- Archy Punker
Archy Punker started as the solo project of Kyle Willoughby banging around in his backyard shed, with his first releases receiving airplay on Triple J/Unearthed and featuring on Farmer & The Owl's Beached Friends compilation.
3 years on, the project has turned itself into a band of best mates. With all eyes set on shows, they've been up and down the east coast with headline shows, festivals like Yours and Owls and playing with the likes of Hockey Dad, Good Boy, Ruby Fields,
Crocodylus, West Thebarton and Step Panther along the way.
The Archy boys now have their EP 'Mates Rates' under their belt and have just released their new single 'Another Dying Dream' with a new EP on the way for 2018.
- Tropical Strength Tropical Strength consists of two brothers, Sir Dinsington and Al Foil. Dinsington and foil make aural pastiche collages and experimental #1 hits haunted by the past, the present and the inner psyche.- Paradise Club
Using their lyrics as an emotive conduit, Paradise Club brush against the washed out haze of dream pop's golden age throughout the 80's, whilst leaving sonic hints of their youth spent cutting their teeth in the mosh pits of Adelaide's hardcore scene. Born of DIY roots, every aspect of Paradise Club's output is created in-house. From song inception, through recording and mastering to the production of their music videos, every member has a pivotal part to play in the creation of their sonic and visual aesthetic. Nationally, they've toured nationally with some of Australia's best and brightest (Trophy Eyes, Endless Heights, etc.), whilst locally supporting the likes of Ocean Alley, Northeast Party House and West Thebarton locally. Even at this early point of their career, the band are no stranger to the big-stage, having performed at festivals such as Stonecutters, A Day of Clarity and more. PC have enjoyed big love from triple j too; having been handpicked to play Adelaide Laneway Festival in 2018 by the broadcaster, being spotlighted as a triple j Unearthed feature artist in January, experiencing the thrilling (and somewhat bizarre) feeling of having their live set broadcast nationally, chatting live-to-air with Linda Marigliano and copping multiple spins with Richard Kingsmill (2018) and Bridget Hustwaite (Good Nights) across their three singles. With the impressive announcement to Adelaide-based Management Agency Planet Shhh, along with their most extensive national tour to date, comes new single 'Above Me'. The track sees the band move in a decidedly more pop-influenced direction, while still staying true to the dream-emo groundwork laid on previous singles 'Saturday Night', 'Away' and 'Heart of Gold'. Sun drenched, jangly guitars decorate the track and catapult Paradise Club to new, euphoric heights. Going deep, they explore the emotional chasm and chaotic nature of romance; the hesitation, optimism, yearning, anxiety and melancholy of human relationships. It's the first fizzy, sweet taste of their next chapter, hurtling into the limelight of the wider, national music scene.
- Fierce Mild
It's like Mogwai or Explosions In The Sky but with actual vocals, and if that doesn't sound amazing to you, I don't know what will!"
-Kill Your Stereo
A catalyst to engaging and discovering your psyche, and contemplating deeper and darker reasoning, Fierce Mild has been described as a synthesis of David Lynch & The Drones - a group that draws from cinema, visual art and Australian history, as much as any musical influences, to craft their intricate brand of Post-Electro Cinematic Art Rock.
Comparisons aside, the music and artwork of Fierce Mild plays heavily on the idea of awakening the sleeping, and separating from the constructed world around us. Time is altered as multiple moments are displayed at once while the act merges music, sound art and 3 channels of live projection art to create a feeling of synaesthesia where structure completely suspends.
The cinematics of the spectacle are brought ever more to life by Jess Keeffe's electric cello work, whilst the stunning Surrealist-Horror projection works of live-performing video artist Stephanie Peters are matched to beautiful dreamscapes of sound between songs that bind the music together.
