Tempest
Identical twins Toma Banjanin (vocals) and Andy Banjanin (drums) grew up on the sunny west coast of Australia. Together they founded the indie rock band Tempest ten years ago, which is inspired by the west coast sound of the 70s. Their debut EP Must Be A Dream received millions of streams after its release. Last November their 3rd studio album Forbidden Fruit was released, which has become a personal and narrative record.
Geowulf
Geowulf , also founded down under, originally consisted of the duo Star Kendrick and Toma Banjanin (Tempesst). As Geowulf, they make lo-fi dream pop, with lush vocals from Kendrick. After Banjamin left the project in 2022, the singer continued the project solo. The recently released Stay Baby was already positively received by Dansende Beren, among others, and the first solo album The Child will follow on January 17 .
Roofman
Melancholic indie folk songs, that always have a certain vulnerability. Thijs van der Meulen alias Roofman has a special charisma that makes people listen to him. His melancholic songs, which he sometimes breaks with humorous announcements, have great melodies and are, in the best sense of the word: intense. His new album 8 songs from the bathroom will be released on March 22, 2024.
