CIVIC

CIVIC, the five-piece came together in 2018 through the traps of the Melbourne music scene. Bonding over a shared love of tightly coiled riffs and a collective musical ethos, they channeled this into their first EP “New Vietnam”. In a head rush recording session, the 7 tracks were slammed out in a single day, with the underground hit going on to sell out of several pressings worldwide. Making a name for themselves through the intensity of their live shows, their "New Vietnam" launch would become one of those folklore moments within Melbourne.

Taking to the stage with a contoured cheek and darkened eyes, McCullough’s glamoured stage presence beamed and boomed over the sold-out crowd. Cutting through the scene with cult-like vigor, their garnered momentum would lead them to a string of sold-out 7 inches, a European tour, a spot on the beloved Golden Plains Festival, a newfound home on the revered Flightless Records, and a fan in punk icon Henry Rollins, “I am digging that band… not one bad track in their recorded catalog”.

With momentum in the tank, they took to various locations across Victoria and got started on their new album "Future Forecast". There’s the horn fuelled drive of album opener ‘Radiant Eye’, the power-pop ladden hook of “As Seen On Tv”, the emotively atmospheric and vocally subdued “Sunday Best”, culminating with closer “Come To Know”, before ending in a tightly wound splay of feedback and groove. The band will release their third full lenght in 2023. "Taken by Force" will overpower your speakers February 10th

Roda Lits

Roda Lits is a four-piece garage rock n' roll band hailing from Antwerp, Belgium. With a sound that's unapologetically gritty and raw, Roda Lits' music pays homage to the classic garage rock of the past while infusing a modern edge.

After releasing a self-titled EP in 2017, Roda Lits followed up in 2018 with "Common Specimen / Indoor Mold", a 7-track album where the best kind of noise, a tribute to Olivia Newton John and general weirdness seamlessly blend together.
