Awesome Indie Music Sounds Like Brisbane

A host of Brisbane independent record labels have banded together to promote the Queensland capital’s flourishing DIY music scene through the Sounds like Brisbane campaign.

Brisbane is a musical melting pot which gave birth to legendary acts like Regurgitator, The Saints, The Go-Betweens, Powderfinger, Savage Garden, and Tex Perkins. It’s also home to new artists I Heart Hiroshima, Yves Klein Blue, Dead Letter Circus, and heaps more.

“There’s no doubting that right now Brisbane’s indie labels are the engine room of the local music scene and the contribution they make should be celebrated and supported,” explained project coordinator Craig Spann. “Despite the fact these labels are often a one or two-person operation, they are ensuring the Brisbane builds on its reputation as one of the world’s most exciting music cities.”

Sounds Like Brisbane will celebrate its official launch on June 18 with a free all-ages show in the Brisbane CBD. Local indie acts including Blowhard, Texas Tea, Carry Nation, Fushia, Halfway, My Fiction, Nova Scotia, The Rational Academy, and The Optimen will play on two stages housed in Burnett Lane and Island Court.

To learn more about Sounds Like Brisbane check out the website. It profiles the city’s indie labels and musicians, and will feature stacks of exclusive content over the coming months.
