Milkbar

We are MILKBAR. An indie punk rock band from the western suburbs of Melbourne just wanting to have fun with our music and want everyone listening to catch that infectious energy when they watch our shows. We've been playing together for about about a year and have been playing gigs all over the city. Although our individual influences are quite different with some of us being into metal and some being into mid-west emo we have found our sound at an interesting point in-between with a vibe akin to the likes of Sum 41, Hockey Dad and Modern Baseball just to name a few. At the moment we are just trying to get our feet off the ground with some recorded songs in our pockets and plans to record much more in the near future. So keep your eyes and mainly ears peeled 'cause we're coming in hot.

LUV4HER

We're 'luv4her,' a chill indie duo straight out of Melbourne's buzzing music scene. Picture this: dreamy vibes, laid-back tunes, and a sprinkle of bedroom pop magic.

Our jams? Well, they're like little stories spun from late-night recording sessions, full of elusive love tales and heartache. While the world drifts off into dreamland, we're here, pouring our hearts into melodies that groove along with the ups and downs of love. It's not just music to us; it's our journey of love, laid bare, one song at a time.

Major Bummer

Major Bummer woke up one evening and decided to place an ad in the Musicians Wanted section of their local guitar shop. It read: “Own gear own transporting no time-wasting band require member(s) to create grand musical project kinda like The Replacements playing Wilco's Being There with Malkmus and Mascis replacing Nels and the other guy while Beach Boys overdub harmonies from their death beds via Skype.” Over the course of a year they received no replies; all 28 tear-off tabs (with landline phone number) remained attached. So they decided to go another way, and just asked their guitar playing friends to join. With world peace, universal harmony and first contact with extra-terrestrials at stake, particular special care was taken on Party Time to get the Guitar Solo / Chorus ratio just right, all the while building intergalactic yet microscopic layers of resonating transmissions that can be sent into space with ease and still sound OK on the white headphones you get free with your ...

Franjapan

What started as a lunch time jam, slowly progressed into ‘Franjapan’, five high school bandmates that have evolved their sound to arrive at where they were always meant to be. Ready to make the listeners take notice, the group have modernised their guitar-centric pop rock influences to showcase their musical capabilities, with a stream of singles released throughout 2022.

Known for their encapsulating live performances and tongue-in-cheek banter, Franjapan are catching the eye of locals in the live music scene with their high energy shows and catchy hooks that make you want to dance.

Taking inspiration from the likes of The Strokes, Sam Fender Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Franjapan combine their individual influences to create their signature sound, making music that’s sure to be found on everyone’s summer playlist.
