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’

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.
