Isis are a much-loved Brisbane band built around the core line-up of singer/songwriters Lucinda Shaw, Rozi Pizzey, Toni Lawson and multi-instrumentalist James Lees. Beginning in Brisbane in the 1990s, they blazed a trail throughout their home city and the nation, becoming known for their elaborately staged shows, genre-hopping music and the three lusciously entwined voices. Many of their songs addressed gender politics, feminism and queer sexuality.

Karma Police are a four-piece alt-rock band with a grunge-inspired, post-punk sound. They are based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Following the release of their debut single in 2025, the band has recently spent time at Airlock Studios in Brisbane, recording an EP with Producer, Cody McWaters. Still in their mid-teens, echoes of early Pixies, Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins come together with their own unique voice, while their wide-ranging live sets channel the energy of Violent Soho and early Silverchair.
