The Moving Stills

The Moving Stills are a Pop/Alt Rock band from Macmasters Beach, NSW. Wading through Surf flavours and Sweet Garage/80's New York sounds, with acoustic driven numbers and pop melodies that soothe and stick.

The Stills released their latest single ‘Nineteen’ in January 2018. Working with Sydney producer, Ian Pritchett. ‘Nineteen’ , the single, speaks to the bands age and is an ode to the bitter sweet inevitability of age and adulting. It's inspired by their two years out of high school and navigates their growth over that time. Setting the tone is Tom’s vocals, with the familiar grunge and acoustic driven sticky surf-rock setting pace, not too shy from the likes of The Growlers and Catfish & The Bottlemen. The single scored plays on Triple J’s Home and Hosed show with Declan Byrne. It also features on multiple Spotify playlists including, ‘Chords + Cardigans’ and currently has 43.6K streams.

2014–2015: Formation and debut EPs
Vocalist and guitarist David Novak and drummer John-Henry Pajak started the band in 2014. Originally a four-piece, they decided to go their own way, telling SBS News in 2017, "We halved the numbers and booked a room for three hours, and we had five or six songs." The duo's name refers to both members having Polish descent.

Polish club uploaded the songs "Able" and "Show You Love" onto Triple J Unearthed on 5 January 2015, followed by "Did Somebody Tell Me", on 2 February 2015. Nick Hartman from Happy Mag reviewed all three, saying, "'Able' is probably the best of their three songs so far."

The duo released their self-titled debut EP in October 2015, with Hartman saying, "Polish Club by Polish Club is overall an effort [they] can be proud of, with Novak and JH displaying a high minimum standard."
