Herewith to supplement the above fine selections from the Australian music scene, "music with pictures". The music for most of these Aussie bands is available for perusal of course on their respective Bandcamp pages: 

From Brisbane band Quandary, another fine (instrumental)  tune. Sadly, Quandary have since disbanded but guitarist Sam Vallen can still be heard with Caligula's Horse - as was drummer Geoff Irish too (until 2015 that is):

 From Adelaide band The Slow Light, formerly instrumental, now stepping ahead to a future with vocals (a fine band either way) - a track from their upcoming new album Liminal:

From Hobart, All India Radio, also with a new album imminent:

Toehider, aka Michael Mills (of Melbourne), and yet another upcoming album...

Turning the clock back to the year 2011 for Brisbane band Caligula's Horse, a year after Sam Vallen and Geoff Irish recorded the one and only album with the band Quandary:
