THE BELAIR LIP BOMBS
The Belair Lip Bombs are Maisie Everett ( Guitar & Vox ), Mike Bradvica ( Guitar ), Jimmy Droughton ( Bass ) and Liam De Bruin ( Drums ), four close friends from a coastal town in Victoria, Australia called Frankston.
The band has really hit their stride recently with the release of their debut album ‘Lush Life’. The record is 10 tracks of evocative exploration; stories that run a gamut of longing, seeking new horizons and discovering new paths to satisfaction and self-fulfillment. It showcases the bands evolution and song writing abilities with striking indie arrangements and catchy hooks.The album is starting to catch the attention of worldwide tastemakers and the band is gearing up towards a breakout year in 2024.

DUST
Formed against the backdrop of the pandemic in 2020, the project of Awabakal land / Newcastle-based dual guitarist-vocalists Gabriel Stove and Justin Teale, bassist Liam Smith, guitarist and saxophonist Adam Ridgway, and drummer Kye Cherry, dust offers an invigorating new take on Australian post-punk: progressive, catchy, and irresistible. Just as artistically motivated by the fragmented, free-genre steps of Yung Lean and Burial, merging experimental jazz and electronica into a sound as immediate as Inhaler and Violent Soho, this idiosyncratic joining of the fringes comes together much like their roots in the steel city, Newcastle, and the band’s careful balance of in-betweens. Through their debut EP et cetera, etc in 2023 dust set their sights on affirming their position in the local scene as vital and exciting. Born in the middle of periods of normalcy and uncertainty; not quite close enough to the major city scenes nor far enough isolated away; equally inspired by the groups making waves on both sides of the Pacific, dust takes these keen observations to offer an invigorating take on Australian post-punk: progressive, catchy, and irresistible. In time, no doubt a contemporary answer to their hometown’s historic origins.

LAVEDA
Laveda have carved out their place in NY’s ever growing indie rock scene since moving from the state capitol to the heart of NYC’s up and coming underground music hub, Ridgewood Queens. Formed by co-founders Ali Genevich (vocals/guitar/bass) and Jake Brooks (guitar/vocals), with Dan Carr (bass/guitar) and Joe Taurone (drums), the group has evolved from their dreamy indie roots into a charged, experimental force, harnessing aesthetics of 80’s punk and 90’s grunge. Their third studio album, Love, Darla, released on Bar/None Records in September of 2025, cements the band’s new noise-rock leaning sound through ten emotionally resonant tracks that mirror the harsh noise and static of the city they now call home. Far Out Magazine UK praises Laveda’s “coy playfulness, evidence of years spent together finding the best way through a genre overflowing with lazy guitar work and unimaginative drumming patterns” and The Needledrop names them “one of the most exciting bands in the underground right now”.
