Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry / PWYC biting Melbourne post-punk streaked with grunge and shoegaze from former electronic singer-songwriter Enola Gay. Balancing unrestrained ferocity with brooding introspection, this ain’t your everyday crankwave FFO: Suicide, Drab Majesty, Boy Harsher, The Soft Moon, Drahla."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Naarm/Melbourne based musician ENOLA infuses hard hitting tracks with a stinging vulnerability, applying the salve to the self-inflicted wound. With an instinctual understanding of the balance between heightened drama and grimy reality, ENOLA is simultaneously screaming from the rooftops and digging their nails into the cracks of the pavement.
Their raw post-punk is underpinned by a background in electronic production, melded with the grunge and shoe gaze ever present in their home base of Naarm/Melbourne. In the same vein as Shame and Fontaines DC, ENOLA traverses boundless plains musing on isolation and in search of catharsis. Poignant and uninhibited, their vocals are a punch in the gut, leaving a familiar pang felt in the most unexpected ways.
An enigmatic performer, ENOLA brings a wild energy, holding audiences so tightly captive that static builds and lightning could strike, splintering it all apart at any moment. Having supported the likes of Sleaford Mods, EKKSTACY, RVG, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Divide and Dissolve all in the last year, ENOLA has made a name for themselves as one of the most exciting live acts in the country. Delivering the urgency of IDLES and atmosphere of Joy Division, ENOLA have carved out their own unique sound, an important and powerful contribution that needs to be heard.
