The Wild Frontier

The Wild Frontier is a militant religious organisation that operates under the guise of a band. Digging under the surface of their sickly sweet pop and prolix power ballads you will discover a festering underbelly of religious zeal and the desire to install theocratic rule in the inner-shire of Sydney, Australia. Putting aside their subversive religo-political agenda The Wild Frontier are an interesting and well loved band that like warm fires, cuddles and belly rubs.

The Tealeaves

The Tealeaves sound is inspired by the era of the great singer-songwriters, including Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel and Don McLean. Their music overflows with melody, harmony and lyrical honesty, and has been described as “heart wrenching to say the least”. James, the original leaf, gathered the group together in 2008 to prepare and record their self-titled debut album with eminent producer and engineer, Hadyn Buxton. Traversing a wide range of musical styles, their songs range from harmony filled wall-of-sound band tracks to intimate, melancholy indie-pop.
