DANDE AND THE LION

Indie-rock five piece Dande and The Lion have a sound as sweet as their name. The unique vocals of front woman Bianca Weir is what truly sells the band, who’s catchy indie tracks are instantly replay-able. Add these guys to your playlist for a bit of fresh air this summer.

INDIA SWEENEY
When I think of India Sweeney, I think of nights out with friends, twinkling lights and cozy mornings. This is the feeling that the Wollongong singer-songwriter evokes through her effortless pop, the new single “Fly” showcasing her delicate vocals and danceable beats.

WILSON AND THE CASTAWAYS
If you’ve never heard the self described anarchist-folk-punk-nihilism of Wilson and The Castaways, you’re truly missing out. The Newcastle based 5 piece are known for their energetic live shows and crazy dark (and funny) lyrics, like “I love my fish, but I eat fish at least every second day”. Seriously, check these guys out.

INKLINES
Based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, alt-rockers Inklines are well aboard the 90s revival train, with an undeniably Aussie sound reminiscent of Silverchair. Their debut single is just a taste of whats to come when they release an EP this summer, so keep your eyes peeled for more Inklines.

E FOR ECHO
E for Echo are a ambient indie five piece from Sydney who you should definitely be obsessed with. The production on their new single “Let Your Hair Down” is second to none; the catchy single showing the bands’ masterful harmonies. These guys are super polished with a unique sound – so maybe check them out and spread the word.
