Gena Stone 12:40pm  For Gena Stone, songwriting is an act of discovery - lyrics born from scribbled fragments that reveal their true meaning over time. Dancing between dream-pop and indie-rock influences, she shapes a sonic world of textured guitars, smooth vocals, and shimmering synths that feels entirely her own.

GRXCE 3:35pm  Still searching for the perfect soundtrack to life's ups and downs? Meet GRXCE, the Eora/Sydney-based quartet redefining Australian indie rock.

Yours Truly 5:15pm  Having journeyed their most tumultuous chapter as a band in recent years, Sydney pop-punk favourites YOURS TRULY emerged triumphant with their most accomplished material to date – their second studio album, TOXIC. The band, comprising current lineup of Mikaila Delgado, Teddie Winder-Haron and Henry Beard, engages a new and confident creative rhythm across the album’s ten tracks; one found after processing a grieving process following a relentless touring schedule and departure of two long-standing band members.
