  DMA's

  DMA’S are made up of Tommy O’Dell, Matt Mason and Johnny Took. The band formed in Sydney and made an immediate impression with their 2014 debut EP. Their full-length debut ‘Hills End’ saw them crash into Australia’s Top 10. In 2018 they became one of the first Australian bands to play the iconic MTV Unplugged session, following in the footsteps of all-time greats such as Nirvana, Oasis and R.E.M. The performance was captured in their ‘MTV Unplugged Live’ album. Second studio album ‘For Now’ cemented them as a force to be reckoned with. The album earned three ARIA Music Award nominations or Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Independent Release and entered the UK charts at #13. Current album ‘THE GLOW’ received fantastic critical reviews across the board for their inventiveness & musicianship and charted #4 in the UK, #2 in Australia and #1 in Scotland.

  Pnau

  Pnau is an Australian dance music duo from Sydney, NSW made up of Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes. The duo released their debut album Sambanova in 1999 under the Peking Duck label. However, the album was pulled from record stores due to uncleared samples a week before they won an ARIA Award for Best Dance Release. Warner Music Australasia re-released it in 2000, then released 'Need Your Lovin' Baby' in 2001. After releasing the single Follow Me in 2002, the album charted higher than their previous albums in both the Australian ARIAnet Singles and Albums Charts. Pnau charted even higher with the single "Una Noche (Get Up)" (2003). Their second album is titled Again. In 2007 the group released a self-titled album.

  Georgia Maq

  Georgia McDonald has established herself in recent years as the singer and guitarist of Melbourne, Australia indie rock band Camp Cope, whose sophomore album How to Socialise and Make Friends (Run For Cover/Poison City Records) won widespread acclaim, topping a slew of 2018 end of year lists including NPR, Pitchfork, Billboard, Bandcamp, Stereogum, The Guardian, and Brooklyn Vegan.
  
  The impact of the trio's music on the indie landscape has been undeniable, with McDonald emerging as a brave, resilient, and often politicized figure. Using her formidable voice to fight for the betterment of the music industry and rally against sexism, racism and all forms of structural inequality, she has never shied away from the uncomfortable and difficult topics that dominate the news cycle.
  
  So when McDonald describes her debut solo album, Pleaser (Run For Cover/Poison City Records) as "a love album", it's immediately clear that this is a step in a different artistic direction. "I think the main theme is love, obviously, all kinds of love. Love that you walked away from so you could love yourself, unrequited love, forgiving love, love with no point to it," she explains.
  
  The album opens strategically with "Away From Love" - the only time guitar is featured on all of Pleaser, with the rest of the album done entirely electronically. "Away From Love" and "Like A Shadow" were recorded with Darcy Baylis, while the other songs on the record were produced by Run For Cover Records labelmate Katie Dey.
  
  Pleaser's 8 tracks shimmer and pulsate, calling to mind pop artists like Lorde, Robyn, Charli XCX and Gwen Stefani. "I took more time to record the songs and play around with them, and I liked that because I could change things and experiment more," McDonald says, continuing "I think the pressure of working with other people drove me to finish the songs, which I hated but also loved because it's nice to be challenged."
  
  While McDonald may have felt challenged while writing Pleaser, the experience of listening to the album is anything but difficult. Its unapologetic pop sentiments shine and delight, McDonald's gorgeous alto soaring above each track. It's a record listeners will find themselves quickly falling in love with and returning to again and again - and really, in times like these, who doesn't need more love songs?

  Any Young Mechanic

  Having taken their name from a line in ‘Hooray For Hollywood’ – inspired by the song’s jarring use in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye – there is an aptly cinematic quality to Any Young Mechanic’s music.

  On their debut album The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot, the Tarntanya/Adelaide five-piece conjure up vivid, widescreen vistas that blend folk music’s enduring charms with a musical dexterity and sharp vision reaching beyond the genre’s usual corners.

  A mesh of criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways, the record possesses an immediacy that quickly turns its 12 tracks into lifelong friends - though no two listens ever seem quite the same.

  Carla Geneve

  In her prolific but (so far) short career Carla Geneve has garnered two Australian Live Music Awards and the Vanda & Young Emerging Artist Prize. Her debut album ‘Learn To Like It’ garnered an Australian Music Prize nomination, while her 2023 release "Hertz" secured critical praise and was Australian National radio Double J feature album, as well as it being listed by the same station as number 35 of the best albums of 2023. Carla Geneve is a must-see powerhouse, with raw vulnerability and storytelling prowess. Geneve performs live with her four-piece band consisting of members Duncan Strachan, Bryn Stanford and Eldar Ekic. The band have honed their live performance on the stages of National touring festivals such as Falls Festival, Laneway, Party in the Paddock alongside bills supporting Cat Power, Kurt Vile, Julia Jacklin and more.

  Delivery

  Having only just released their debut EP, ‘Yes We Do’ (2021), and played a handful of gigs, Delivery are already being hailed as a great hope for Australia’s punk scene. In Melbourne’s well-mixed underground, it’s not that easy to stand out from the crowd with your own garage sound. But the venom-spitting riffs, the hook lines that make you want to shout along, and the forward-pushing drums make this band’s style an all-round successful delivery of pure punk energy in the truest sense of the term. From Rolling Stone to Far Out Magazine and NME, everyone agrees: This combo have mastered the rugged, ready-to-rock vibe with which early proto-punk bands founded the genre in the early 1970s – and they also add a healthy dose of dolewave to the mix. More and more people in Europe and the USA have also taken notice, which is why the group’s second album, ‘Force majeure’ (2025), was preceded by a lot of hype – and rightly so, as it turned out. If you want to see for yourself what’s coming to us from Down Under, you have a rare opportunity.

  Spike Fuck

  Spike F*ck is a rare figure in contemporary music: direct, disarming, and impossible to pin down. Emerging from Melbourne’s underground in the late 2010s with The Smackwave EP, Spike fused bleak synth-pop, post-punk melodrama, and brutally honest songwriting into something both vulnerable and confrontational. Armed with only a backing track and a microphone, early live shows saw Spike sing candidly about addiction, gender, dysfunctional love, and collapse: a kind of wounded sincerity that quickly drew a cult following. Just as things seemed to be breaking open, Spike disappeared, retreating from public life amid a personal reckoning.
  
  After a four-year hiatus -- during which time rumours swirled about death, institutions, or becoming a monk -- Spike returned sober, clear-eyed, and transformed. The music that followed is bigger, wilder, and more alive. Performed with a rotating full band, the new material draws from ‘70s glam, spiritual soul, and damaged rock and roll, but always filtered through Spike’s unmistakable voice: bruised, intense, poetic.
  
  These are songs about recovery, identity, survival, and letting go not sanitised, not triumphant, but real. Where the early work stared into the void, the new work steps forward with purpose. It’s not a reinvention. It’s an evolution, one born from chaos, now grounded in clarity.

  Mel Blue

  Mel Blue make music for big feelings with big synthesisers. Positioning themselves at the intersection of house, indie, pop, r&b, and electronica, Mel Blue have a truly unique sound.

  Consisting of Oscar Sharah, Jacob Siles, and Luke Gerber, the band relocated to London from Sydney in 2023 to immerse themselves in European dance music. Returning to Australia in 2026 with lessons from their time abroad, the band remain focussed on reflecting their surroundings. Drawing inspiration from artists like James Blake, Air, Frank Ocean, Underworld, Chaka Khan, and Paradis, Mel Blue is for the dancefloor just as much as it is for headphones.

  Sex Mask

  Experiencing Sex Mask live is all gas, no brakes. The band’s artsy, electric fusion of proto-post-punk and writhing no-wave cool leaves little room for breathing space – and not least of all because shirtless frontman Wry Gray will often find himself directly within the immediate peripheral of anyone close to the front.
