Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! A veritable supergroup of DIY royalty from Tigercats, Martha, Onsind + more, Fortitude Valley CAN and WILL turn a frosty mid-January Exchange into a sun-kissed chamber of deliriously catchy, shimmering indie-pop-punk. Big-time winter blues buster if you love: The Beths, Alvvays, The Lucksmiths, Dressy Bessy, Diet Cig."
