WAAX

Waax (stylised as WΛΛX; pronounced "wax") are an Australian rock band from Brisbane, Queensland that formed in 2012. The band was co-founded by drummer Tom Bloomfield and lead vocalist Marie "Maz" DeVita, who oversaw every iteration of the line-up until 2023. Waax have released two studio albums, Big Grief (2019) and At Least I'm Free (2022), as well as two independent EPs Holy Sick (2015) and Wild & Weak (2017).

The band won the Triple J Unearthed BIGSOUND competition in 2014, and their single "Labrador" won the No. 1 spot on the independent Brisbane radio station 4ZZZ's Top 100 in 2018. In 2019, the single was voted into Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2018 at No. 88. In 2022, they again won the No.1 spot on 4ZZZ's Top 100 with their single "Most Hated Girl".

In April 2023, the band announced they were to go on hiatus. Following what were believed to be the band's final shows that June, DeVita announced in November 2023 that she would be continuing the band as its sole member.
