Heart Beach

**Heart Beach** is a charming indie pop trio from Hobart, Tasmania, known for their jangly guitars, lo-fi textures, and dreamy vocal harmonies. Formed in 2012, the band consists of Claire McCarthy (vocals/guitar), Christopher Wessing (guitar), and Jonathon McCarthy (drums), blending surf-rock breeziness with a DIY bedroom-pop sensibility. Their self-titled debut album (2014) and follow-up *A Side/B Side* (2019) showcase their knack for catchy, sun-soaked melodies tinged with introspective lyrics, earning them a cult following in Australia’s indie scene.

Tracks like “Kiss Your Face,” “Days,” and “Haircut” highlight their signature mix of reverb-drenched hooks and wistful nostalgia, while recent releases like “Elastic” and “Cliffhanger” lean into sharper, post-punk-inspired rhythms. With a reputation for intimate live shows and a warm, unpolished sound, Heart Beach remains a hidden gem of Australian guitar pop, channeling coastal vibes and heartfelt simplicity into every chord.
