brisbane

Innovative indie pop from Brisbane, Australia.

In February 2005, Auckland-based guitarists Antony Royle and Derek Wu teamed up with South African classical violinist Yvette Van Wyk to form an experimental symphonic metal project called Iraena’s Ashes. Joined in the studio by bassist Kris O’Brien and drummer Robert Bryson, the group recorded two tracks which would signal the beginnings of a new brand of Kiwi Metal.
Later that year, the 5 track ‘Severance’ EP was released by the band now known as ALPINE FAULT.

Rob Robot is the name that unites four dudes who like to play bulk music. Since forming in 2009, Rob Robot have blasted their way onto the local music scene with their unique sound and style which has been described by some as ‘anthematic indie’. Brothers, Pat on guitar and Jak Pearson on bass, developed their love for music early on in a shed in Central Queensland. They are joined by energetic lead vocalist, Jamie Bell, and dynamic drummer Kane Donoghue to produce catchy melodies, melodic riffs and high energy and unpredictably entertaining performances.
