I should add to this, Australia has a very strong "alt" music scene, especially in the bigger cities, but really, pretty much most population centres with young people have a "scene", of some description.

So hearing this sort of music is pretty unavoidable, even if you don't really listen to the radio much (me, now). But the "national broadcaster" (Triple J, and the ABC more broadly) also defines much of what is seen as "cool" and "popular"... So they've flogged most of these bands on high rotation at some point, even before I got to see most of them in gigs and the like...

I suppose that is arguably how I got into them, lol. But generally I just hear a song in some form of media (TV, radio, at a bar, sports match, whatever), then if I like it, I look up the band, and go from there! Or at a music festival and then the same, lol. Which works, but is also why all of those acts are Aussie, haha.

They're not necessarily my favourites. They're just my favourite "current shit", lol...

Also Wolf Alice. I quite like Wolf Alice. Who are obviously not Aussie.
