Internet Romance – I.R.L EP Launch

The Evelyn Hotel | 8pm 9 October 2026

Melbourne alternative rock band Internet Romance celebrate the release of their debut EP, I.R.L (In Real Life), with a hometown launch at The Evelyn Hotel on 9 October.

I.R.L is a celebration of stepping away from the screen and into the moment, building community, and embracing the messy joy of pursuing creativity together in real life. Blending driving guitars, infectious melodies and sharp wit, the EP explores themes of escapism, feminism, internet culture and the contradictions of modern life. Along the way, you'll find satirical jabs at the manosphere, unexpected Anchorman references, and a healthy dose of self-aware humour woven through emotionally charged alternative rock.

Known for their high-energy live performances, Internet Romance deliver a set that's as cathartic as it is fun. Join them at The Evelyn Hotel on 9th October to celebrate the release of I.R.L, a reminder that the best connections still happen in real life.

Naarm/Melbourne-based songwriter effe creates cloudy pop tracks, steeped in romantic longing. Her debut EP, Solder, is out this Friday, August 7, 2026 via Artist House. Today, she shares the second single, "Tears Always Burn," which ponders the connection between human emotion and bodies of water. Slow burn verses build to a soaring climax, which is dreamy, yet grounded.

On the track, Effe shares: "I’ve always loved that our tears are salty because we evolved from marine creatures, so in a way, we have a part of the ocean inside us all. And when you have one of those body shaking sobs, it can really feel like you are crying out the entire ocean. These two ideas shaped the concept of the song."

effe’s music lingers between sensuality and vulnerability. The ascendant Australian artist conjures bleary scores to bursts of emotion. Trip hop and downtempo grooves frame musings on breakups, girlhood, and connection. The outcome harkens 2000s radio pop, with a wisp of bedroom haze. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Björk, Portishead, and Lana Del Rey, effe creates songs that are dreamlike yet personally raw and equally suited to heartbreak, desire, and reflection.

To celebrate the release of Solder – effe has announced headline tour dates in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane in October with tickets on sale now* (Sydney Free Entry via RSVP)
