Oscar the Wild

OSCAR THE WILD Since their inception in 2018, Oscar the Wild have left a lasting impression on every room they have played. The Tarndanya/Adelaide band, born out of school music ensembles and propped up by life long family friendships, have left their mark with their unique brand of indie rock, punk and pop. Their live show has proven them, time and time again, as a force to be reckoned with, and has seen them opening up for the likes of Bloc Party, The Beths, Harvest Rock and most recently ACDC. Not to be missed; Oscar the Wild returns to Naarm/Melbourne for the first time since April. GUSH Influenced by the enormous guitar rock of the ’90’s, GUSH have forged their own sound through triumphant fuzzed-out guitar, melodic bass lines, and huge hooks that permeate throughout their music. Occupying a space between the Melbourne shoegaze, indie, and alternative scenes, the band blends songs about everyday life with an emotionality that makes you want to dance and cry. LOOCH Fresh off the back of releasing their track ‘SHOO’, Tarndanya/Adelaide rockers Looch are quickly becoming ones to watch. Self-described as ‘4 mops’, their debut album PASS THE LOOCH pushes an Aus-Punk revival sound, reminiscent of old Dune Rats, Hockey Dad and Violent Soho. _PRESENTED BY BEN’S AND RECS AND SHOTKICKERS_
