Ishta QLC releases a new raw coming-of-age EP about creativity, confusion, and finding direction. The songs, sometimes chaotic, explore restless energy, self-reflection, and the struggle to make sense of it all – capturing the feeling of trying to move forward in an overwhelming world. It’s honest, a little messy, and creates tension between wanting change but not always knowing how to get there.

Ishta QLC have spent years playing the backstreets of Melbourne. Their unique blend of melodic alternative rock and chaotic energy has made them a consistent crowd favourite.

Joining Ishta QLC are local favourites Unscored and Max Aurora and the Southern Lights. Unscored fuse elements of punk, grunge, psych, indie rock, and others to create a DIY sound they call their own. Max Aurora & The Southern Lights are a dreamy, bittersweet indie rock band led by intersex / non-binary songwriter Max Aurora. Blending narrative-driven songwriting with indie, folk, emo and ambient influences.
