Sydney locals, Body Type are an all-female indie-rock group who are steadily building a reputation as one of the country’s must see acts. Their combination of indie production, punk aesthetics and a bright pop sound made their self-titled debut EP, one of 2018’s best indie releases.
Sydney trio Julia Why? have released ‘Starman’, the second track off their upcoming sophomore album, reflecting on deeply personal issues while diversifying their sound. Hitting the scene in 2015, the group has steadily grown, leading to the release of their second album, Hysteria, later this year.

Kyle Lionhart, a singer, songwriter, surfer and plant eater from Byron Bay, began recording his debut album in November 2018.
