Great Australian Bank is a bastardised Australiana / post-punk quartet hailing from Naarm (Melbourne). Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Church, Sonic Youth, Underground Lovers and The Go-Betweens, the band channel a sound that is equal parts angular, melodic and nostalgic.
2024 saw the release of Great Australian Bank’s debut album ‘To The Dry’. Recorded and produced by Rohan Sforcina (Gold Class, Oh Mercy, Radio Free Alice, Adalita), ‘To The Dry’ is a stark reflection on personhood in Australia’s oppressive history; articulated with energy and grit.
‘To The Dry’ is being issued on vinyl for the very first time. To celebrate, the band are taking ‘To The Dry’ on the road across Victoria and Tasmania, joined by a party of amazing local bands.
Great Australian Bank are taking their signature post-punk sound to Tanswells for the first time, joined by Naarm-based heavies The Mundaynes. Free entry. No holds barred.
