Hiatus Kaiyote

Melbourne-based, worldwide-beloved, genre-fluid Hiatus Kaiyote returns in 2024 with their new album Love Heart Cheat Code. Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keyboards), and Perrin Moss (drums) debuted in 2012 with LP Tawk Tomahawk, making fans of Erykah Badu, Questlove, and Prince, and embraced by tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Their first R&B Grammy nomination, for “Nakamarra,” was followed by another for “Breathing Underwater,” from their second LP, 2015’s Choose Your Weapon and a third for their 2021 album Mood Valiant for Best Progressive R&B Album. They’ve been sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake, with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album. For a band that made a name for itself with its complexity and received critical praise and garnered fans from around the globe for their embrace of maximalism, one of the most striking things about their upcoming album Love Heart Cheat Code is its simplicity. “I complicate fucking everything,” Nai laughs. “But the more you go through things in life, you become more relaxed and uninhibited. Sometimes you can still have depth and reach people and really stop dancing around the fact: What do you want to communicate to people? And I feel like this album is a result of that clarity for us.”

Ball Park Music

Over 15 years into their career, everything Ball Park Music does these days feels like a victory lap. The Brisbane indie darlings have long established their status as one of Australia's most revered and endearing bands – with five of their seven albums having debuted in the ARIA top five, four of their songs having gone platinum and no less than a dozen Hottest 100 placements to their name. Most bands in that position would be happy to coast out their days on heyday nostalgia alone, but if it wasn't already clear: Ball Park Music are not most bands.

DUST

Australian-based punk act dust blend jagged instrumentation and melancholic soundscapes into a visceral, genre-defiant identity. Drummer Kye Cherry, bassist Liam Smith, saxophonist Adam Ridgway and dual vocalists/guitarists Justin Teale and Gabriel Stove formed dust in 2020 to begin honing in on a sound that is both cathartic and confrontational. Their debut EP, et cetera, etc, released in early 2023 via Kanine Records and produced by Wade Keighran (The Scare, Wolf & Cub), captured a raw and spontaneous fragment of the band’s early evolution. After its release, dust found themselves grounded in the new-wave of genre-defiance occurring across the country. The momentum garnered off the back of their debut release declared 2023 a pivotal year for the band performing an Australian tour in support of post-punk revival icons Interpol and Bloc Party as well as sharing the stage with shoegaze pioneers Slowdive at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and Protomartyr in Antwerp. Their powerful live presence earned them another invitation to perform alongside Interpol in support of the 20th Anniversary of their seminal album Antics, solidifying their place overseas. As they continue to evolve, dust remain rooted in melancholia and self-inquiry. Their sound, at once nostalgic and forward-leaning, reflects a restless engagement with the social zeitgeist, slouching towards the future that they uneasily attempt to define.

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?

Mid Drift

Bursting onto the scene with their slick, wavy sound and vibrant female lead, Mid Drift have quickly become one of Brissy/Meanjins most iconic indie acts. Made up of Sarah Engstrom, George Swan, Daniel Larsen, John Reid, and Rowan Bowyer, Mid Drift draws inspiration from other Aussie acts such as Ocean Alley and Spacey Jane to create a unique, yet delicious mix of flowing melodies and infectious vibes. Brought to life by Sarah's powerhouse vocals and the band's tight musicianship, their live performances are buzzing with energy and leave each audience they play to craving more.

Spike Fuck

Spike Fuck 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.

That early wave brought unexpected momentum: international tours, modelling for Rick Owens, and eventually a signing with Partisan Records. But just as things seemed to be breaking open, Spike disappeared, retreating from public life amid a personal reckoning.

After a three-year hiatus -- during which time rumours swirled about death, institutions, or becoming a monk -- Spike returned in 2024: 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.

Fool Nelson

Fool Nelson are a three-piece indie rock trio comprised of two brothers and their best mate. Hailing from Boorloo/Perth WA, they have quickly made a name for themselves, packing out venues with their energetic live show and a knack for writing catchy tunes.

Off the back of multiple national-sold-out-shows and tours, supporting Skegss, Spacey Jane and Old Mervs, playing One Night Stand, Rolling Sets, and landing at #154 on triple j’s Hottest 100 and previously #1 Most Played on the station for several weeks, Rolling Stone has described the band as "One of the most exciting bands to come out of Australia's indie-rock scene in years."

Leading on from plays on Sian Eleri’s Future Artist’s on BBC Radio 1 and Craig Charles’ BBC 6 Music show, the West Coast trio are primed for their first UK/EU shows in May, including stops at tastemaker fests The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, Liverpool Sound City, The Road to The Great Escape and London Calling in Amsterdam.

FUKHED

Few have managed to snatch the attention of the Australian club and dance scenes like FUKHED. Delivering sets filled with relentless techno and late-night melancholia, FUKHED has crafted hefty mixes for triple j, Project Radio (UK) and The Sound Gallery; played fan-favourite sets at Field Day, Beyond The Valley and Subsonic; and shared stages with Nia Archives, I Hate Models and Patrick Mason.

In 2023, she increased her global presence by touring across Europe and Japan, where her boisterous sets championed international and Australian dance music in equal measure. Her skyrocketing profile has also led to partnerships with brands including AIAIAI Audio and Vans; as well as coverage on Mixmag and Resident Advisor. Her trajectory continued strongly into the 2024 summer, when she broke into Australia's wider festival circuit.

With her hammering debut single ‘No C No A’ dropping in 2024, FUKHED will continue to expand her global presence both onstage and in the studio.
