Alt-Country Rock (Melbourne, VIC)
Renowned for their “reliably rousing working class indie rock” (Dave Ruby Howe, triple j) and their electric, commanding live performances, Eastbound Buzz are a Melbourne-via-Wagga five-piece that have developed a reputation as a band to watch. Since 2020, the Americana-tinged rockers have been selected for inclusion in the BIGSOUND lineup, filled increasingly large venues in their adopted hometown of Melbourne, and supported the likes of Ash Grunwald, Shannen James and Nathan Cavaleri up and down Australia’s East Coast.
After generating significant excitement with the release of their debut EP ‘Opportunity Shop’, Eastbound Buzz have built momentum with a series of singles that received national airplay and kept audiences coming back for more. The band has been hard at work on new music that may be their best to date, bringing Eastbound Buzz into new sonic territory while maintaining the timeless, evocative songwriting style that has endeared the band to a growing fanbase. With their second EP ‘Yathella’ slated for release later this year and plans to perform for audiences far and wide, Eastbound Buzz are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
