Hailing from Brisbane, this genre-fluid Australian band got started by accident when frontwoman Ella Belfanti reached out to another musician to see how an electric guitar would fit into the tunes she’d written. And with the addition of brass, a new sound was born. Now a collective of 8 musicians, they’ve excited live audiences from The Brightside Brisbane to the Woodford Folk Festival. Inspired by The Cat Empire and Hiatus Kaiyote, they debuted with “Skin On Skin” in 2020.

Narrating the harrowing experiences of Ella with doctors who ignored her concerns and gaslit her, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, their new single tells a mournful story wrapped in an invigorating melody. Starting with intricate guitar plucks, the song slowly adds punchy percussion, full-bodied guitars and some brisk brass to give it an emotion-laden anthemic feel. And while capturing the resentment and anger in the authentic vocals, this groove is an imposing protest.
