The Cruel Sea
Formed in 1987, THE CRUEL SEA carved their place in Australian music history with a genre-blurring sound, fusing blues, roots, surf, rock, soul and cinematic soundscapes, led by charismatic frontman Tex Perkins.  Their albums The Honeymoon Is Over (1993) and Three Legged Dog (1995) catapulted them to national stardom, earning them eight ARIA Awards and cementing their legacy with hits like Better Get a Lawyer, Black Stick, Just A Man and The Honeymoon Is Over.


Their 1993 masterpiece, The Honeymoon Is Over, became the soundtrack of a generation, spending more than a year in the ARIA album chart, solidifying the seminal album its place in Australian history.

       


Mark Seymour & The Undertow
MARK SEYMOUR & THE UNDERTOW are led by one of Australia’s finest storytellers, Mark Seymour, whose poetic lyricism and emotional narratives have captivated audiences for more than four decades. Known for exploring themes of love, loss, and human resilience, their music blends personal introspection with a reflection on Australian identity and social issues. The group’s latest album, The Boxer, follows the critically acclaimed Slow Dawn, hailed as “arguably the finest album of Seymour’s storied career” (Rhythms). Their live sets feature iconic songs from Mark’s solo work alongside beloved Hunters & Collectors classics.  

       


Vika & Linda
Dynamic duo VIKA & LINDA are Australia’s favourite singing sisters. They scored their first number one album in 2020 with their anthology ‘Akilotoa. Three months later, their gospel collection, Sunday (The Gospel According To Iso), debuted at number two. And in 2021, they released The Wait, their first album of original material in 19 years. In 2022, VIKA & LINDA were awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for their service to the performing arts.


       


Loose Content
Hailing from Byron Bay, LOOSE CONTENT are a dynamic indie/alt-rock trio that have quickly made a name for themselves on the Australian music scene, playing festivals and touring with legendary acts like Magic Dirt, The Cruel Sea and The Vanns. Drawing inspiration from Radiohead, Courtney Barnett and Talking Heads, they blend pop, punk, and art-indie-rock influences. Their latest single, Where The Hollow People Sleep, showcases their unique sound ahead of the release of their debut album, produced by Nick DiDia (Rage Against The Machine, Bruce Springsteen, Powderfinger).
