MAGPIE

Conceived in the filth of the eastern suburbs, MAGPIE is a high octane punk (genrefuck) Band hailing from naarm, It was about 30 minutes after Drummer Koby Pohls interrupted Tobacco Sales Representative Angelo Adamoboskolus’ revolver back alley orgy (to ask for a bump of coke) that the two knew they should start a band, being that they were white men and none of them could stay sober long enough to record a podcast, thus, MAGPIE was born.

SAGE

Sage is a solo trans punk artist from Melbourne/Naarm, known for her attitude, scream like a wailing banshee and “in-your-face”, politically charged “Bitch Punk”. Sage uses her music to express her disgust for violence against women, homophobia, transphobia, factory farming,capitalism, social media, war and the feeling of being an outcast in today’s society.

Sage is a direct product of the current state of the world. Sage is a rally cry for the oppressed. Sage is fucking pissed.

UNSCORED
Unscored are a four-piece garage band based in Melbourne, Australia. They fuse elements of punk, grunge, psych, indie rock, and whatever else they can think of to create a DIY sound they call their own. Through these genres, they create story and character driven music with in-house art to convey a full emotional experience.

PAPER ST

Inspired by the raw energy of Royal Blood and Måneskin, the angst of Olivia Rodrigo and Paramore, and the theatrical grit of My Chemical Romance, Paper St is a Melbourne based band that delivers a dynamic fusion of heavy riffs, hard hitting hook-driven vocals, and creative groovy drumming.

VIOLET TENDENCIES

Violet Tendencies (formerly Breakaways) are a punk rock band from Naarm, born out of the heart of the Frankston music scene. The five-piece blend the raw power of punk with flashes of reggae and metal creating a sound that hits hard yet refuses to fit neatly into any box. Known for their high-energy live shows and attitude.
