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. While electronic music remains at the heart of their sound, Hellcat Speedracer aren't interested in staying in one lane.

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. Intoxicating vocal melodies and earworm lead guitar lines soar over warm bass grooves and steadfast rhythms, creating tracks that feel fresh and contemporary while remaining grounded in the soundtrack of the band's youth.
