Bio :
Fovndlings—who first formed in the gorge country east of Walcha NSW—have been working on their own lyrical form of cowpunk for the past five years. The band consists of Hugh Cook (drums), Steve Tafra (guitar and piano accordian), Tom Walsh (bass), Brendan Passey (guitar) and Adrian Walsh (guitar and vocals). Fovndlings write original music that explores themes of friendship, loss, landscape as lived on the ragged edges of our cities and provincial towns. It is reminiscent of the Australia evoked by bands like the Triffids.
Their debut album which was released late in 2019 and was produced in Norway by the Australian musician and producer Mark Axiak , showcases nine songs that merge poetry with driving beats. The album highlights the diverse influences on their musicianship and song-writing and includes anthemic songs such as Bitumen Roads, Old Mate, Hank Williams’ Funeral Sonnet and The Quiet Room, as well as the song with which they began their journey Going Home (The Great Dividing Range).
Since the album was launched they have released two singles, both with videos.
