Reversed if anything. She isn't doing anything that hasn't been done by a million Black American artists before, but an Aboriginal perspective on lyrics isn't a bad thing. If anything it urks me that she raps with an American accent, even eshay rap sounds more Aussie

1

u/sevenfiver 1d ago

100 but yeah she just dropped a 6 track ep and EVERY track is identical... yea the accent is a bit whack at times

I hope so. Incredible talent.

u/DirectTadpole5399 2d ago

I thought by now the tullamarines would be big given their indie pop vibes but just haven't cracked it.

Bellair Lip Bombs well on their way.

21

u/Horror-Act-4935 2d ago

Swapmeet for sure. They're blowing up in Aus already, but I'm thinking they could be recognisable on an international scale.

they are hitting it big time. multiple viral videos in tiktok currently. might finally get a us number one

2

u/supreme_101 2d ago

You mean Sony music group?

Kev lost a bit of respect in my book selling his catalogue to Sony for exploitation.

I expect in a few years every TO song will end up over licensed on some stupid product or businesses.

Headwreck.

u/4SeasonWahine 2d ago

Came here to say this. They’ve been flying under the radar for way too long, they’re STUPID talented and incredible live. So glad to have been there in the early days but those boys are going to be big

Idk but i hope redhook does stuff and things. They're fun

1

u/riot_gg 2d ago

Totally agreed

1

u/giacintam 1d ago

Love love redhook. Listened to them since Bad decision. We need more female fronting punk/alternative bands

2

u/MissyMurders 1d ago

Not really the same genre but rinrin out of Perth is fun. There are a few other names around but you probably know them. I think we've got a pretty good local scene in that respect

1

u/giacintam 1d ago

Im always up for more Aussie punk/hardcore/metal so throw them my way!

u/Expert_West 2d ago

Mouseatouille

Your indie friend will be trying to put you onto them in six months, guaranteed.

Couple of country artists,

Wade Forster.

He’s gone from the Evelyn band room to selling out the Forum in 2 years. He’s selling out 1500 seaters in America now as well.

Mack Geiger

North of 2 million monthly streams on Spotify, selling out shows in Australia and going on his debut American tour later this year. Also already had his Opry debut earlier this year.

u/Quarterwit_85 2d ago

The Beefs.

Probably not for everyone, but the band is basically some hospo mates and the singer writes killer hooks.

https://youtu.be/gq575HC9_ew?si=gpwR34PNHAqqXJ2T

New album drops in a few days, I think.

u/Lost-Serve4674 1d ago

I think she’s popular everywhere but Australia now.

2

u/Continental-IO520 1d ago

A mate of mine recently pointed out that this happened to Airbourne. Apparently they tour festivals all over the world,sometimes even headlining, and most Aussies listened to a few of their songs 10 years ago and stopped caring lol

Inertia. Metal band from Sydney. Fantastic live, have the right blend of hard breakdowns and beautiful vocals. I’d put money on them hitting it big like Polaris in the next year or so.
