Artist Of The Month: Hellcat Speedracer

Hellcat Speedracer are a Sydney-based electronic duo built on big energy, good vibes and a refusal to follow the rules. After meeting at university and cutting their teeth playing in a band together, Alex and Oli bonded over a shared love of '90s and early-2000s electronic music. What started as jams and experimentation quickly evolved into Hellcat Speedracer, a project driven by creativity, collaboration and a passion for making people move.

Or, in this case, it could be the band you're waiting for. Radial Delay are a Brisbane-based four-piece carving out a guitar-driven blend of indie/alternative rock. Their sound draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, from the modern indie energy of Spacey Jane and The Vanns through to the timeless atmospheres of Pink Floyd.
