Stormy-Lou are an indie-rock trio from the coast of Kaurna Land/Adelaide. Characterised by their honest style of songwriting and electric live performances, the band shares their experience as young, queer musicians living on beautiful Australian soil. They now look to the highly anticipated release of their debut EP ‘See Ya, Love Ya, Bye!’, a body of work that encapsulates the early era of Stormy-Lou alongside the growth of their songwriting and instrumentation.

Emerging from the forgotten corners of computer hard drives, Junk Harmony is a band that defies conventional origins. Their music is born from the discarded and the overlooked, with songs that were recorded, stored, and left to languish until the right moment. Comprising talent from a range of local Adelaide musical backgrounds including Siamese, Twine, The Empty Threats, and The Vains; Junk Harmony has seamlessly woven their experience into a cohesive musical tapestry.

For the inaugural Swirl Records release in 2025, Adelaide’s indie-folk-rock outfit Day for Caroline have recently launched the third single from a forthcoming album they’re set to unveil through Swirl later in the year. Born out of an unanticipated torrent of inspiration that lead vocalist Jack Willsmore initially strove to suppress, I Regret is, thus far, Day for Caroline’s tour de force, an identity piece that captures the manifold calling cards of their music.

Joining the ranks of Kaurna Land bands to showcase their sounds through Swirl Records this year is Day for Caroline, an alternative folk-rock group formed in the basements of Adelaide University’s Elder Conservatorium of Music. With the November 22nd unveiling of their double single, When The Day Breaks and I Can See, Day for Caroline have marked their first Swirl collaboration with a noteworthy fluctuation from their typical sonic calibre.
