FAQs

Slowly Slowly

With each new release, from 2016’s Chamomile through to 2018’s St Leonards, 2020’s Race Car Blues, and 2022’s Daisy Chain, Slowly Slowly continue to push beyond creative comfort zones without losing their core strengths. Their music blends introspection, open-vein narratives, and potent melancholia with sparkling pop sensibilities. Marking their most adventurous chapter yet, Forgiving Spree draws on influences from The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, and John Farnham, while also nodding to the raw dynamics of artists like Gang of Youths and Stand Atlantic.

Forming in 2015, Slowly Slowly have since debuted at #5 on the ARIA Albums Charts for 2022’s Daisy Chain, garnered nominations for the AIR Awards, APRA Awards, and triple j annual J Awards, and amassed a loyal fanbase at home and abroad. Known for their world-class live shows, they have supported acts like Amy Shark, Stand Atlantic, and Ocean Alley, headlined globally, and played iconic festivals, including Good Things Festival, Groovin’ The Moo, and Splendour In The Grass.

SUPPORT

Honey Revenge

American pop punk duo Honey Revenge burst onto the scene in 2021 with their debut single, “Miss Me,” featuring catchy hooks and a vibrant aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from You Me At Six, Demi Lovato, the edgier moments of Katy Perry, and Paramore, Honey Revenge released their debut album, Retrovision, in 2023, followed by an extended version earlier this year, complete with new and re-imagined tracks.

In a short time, Honey Revenge have toured with The Used, Loveless, and Stand Atlantic, bringing their kaleidoscopic charisma to audiences worldwide. Next April, they’ll join Slowly Slowly’s Forgiving Spree tour in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.

SUPPORT

Grayscale

Their fourth studio album, The Hart, set to release on January 31, reflects the band’s unwavering commitment to creative authenticity.

Since forming in 2016, Grayscale have toured globally, sharing stages with The Band Camino, The Maine, Gym Class Heroes, and All Time Low. With each new release and performance, their dedicated following continues to grow.
