Victorian born and bred, the band has cut their teeth playing gigs in iconic venues around Melbourne supporting local bands including Pinch Points, Zig Zag and Billiam and at Rah! Rah! festival. The Vovos made it to bigger stages from 2020 when they supported Skeggs and Ruby Fields at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl, later playing Moomba, Boogie Fest, and at the ABC on Spicks and Specks.
As young underage female musicians, the bands’ first two early EPs - Constructive Criticism (recorded with Anna Laverty) and An Ode to my Beloved, and debut album ‘Jana’ reflect the struggles of teenagehood and the importance of inclusivity as well as a love of chickens, carnivorous plants and two minute noodles. Their music has been praised as “scuffing up the outsider indie pop of The Moldy Peaches... with punky abrasion” earning 4 stars from NME. Trouble Juice labels the band as “rising garage-pop upstarts” with “radiant hooks, contagious energy and irreverent indie-rock charisma”. As the band developed, other more interpersonal themes emerged with a focus on relationships and community, inspired by the music scene they grew up in.
General Waste is a high-energy pop punk band hailing from the
Rhondda Valleys. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like
Paramore and Bowling for Soup, General Waste channels the spirit of the early 2000s with their infectious melodies and rebellious
anthems. Formed by a group of friends with a shared passion for
music, the band quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying
live performances and relatable lyrics. With a sound that blends
catchy hooks, driving guitars, and heartfelt vocals, General Waste
aims to transport listeners back to the golden age of pop punk!
