The Tealeaves

The Tealeaves sound is inspired by the era of the great singer-songwriters, including Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel and Don McLean. Their music overflows with melody, harmony and lyrical honesty, and has been described as “heart wrenching to say the least”. James, the original leaf, gathered the group together in 2008 to prepare and record their self-titled debut album with eminent producer and engineer, Hadyn Buxton. Traversing a wide range of musical styles, their songs range from harmony filled wall-of-sound band tracks to intimate, melancholy indie-pop.

Crumbe

A collision point between surf, punk and lyrical candour, CRUMBE is a Melbourne based four-piece with a sound dancing on the fringes of Neil Young and Patti Smith with a raw B52s style groove and a healthy dose of post-punk grit. Lead-singer, guitarist and songwriter Connie Ogan, Kurt Mottershead on bass, Owen Eales on guitar and Scotty Bairdle on drums bring twangy, love-washed tunes to life.
