Anchored by the magnetic presence of Eliza Klatt (vocals, guitar), the band’s lineup includes Kurt Skuse (guitar) and Ruby Lee (bass). Their music blends emotionally resonant lyrics with soaring melodies, striking a chord with audiences both in Australia and abroad.
2019 marked their international breakthrough with the release of Just Exist. The track resonated globally, securing high rotation on American radio, including SiriusXM AltNation, where it topped the Alt18 charts for an impressive 14 weeks. The song’s success earned the band Q Music’s Rock Song of the Year and Breakout Artist of the Year at the Gold Coast Music Awards in 2020. Riding this wave, Eliza & The Delusionals made their North American debut, supporting Silversun Pickups on a month-long tour that solidified their presence on the international stage.
Despite plans for 2020 being curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the band used the downtime creatively, crafting their debut album, Now And Then. Released in 2022, the album featured collaborations with industry heavyweights like Keith Harris (Black Eyed Peas) and Sarah Aarons (Zedd, Miley Cyrus). Critically acclaimed, Now And Thengarnered a 4.5-star review from Rolling Stone Australiaand was nominated for triple j’s J Award for Album of the Year. The album’s success spurred a sold-out national tour and a return to North America for festivals and another stint with Silversun Pickups.

Written and recorded with collaborators including Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) and mixed by Chris Collins (Royel Otis), the album features contributions from Brian Aubert (Silversun Pickups) and Butch Vig (Garbage, Nirvana). The lead single, Make It Feel Like The Garden, and its follow-up, Falling For You, showcased the band’s evolving sound and was showcased through multiple national tours across Australia.
Released in July 2024, Make It Feel Like The Garden debuted at #9 on the ARIA Top 50 Digital Albums chart, with further accolades across various categories. Plans for a national tour were temporarily postponed when Klatt sustained a hand injury requiring surgery, but her recovery saw the band return to form, touring North America with The Front Bottoms later that year.
With a dynamic blend of heartfelt songwriting and captivating live performances, Eliza & The Delusionals continue to prove they are a force to be reckoned with on the global stage.

Violence System was founded in 2015 by guitarist Joshua Curl and vocalist John Dernar originally as a studio project. The duo went on to release their debut EP “Instinct” in 2016, establishing their unique blend of brutal yet melodic death metal and orchestral elements. Following the release of the Instinct EP, the duo made the decision to form a full band, and make Violence System their main focus. Recruiting lead guitarist Brian Sawyer, bassist Harry Alvarez, and drummer Kendrick Van Deusen, the band was ready to take the Atlanta metal scene by storm. Violence System began writing for their first full length album, as well as playing as many shows as they could in the southeastern United States. Quickly developing a reputation as one of the most energetic and hardest hitting acts from Atlanta, anticipation for the full length album was growing. “Gehenna” was released February 15, 2019, further cementing Violence System as a metal act to keep an eye on. Since the release of their first full length album, the band has gone on to share the stage with bands such as Exodus, Kataklysm, Battlecross, Fallujah, Soulfly and Vatican, as well as become a national finalist in the “Battle For Wakken” international battle of the bands. Violence System is currently working on a follow up to 2019’s “Gehenna”.

Despite various lineup changes, Dallas and Brady held the band’s vision together by taking on multiple roles in the studio, with Brady being the studio drummer on almost every track to date. Through a mutual interest in Black Label Society and Pantera, Dallas and Brady quickly started writing material. The band’s first single, “Caught in the Crossfire,” and their first studio album, “Ritual of Dissonance,” were met with astounding appraisal from old and new fans alike. When the band formed, they gathered an impressive online following with no management, label, or supporting tour. With influences such as Pantera, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Black Label Society, Tool, and many others, there’s no question this metal band has one goal: to follow in their predecessors’ footsteps and make albums that will stand the test of time.

THE CROOKED RUGS
The Crooked Rugs are a psych-rock spaghetti-western band formed in Fort Collins, Colorado. They deliver a captivating blend of rock and roll that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Brining mysterious noise that manages to sound otherworldly and familiar at the same time.
Hailing from Fort Collins, CO these space cowboys are your musical guides on a journey to a universe of mystic psychedelic color. The Colorado quintet takes the compulsory ingredients of modern rock band instrumentation and creates something wonderfully foreign. Echoes of psych, prog, and garage rock resound, but each song is clearly the result of diligent experimentation.
Founded in 2019 by Jayce Haley, Nolan Brumbach, Jay LeCavalier and brothers, Rex and Finn Stowers, this band of brothers transitions smoothly through a variety of tunes to create an unforgettable experience that will take you on a journey through space and time. Releasing 5 albums in the past 4 years, the Rugs are known for their prolific output, telepathic connections, and filling the room with a swath of joyous emotion.

The Band participates in regional festivals such as SXSW, Treefort, Desert Reverie, Endless Fest, Lincoln Calling, Psych’s Peak, & WHAT! Fest.
BIITCHSEAT
Biitchseat was formed in 2017 by best friends Talor Smith (she/they) and Kristin Schmit (she/her) not long after they met in college orchestra. Swapping out their cellos for guitars, they ended up with a genre-bending sound that blends the aesthetic of 90s alt-rock icons like Liz Phair and The Cranberries and re-engineers it into something as catchy as it is complex and timeless.
Biitchseat finds themselves riding through the peaks and valleys of emotional waves as they explore new depths in their sophomore album, Float. An album that is about how every aspect of what it means to be alive is simultaneously so hollow and so very full, and the beauty that resides in between. The unabashed pop and shimmer in their music is only matched by their live performances, which are always energetic and, at times, captivating and vulnerable.
KAT AND THE HURRICANE
Kat and the Hurricane is an all-queer and trans synth rock/indie-pop band from Madison, WI composed of guitarist/vocalist Kat Rhapsody (they/them), keyboardist/vocalist Benjamin Rose (they/them), and drummer Alex Nelson (they/them). The band has stirred up a storm across the Midwest since 2017 thanks to their energetic live shows, strong sense of community, and genre-defying songwriting. While preparing their debut full length album, Got It Out, the trio has appeared at several regional and national festivals, completed 3 regional and national tours, and received the coveted Artist of The Year award from their local Madison Area Music Association.
Got It Out, released in October 2024, represents a new high in Kat and the Hurricane’s craft of catharsis. Seamlessly weaving elements of synth rock, pop punk, indie-pop, alternative rock, indie-folk, and hip-hop across ten tracks, the band speaks to the growing pains of mental health and trauma healing. From the raucous stadium rock anthem, “Therapy,” high-energy pop-punk confessional “Caffeine & Alcohol,” and lush indie-pop closer, “Smoke,” Kat and the Hurricane illustrates how, even with some healing and a lot of getting it out, pain never truly goes away – it simply shifts.

SUN JUNKIES
Sun Junkies are a 4-piece band from Brantford, Ontario. In 2018 freshly out of high school the band formed with sole intention of playing as many shows as possible. Cutting their teeth in the Southern Ontario indie scene as well as touring the USA and Canada’s east coasts, the four best friends have had plenty of time to hone their songwriting abilities and become a strong unit. Over the course of almost 5 years, Sun Junkies have self recorded and released a full length LP, a 7 track EP as well as various singles.
Having just finished recording their magnum opus: “Parachuting”, the band’s sound and image are more realised than ever before. Sun Junkies’ sophomore LP discusses the detrimental nature of the romanticization of one’s past, the existential dread that comes with measurable time and the pressure of fully utilising your fleeting youth. Although it’s mainly about time, “Parachuting” has many other recurring themes and deals with topics such as the soul crushing monotony of the 40 hour work week as well as the coping mechanisms and anxiety that come with such a mundane reality. Featuring an orchestral arrangement of pianos, violins and horns juxtaposed with growling feedback and distorted guitars, these songs feel like the most introspective party you’ve ever been to.
Blending the fast, melody-forward nature of modern indie with the raw feeling and emotion of punk and emo music, the band brings forth a fresh and versatile sound. With an almost masochistic dedication to the tried-and-true ethics of DIY, Sun Junkies record, produce, and mix their own material. They spend their remaining hours honing the craft of their explosively fun live performances, turning every crowd into a dance floor or a mosh pit. You do not want to miss out on the experience that is Sun Junkies.
