YELO Playlists
Queensland music, before the algorithm works out where Nambour is.
YELO playlists are hand-selected for people who want to hear what is moving through Queensland now. From new local sounds and fruit-bowl indie to red-dirt roads, coastal walks, smoky share houses and long drives between towns.
Pick the one that fits the day.
Queensland music playlists

Bad Weather Girls
Female-fronted Queensland music for bad moods, sharp voices, storm clouds and songs that do not step politely aside.

Raw, offbeat and local. A look into the musical underbelly of Nambour.

Mood, road and weekend playlists
Four Twenty Faded
Queensland-heavy sounds for smoky share houses, slow afternoons and songs that take the long way home.
Esky on the Espy
Coastal beats and breezy sounds for esky walks along the espy, low tide air and nowhere urgent to be.
Great Southern Surf Club
Australian indie surf rock for sandboarding, servo stops, melted ice creams and cars full of sand.
Red Dust Radio
Australian classics for sunburnt highways, tin-roof pubs, dusty backroads and choruses that come back before you know the words.
Built for the local music rabbit hole
The YELO playlists are updated as new artists, releases and local sounds come through.
They are not trying to flatten Queensland music into one neat “local” bucket. The state is too big, too weird and too sunburnt for that. These playlists sort the noise by mood, place and scene, so listeners can move from a Sunshine Coast discovery to a Brisbane band, a Gold Coast groove or an old Australian road song without losing the thread.
