  Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Filipino-Australian artist daine is the new soundtrack for a disillusioned generation navigating life in an unforgiving world. Harbouring an almost obsessive passion for midwestern emo and skramz in the likes of Tigers Jaw, William Bonney, American Football and more, daine takes those references from the past and transposes them to something more future facing. Harnessing all the emotion that comes from those early 00s icons, Daine blends those wrought atmospheres with contemporary hip hop production and a saccharine vocal that provides a bittersweet edge.

  An artist born from a DIY ethos and an underground mentality, daine began writing music alone in her room after being inspired by shows from the likes of Turnstile, Basement, Jesus Piece and Code Orange, and credits the hardcore and metal scene in Melbourne for its camaraderie at a time when she felt isolated socially from those that she went to school with. Her first two singles ‘Picking Flowers’ and ‘My Way Out’ are perfect counterparts to reflect this desolation, with ‘My Way Out’’s dissociative euphoria providing a respite for ‘Picking Flowers’ – a devastating display of goth-tinged pop.

  Within her music, daine is writing her own personal diary, and the story is taking shape with every note.

  zzzahara

  Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara (the solo moniker of ex-Eyedress/Simps guitarist Zahara Jaime) has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes, their characteristic stoicism giving way to a newfound sense of purpose. Liminal Spaces, their debut LP from Lex Records, explores a life hanging in the balance between memory and possibility over frenetic Johnny Marr-esque guitar jangle.

  Evolving stylistically, maturing emotionally, and yet still attached to a past scorched by trauma and old flames, zzzahara brings pop sensibility and hi-fi quality to Liminal Spaces that makes their work appealing to anyone and everyone: young and old; straight and queer; introverts and extroverts; the hardened L.A. locals and the daydreaming transplants.

  The Gnomes

  The Gnomes (fka Gnome) is a four-piece rock band from Frankston, Australia, known for their tight sound, classic songwriting, and energetic live shows. Originally a solo project, The Gnomes has grown into a louder, sharper outfit with a full band lineup and a harder edge.

  Taking influence from The Kinks, The Easybeats, and The Lemon Twigs, The Gnomes blends catchy melodies with driving beats, mixing the spirit of the ’60s with a fresh edge. Their sound pulls from Merseybeat, power pop, and vintage rock ’n’ roll, with a modern feel that’s punchy and direct.

  The Gnomes early recordings leaned into lo-fi indie and slowcore, but now as a band their recent works mark a clear shift toward a more energetic, Rock'n'Roll guitar-driven approach. Their shows are full of energy, heart, and a little bit of chaos.

  With a growing list of gigs under their belt and a more focused sound, The Gnomes are carving out a space in Melbourne’s rock scene, one punchy set at a time.
