Have You Heard: Cool Explosions

Answered by: Elle Young

When did you start making music and why? Cool Explosions started as a studio project in 2015, where the three of us would tinker around in Matt's home studio. Ideas came together quickly which was exciting for us! And now here we are.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Grinding, uncompromising ultra pop!

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? It wouldn't be fair to answer this question on behalf of the band... and well for me it's an insurmountable decision! 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Playing our first ever live show at Jack Shit's (FBI Radio) curated club night at Sydney's Tokyo Sing Song. We were jammed onto a karaoke stage underneath the Marlborough Hotel in Newtown, and it was pretty weird and wonderful!

Why should people come and see your band? Sample-driven beats with live drums, soul-drenched vocals over pop-driven aesthetics aimed directly at the dance floor... 

When and where are your next gigs? 7 Oct, Node 0. We play with BUOY and Eilish Gilligan, then it's back into the studio!
