Sleepy Soph

Sleepy Soph is an Albany-raised, Perth-based singer-songwriter who captures the bittersweet yearning of youth through dreamy melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
Her sound blends indie folk and alternative pop, that explore themes of nostalgia, inner conflict, and love. Releasing her debut EP ‘lucky’ in November of last year, sleepy soph creates a soft, cutesie atmosphere for those navigating life’s transitions and lost in daydreams of the past.

Navy June

Navy June are a Boorloo-based five piece carving out their place in Western Australia’s indie scene since 2025. Blending the grit of grunge with the warmth of soul, their sound channels the nostalgic energy of the ’90s while reimagining it for the present day. With the recent addition of a second guitarist, Navy June’s live performance has evolved into a heavier sound, richer in texture, more explosive in dynamics, and impossible to look away from. Drawing inspiration from an unusual blend of artists – Fiona Apple, Hole, and Fleetwood Mac – Navy June create music that feels both familiar and fresh. Their debut single, ’Slip’ garnered over 10,000 streams across platforms and regular airplay on local radio. ‘Please’ and ‘Mister’, their latest has earned high praise and equivalent streams, with ‘mister’ placing #1 for both Indie/Alternative and Rock/Metal on Amrap charts and #6 for national radio. This alongside a steady program of live shows (35 + in 2025 and 10 in 2026 to date), local festival inclusions and major supports is fuelling the rise of Navy June’s industry recognition and rapidly growing fanbase.

Hey So Hungry

Hey So Hungry are a four-piece band who came together in 2022 creating indie pop/indie rock from Perth, WA. Formed in 2022, the band have quickly built a reputation for their energetic live shows, catchy hooks, and emotionally charged songwriting.

Blending influences from The Rions, Middle Kids, Spacey Jane and Florence and The Machine, Hey So Hungry sit amongst Australia’s rising music scene while creating a sound and energy of their own. Their latest single, “Another Lover,” showcases their ability for creating infectious melodies with a powerful upbeat groove. In 2024, the band received a WAM Song of the Year award for their previous single “Nocturnal.”

Since forming, the band have shared stages with numerous artists, including King Stingray, South Summit, The Grogans, and Sly Withers. They’ve also performed alongside Old Mervs at a sold-out show at the Freo Arts Centre, and most recently supported The Rions on the WA leg of their tour.

With strong momentum behind them and a growing fanbase, Hey So Hungry are fast becoming one of Perth’s most exciting emerging acts to watch.
