10 Sunshine Coast artists on our radar right now
These are the local artists we keep coming back to right now. Some are brand new, some we just can’t stop playing, and all of them are worth a listen.
Calan Mai
Warm, sharp-edged folk-rock with proper songs at the centre of it. One of those local bands that keeps pulling us back in.
Read more →VERATIE
Dark, melodic alt-rock and nu-metal from the Coast, with debut album IN//HUMAN pushing the band into a bigger chapter.
Read more →The Wolston Butchers
Fast, scrappy punk with a 90s West Coast streak and absolutely no interest in polishing off the rough edges.
See more →Brook St
One of those Sunshine Coast acts that keeps earning another play. Easy to like, easy to come back to.
Betty Taylor
Dreamy Sunshine Coast indie-pop with serious momentum. New single Fall Right Back landed ahead of a national run with The Dreggs.
Read more →Che Burns
Soulful, guitar-led songwriting with a huge year behind it, including Song of the Year for Devil Like You at the Sunshine Coast Music Awards.
Read more →The Paper Ghosts
Melody, guitar texture and intimacy over big gestures. A quieter kind of local band, and all the better for it.
Read more →Buttermello
Low put them in the 2026 Sunshine Coast Music Awards Song of the Year field, and they remain one of the local names we keep circling back to.
Vandeez
A left-of-centre local pick that keeps finding its way back into the Juicebox.
The Noggins
Easy indie grooves, bright vocals and songs that feel made for driving with the windows down.
