Support: Culture Reject

ENOLAs raw post-punk is underpinned by a background in electronic production, melded with the grunge and shoe gaze ever present in their home base of Naarm/​Melbourne. In the same vein as Shame and Fontaines DC, ENOLA traverses boundless plains musing on isolation and in search of catharsis. Poignant and uninhibited, their vocals are a punch in the gut, leaving a familiar pang felt in the most unexpected ways.

An enigmatic performer, ENOLA brings a wild energy, holding audiences so tightly captive that static builds and lightning could strike, splintering it all apart at any moment. Delivering the urgency of IDLES and atmosphere of Joy Division, ENOLA have carved out their own unique sound, an important and powerful contribution that needs to be heard.

For fans of:

Canadian Culture Reject creates lo-fi, post-soul music inside broken pop songs. While drawing comparisons to Metronomy, Talking Heads, Blonde Redhead and the lost soundtrack to a Wes Anderson film”, Culture Reject is a truly original offering.

Starting out as the pop experiment of Michael O’Connell in his 120-year-old Toronto apartment, Culture Reject released a fresh collection of prose-induced, lo-fi pop in 2009, soon characterised as epitomising the boldness of the new Canadian sound.” By now everybody knows that a Culture Reject performance equals a guitar/​synth driven emotional dance party with evocative melodies laying on a bed of R’n’B beats.
