Naarm-based alt-rock band sleepazoid have that scrappy, sweat-soaked guitar edge, with shoegaze shimmer bleeding through the cracks.
The post-punk drive evokes Amyl And The Sniffers, but the occasional softer breaks and melodic hooks explain why they made for a perfect support on Faye Webster’s tour.
New single ‘NEW AGE’ rides an unrelenting thrum - drums and guitar hooks kicking up dust while Nette France keeps her vocals taut, shoulders squared. A brief bridge nods to 2000s alt-rock bedroom bangers, airy and sublime, before the pace drags you back under.
The track captures that feeling of everything racing around you while you try to stay upright, mirrored in Nikola Jokanovic’s video: city neon, flickers of motion, moments that look steady but never hold.
Post-punk, shoegaze, alt-rock… call it what you want, but it’s the sound of a band in full stride.
