of the hottest acts in Australia this year. Last Dinosaurs' released their debut album
In A Million Years back in March this year and it was absolutely brilliant. Although we had heard many of the tracks on the album in the previous year, "Andy" was a standout drawing similarities with TDCC and they're style of play. Big things to come from these guys, I assure you.
#14: Last Dinosaurs - Andy
Mr. Little Jeans is not a Mr, and I don't know how little her jeans are, but I suggest you try getting past Monica Birkenes’ inaccurate performance moniker and getting into her music. “Runaway” was a sweeping, maximalist, and vaguely (but appealingly) creepy pop jam with a great beat and it comes in at #13. I've always kind of thought Monica was like a prettier and better version of Grimes (apologies to all Grimes fans out there), she just has that much more appeal to me.
#13: Mr. Little Jeans - Runaway
At #12 we have the debut release from the Remix Artists Collective aka RAC. As the name suggests RAC are renown for their indie pop/rock remixes, but this year they took their chances on producing their own single "Hollywood" featuring the vocals of Chris Glover from Penguin Prison. The result was stupendous, taking all the great elements from their remixes and putting it into production they were able to create their own unique pop experience.
#12: RAC - Hollywood feat. Penguin Prison
An old time favourite of mine are the indie rockers from Canada Mother Mother. So at #11 I had to have a track from their fourth studio album
The Sticks. "Infinitesimal" is everything I have ever loved about the band; loads of quirkiness, poppy goodness and the always dynamic instrumentation and vocalisation. Could've easily had 2 or 3 tracks from the new album but then again that would've been a pretty boring list haha.
#11: Mother Mother - Infinitesimal
