HEY HARRIETT

-

THEY ARE five Adelaidian indie-rockers with spirits as high as they’ve cranked the volume knobs on their instrument­s. Their biggest tunes are bursting at the seams with authentic and infectious energy, but as proved by slower cuts like “Not Allowed” and mid-tempo head-boppers like “More”, their sonic arsenal is powerfully polychroma­tic and their chemistry impressive­ly dynamic.

THEY SOUND LIKE the band 2020 needs: their art comes from the heart, all down-to-earth and bullshit free, but it’s also fun as hell and delightful­ly sprightly.

YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE San Cisco, The Beths and Last Dinosaurs. They downright master that millon-dollar blend of effervesce­nt guitars and twirling vocals hooks – you can just as easily bop along to them on the dancefloor or sit back and get lost in their transcende­ntal soundscape­s. But however you choose to enjoy them, you’re guaranteed to enjoy them.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT Last year’s debut EP Nipslip, which kicks off on a high note with the jaunty and jammy (and very aptly titled) “Honest”, before rolling listeners down a hill of sprightly pop and breezy folk vibes, all wrapped up in bright, noodly guitars and vocal melodies you’ll almost immediatel­y find yourself singing along to (whether or not you actually know the words). Catch them live if you can, too – it feels truly special to watch these five loveable legends jam and gel as mates in the moment.
