    Riley Pearce has been making waves on the Triple J Unearthed charts lately - and with good reason. This Perth act has a unique sound and a rad vibe. What more do you need? Best listened to on the train home after a shitty day in the office.

    Sorta blues-y, sorta dreamboat, Hamish Anderson hails from Melbourne and has been doing big things on the local music scene with a national tour that wowed audiences across the country. He released his second EP, Restless, last October. Get amongst it.

    Wondering what their name means? "A stream or river that is dry through the summer months," apparently. The band recently signed with Universal after being discovered busking on city streets in Sydney. Their music is as good as their origin story.

    4. Patrick James

    You'll probably recognise this dude's voice from one of many Offspring commercials over the years. In any case, his sound is stripped back, soulful, and some other chill word starting with an S. A+.

    5. Kim Churchill

    Kim Churchill hails from Pambula, a tiny town on the far south-coast of NSW. His track Window in the Sky charted in the Hottest 100, and he's currently in the middle of a sell-out national tour. Good stuff.

    This Sydney-based trio consist of Liz Drummond, Hannah Field, Annie Hamilton, and their faces are just about some of the best things to come onto the Aussie music scene in a long time. Evocative of those late summer nights somewhere a few hours out of the city, Little May have nailed their own brand of folksy charm.

    9. Ziggy Alberts

    Lakyn joins that elusive list of TV talent show contestants who actually manage to transcend said reality television and go on to be pretty bloody compelling. He's best known for his stripped back covers and current chart-toppers, and released his debut EP last year. Watch him cover Drake and swoon.

    He also has very nice eyes.
