Bleak Squad

Australian art-rock quartet with noir edges

RockPost-punk

Listen on Spotify

Jagged guitars, murky bass, and shared vocals give their songs a bruised, late-night feel. The set should move between brooding ballads and loose, shape-shifting jams rather than straight-ahead rock songs.

More about Bleak Squad

Bleak Squad brings together Mick Turner, Mick Harvey, Adalita, and Marty Brown, all names with deep Australian indie and art-rock histories. The project comes out of spontaneous jam sessions and sits close to the orbit of Dirty Three, Nick Cave’s world, Magic Dirt, and Art of Fighting.
