Elestial Drop Awesome New Single, “Guinness”

It’s Friday and we’re all ready to slip into weekend mode, so it’s the perfect time to share Elestial’s brand new single “Guinness.” Fresh on your streaming services today, this is a cracking track from the independent four-piece from Mulubinba/Newcastle.

“Guiness” explores themes of infatuation brought to life through Elyssa Hawkins’ compelling vocals. I can just imagine belting out this one with mates at a pub after a few too many pints.

Elestial will launch “Guinness” this Sunday, April 26, at Dissent Café and Bar in Ngambri/Canberra. Tickets are on sale now through Humanitix.

Elestial Impress With Angsty Single, “The One Mistake”

I’ve always said that you don’t need the backing of a big label or a lot of studio wizardry if you’ve got talent. In fact, sometimes without all the polish you can hear music’s true beauty. That’s the case with “The One Mistake” from Mulubinba/Newcastle band Elestial.

Frontwoman Elyssa Hawkins’ vocals drew me in from the start. Her captivating voice brings to life the pain of losing a friendship and being stuck in that space of grief when the world’s expecting you to move forward. Drummer Toby Stuart, lead guitarist Rohan Donnolley, and bass guitarist AJ Russell match her intensity, creating the sort of track you can imagine breaking down in your bedroom to or screaming in the car with your windows rolled down.

Elestial have a couple of shows happening in the coming months, including a big local gig to launch “The One Mistake.” Here are all the dates you need music lovers!

5 September 2025 – King Street Hotel, Mulubinba/Newcastle
10 October 2025 – The Vic on the Park, Eora/Sydney
