SMALLWAYS. BROKE BRAIN DEBUT ALBUM TOUR

smallways. are a high energy, confronting and comedic art punk two-piece, from Gadigal / Sydney, Australia. smallways. will release their split, two-part debut album titled BROKE BRAIN on October 2nd.

It’s strange, heavy, funny, restless, unpredictable and hard to pin down, just like smallways. You can expect a blend of quirky punk and hip-hop beats on drums, with catchy and rigid 5 string bass riffs, and a blend of melodic and distorted vocals for their live performance.
In the studio, the pair experiment on the spot to create their released tracks.

Box Dye are an alt punk 3 piece based on Ngunnawal land (Canberra). They're known for their energetic and engaging live shows with a strong repertoire of hard hitting, authentic and relatable songs with a feminist perspective. They touch on subjects that represent diversity in the music scene and the story of growing up in a working class culture.

Nuta Mantis are a post-hardcore and alternative rock band based in Canberra (ACT), performing on Ngunnawal land. They're known for raw, emotionally charged lyrics, fast guitar riffs, and a commanding, female-fronted live presence.
