This Way North - Years spent on the road touring in Australia and abroad. Certainly this gave two-piece indie pop-rock band This Way North an appreciation for open space and adventure. Landing in north-east Victoria on Dhudhuroa country when the pandemic hit. Long-time friends, collaborators, and partners, Jungalwalla and Leahy traded freedom on the road for a home amongst ancient trees and high-country valleys. As a result of this, it prompted unbridled creativity and culminated in their debut album, ‘Punching Underwater’.The record features big harmonies and strong melodies and was co-produced by Ainslie Wills and Jono Steer.
Whilst their previous records have been about traveling on the road, Punching Underwater travels within the self. The introspective nature came about when Cat and Leisha had the time and stillness to go inward and explore their own insecurities, imposter syndromes, and self-doubts. The battle of trying not to fall in love, confidence and self-love, anxiety. The highs of being content and happy, to the lows of war, the joy of evolution as a woman… there is something for everyone.
“Life affirmingly super unreal!” – Tim Rogers
“This Way North are such an impressive live duo! Their blend of genres is unlike anything else around. Great grooves, and they know how to rock!” – Ash Grunwald
They'll be joined by super special guests Kopasetic
Kopasetic are a six-piece band that delve into the world of mystique hidden within the fusion of roots, folk and reggae music. Their originals and instrumentals thoroughly explore the depths of these genres, venturing from driving off-beat grooves to Celtic instrumentals and delicate folk ballads, dressed with lyrics that touch upon themes of social justice, disillusionment, self-discovery and righteousness.
