The Sunshine Coast is changing – not through rebrands or big announcements, but through people creating because they have no other option. Not politely. Not neatly. But with the kind of momentum that comes from necessity.

As house prices surge and character towns like Nambour sit in that strange “in-between” stage – part rough edge, part reinvention – a raw, unlikely creativity is pushing up old pavements. From Noosa’s polished edges to Maroochydore’s die-hard indie spine and surf-rock spillovers, the Coast is colliding with itself in the best possible way.

Sunshine Rebellion Vol 1 is the sound of a new coastal culture rising.

Curated by YELO, it’s the music coming out of a new era: sweaty Nambour gigs, skate bowls at dusk, and bands built in garages.

Sunshine Rebellion stands for the kids turning beaches into stages, and the artists mixing genres without caring where they land.

Evolving from back rooms, surf checks and local lineups, Sunshine Rebellion captures a scene that doesn’t wait for permission.

It’s about documenting what’s actually happening right now in plain sight: loud, raw and sun-soaked.

These are the bands reshaping Queensland’s next wave. It’s Dogtown energy – Sunny Coast style.
