The Lineup

On this edition of The Lineup...

GRAPEHOUSE, a four-piece band who blend indie-pop and shoegaze into their own dreamy, melodic, noisy style. Their songs dig into anxiety, decision fatigue, and the realities of growing up.
Their debut single Thinking Way Too Much captures the intensity of overthinking, drawing comparisons to Beabadoobee, Soccer Mommy, mxmtoon, and girl in red.

GROOPCHAT are a three-piece rock band, formed here in 2023. The trio are Huia (bass/vocals), Aiyana (guitar/vocals), and Teina (drums). They draw on the energy of 90s punk and Britpop, and name bands such as Elastica as inspiration, whilst still creating a contemporary sound that's uniquely their own.

KLIFFS are a five-piece coastal funk-rock band who started as high-school mates Ziggy, Tague, Arden, Millie, and TJ. Based here in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, they've built a sound from surf rock, reggae, and groove-heavy indie influences and have a passion for songwriting, combining relatable lyrics with a variety of beats and genres.
