Bio
Get ready to be blindsided - your new favourite band in 2023 is going to be these four Melbourne-based 21 year olds. Radio Free Alice's angular sound feels fresh and immediate – guitars with clean tones and clever notes, melodic bass lines, urgent drumbeats, the occasional sax, and an operatic swagger that should have been honed in a New York art school rather than in the land of Oz.
Already selling out shows in their home town and across the east coast, Radio Free Alice combine an unlikely set of influences that includes ‘80s titans like Talking Heads, The Cure, The Smiths and The Sunny Boys, alongside more recent reference points like Parquet Courts, Ought and The Strokes.
With their unconventional sound, Radio Free Alice has clearly hit a nerve early, with their debut single ‘Square’ racking up over 120K streams online and capturing the attention of some of the most sought after tastemakers in the Australian music industry at triple j.
Their self-titled debut EP came out in 2023, and was supported by shows with Royel Otis, The Snuts, Django Django as well as appearances at SXSW Sydney and an invitation to The Great Escape UK. Expect more releases to come in 2024, as well as a special vinyl release of the debut EP!
