What?

Cardboard Cutouts are a regional Queensland-based alternative rock four-piece making waves with their raw lyricism, gritty instrumentation and distinctly Australian perspective. Their sound blends nostalgic Australiana with contemporary alternative music, with both rock and emo influences.

Formed in Toowoomba and now based in Brisbane, the band features Eliot Argus (vocals, rhythm guitar), Campbell Patterson (vocals, lead guitar), Sebastian Czaran (vocals, bass), and Rohan Parker (drums). What began as small gigs in local school halls has since evolved into national tours, critical praise and a fast-growing audience drawn to their emotionally vulnerable storytelling and dynamic alt-rock sound.

It’s Acrylic are five best friends making raw and heartfelt indie rock with an emo twist. Winners of the Qube Effect Live Performance Award, they’ve shared the stage with Caligula’s Horse and Full Flower Moon Band, carving out a reputation for emotionally charged shows.Located in Melbourne/Naarm, indie rock sweetheart Elkie Kershaw blends her quirky energy into fun but meaningful hits. Burdened and blessed by her never ending emo phase, every lyric will tug at your heartstrings as Elkie uses her melancholy yet sincere lyrics to weave the mundane experiences of life into hyperbolic musical catastrophes.

Luke Parker is an high energy indie-pop artist from Toowoobwoob (Toowoomba). Known for storytelling, his interactive performances and banging covers, the exciting young artist has been lighting up stages across Brisbane.
