The Band Tambourine is a four-piece band that dabbles in all types of genres, undefined by any one particular sound. a truly unique experience is brought to their listeners. Brought together in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs in early 2026 over common musical influences between members.

Forklift Assassins are a four-piece punk band that come at you at full volume and full fury. They have something to say and say it with no fucks given.

Founded by drummer/vocalist Michael, Forklift has been a staple of the Aussie punk music scene for eight years, having released multiple singles and EPs.

In 2025, they released their first full-length album, Ripsnorter and played over 40 gigs across Australia in support of the record.

Forklift are known for delivering live shows that bring an incredible energy and leaves audiences in a quivering state of blood, sweat and beers ….and that’s just how their fans like it.

Not ones to take it easy, they've kicked off 2026 with a handful of gigs and plans to write and record their second full-length album.

Forklift's songs pull from a diverse range of influences such as The Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Misfits and The Germs to name a few and are rooted in the raw energy of the legendary Motorhead.

Lyrically they range from fun to political and everything in between.
