Creature Fear

What do you get when you take five ambitious and manic musicians from far-flung suburbs and country towns and lock them in an inner-city Melbourne rehearsal room? You get Creature Fear – a compelling mix of 60’s garage rock and modern atmospherics rolled into a full-bore, shoes-off sound that can still whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

Parkville

Parkville are a chart-topping folk-pop trio from Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges, bandmates Liam, Michael and Dylan soon developed a winning formula: a driving Mumford & Sons-style backbone embellished with rich three-part vocal harmonies and soaring violin riffs, taking influence from The Beach Boys and Punch Brothers. The band's unique blend of thoughtful folk and driving pop is hard to pin down, darting between fierce, theatrical and deeply evocative.
