From a childhood soaked in hard rock, punk, and all shades of metal, my sound journey took a wild turn after my first electronic festival in 2012 — the energy and vibe lit something in me. Traveling to legendary gatherings like Shambhala and Burning Man deepened that love, eventually pushing me from the dancefloor to the DAW. I started tinkering in GarageBand in late 2024 and quickly levelled up to FL Studio, diving headfirst into sound design.

Tender Tooth makes metal music for the lovers.

Tender Tooth is a dreamy metal band creating ambient worlds to fall into.

Starting in late 2025 - They aim to blend a love of 2000s metal and ambient.

Vocalist and Producer - Jordan - often sings of love, loss and aims to create a world of nostalgia to fall into with each song. They continue to push boundaries in the scene with a mix of Heavy riffs, Groovy drums and ambient bridges.

Primitive Motion is the Meanjin/Brisbane duo of Sandra Selig and Leighton Craig.

Dubious Convictions is an emerging local alternative and post-punk band active in the Brisbane music scene.

Known for delivering a raw, punk-inspired edge, they perform a mix of both original tracks and unique covers. They recently caught local attention with their heavy, energetic live rendition of The Cure's classic track "A Forest" at the Honeysuckle Jam 26 showcase event.
