FRENZEE

(Melbourne, AUSTRALIA – Crete, GREECE // Poison City Records)

Apollonia, Nikos and Adonis, schooled and skilled in the ways of the old, these siblings share a kinetic bond that is erupting in real time and their band is called Frenzee. 

They are Occam’s Razor, hair trigger tight, pulverizingly mean and lean. Born in Melbourne, raised and based on Crete, Frenzee embody the antipodean riffing of AC/DC, The Hard Ons and The Angels but with a heavy dose of their childhood loves Bikini Kill, Motorhead, The Prodigy and Rage Against The Machine. Frenzee aren’t the sum of some list of influences however. They don’t sound like anyone on earth. No other band has the ties to a discipline and skillset like these siblings and yet it does not stifle the dynamic intensity of the band. It just makes Frenzee insanely consistent. Relentless even.

After an endless three month tour of Australia earlier this year, Frenzee moved into the Oz subconscious rent free. Straight after that, they jumped on tour supporting 1000MODS across Europe for a month, creating an eruption of energy at every packed venue they played. October, Melbourne label Poison City Records and Greek label Ouga Booga released their debut long player What’s Wrong With Me.

From raging opener 100 Degrees to the harmonic death of What’s Wrong With Me, the collective synapses of the siblings are firing, bonded by blood. 

The weight is immense. Apollonia paces in the sonic cell between the wall of Adonis’ guitar and the battery of Nikos rhythmical onslaught. It’s synchronicity and devoid of artifice. Just big raw power. No, not power. Something more honed and refined and terrifying. Pressure. So much pressure. The maximum pressure any one person can put on a string, a snare, a room, a community or a system. Welcome to the pressure age.

SOFT PALMS

( Los Angeles , USA // Everloving Records )

Soft Palms is the immersive dream-pop project of Julia Kugel and Scott Montoya, a Long Beach-based duo crafting expansive, hypnotic soundscapes from the comfort of their home studio, Centre of Mental Arts (COMA). Blending lo-fi warmth with textural sophistication, Soft Palms feels like a lucid dream set to analog tape, equal parts meditative, cinematic, and deeply human.

The pair, both seasoned creatives and longtime collaborators, record, produce, and mix everything themselves, operating far outside the confines of traditional studio systems. Kugel (of The Coathangers, Julia, Julia) brings her ethereal vocal layers and lyrical intimacy, while Montoya (formerly of The Growlers) shapes the sonic architecture with a meticulous, vintage-informed approach to engineering and instrumentation.Their 2020 self-titled debut, released via Everloving Records, introduced Soft Palms as a genre-fluid exploration of ambient pop, psych, and shoegaze, garnering underground acclaim for its lush arrangements and DIY production style. Follow-up singles “Wash Your Hands” and “Each Wave That Breaks” (2022) continued that trajectory, thoughtful, textural, and sonically transportive.

In 2026, Soft Palms return with their most expansive work yet: IN ECHO (Everloving Records). Written and recorded at COMA, the album builds on their signature atmosphere while diving deeper into layered introspection, sonic vulnerability, and cosmic repetition. It’s not just a record, it’s a mood, a place, and a reflection of the world turning inward. Soft Palms is less a band and more a state of mind, where sound becomes sanctuary, and each note feels like it was meant just for you.

The album was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by the Welsh producer Owen Morris, who have worked previously with bands like Oasis, The Verve, Ash, Kaiser Chiefs and Madness.
