Abbe May: Not one to ever be pigeon holed; the Western Australian rock ‘n’ roll staple Abbe May has a new single Karmageddon, which is the first taste of a new record she intends to release in the new year. The single features her trademark brooding lyrical delivery, however the presentation of it, laden with electronic beats, samples and synthesised sounds makes it something completely unique from any of her previous achievements.
