The Underground Stage
“smartcasual have been cooking up pots and pots of new songs and we get a bunch of them tonight, a party bag of giant sized indie rocks. Often an annoyingly self-important genre, the fun they’re clearly having adds sugar to the savouries, a glorious set as full of blinding sunlight as it is packed with […]
“Dande and The Lion are plagued with tech gremlins at the start, but what they lose in terms of stage time they make for in sheer pop energy. The set is one non-stop dancer after another, the synthy moments wrapping around the shred and the hammering rhythm, and above it all two killer, giddily enthusiastic […]
“Aloe Vera are as soothing a balm as you’d expect from the name, with much of the set flowing as smoothly as silk on skin, a gentle breeze and a kind smile. When the pace picks up though, there’s enough sting to keep you alert too.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
South Summit are an interesting bet to get a lot bigger for a number of reasons – it’s not just the consistent growth and support over the last year, it’s also that they are in the exact same spot that similar-ish artists – in particular The Rions, DICE, The Terrys, and Teenage Dads – all […]

Not content with raging at generalities, it’s all deeply personal – it’s this particular band against them in particular. God […]

“Buckled blow in like a truck with its brakes cut, whirling and raucous Cali punk via the Gold Coast. High-speed and high-voltage, ripping and stripping the paint off the walls, it’s not a subtle way to make a point – but for damn sure the point gets made.” Gallery Learn More Instagram

“Don’t let Siphon’s two-piece setup – bass and drums, no guitar – fool you, this is as noisy and raucous and electric a racket as any standard setup could conjure. A madly inventive use of just the four strings channels Superchunk and Japandroids, a roaring set of pounding melodies and distorted frequencies.” Gallery Learn More […]
