Sly Withers is an Australian alt-rock/punk band, carving a niche in the music scene with their gritty guitar riffs and earnest storytelling. Formed in Perth, Western Australia, the band consists of members Jono Mata (guitar/vocals), Sam Blitvich (guitar/vocals), Shea Moriarty (bass), and Joel Neubecker (drums). They burst onto the local scene with a self-deprecating charm and a dynamic blend of rock, punk, and indie influences that capture the complexities of youth and adulthood.

The group saw a significant rise in recognition following the release of their 2019 album, "Gardens", which expanded their audience and led to the deluxe edition of the record a year later. Since then, Sly Withers has continued to release a stream of singles including "Explode Into View," "Cracks," "Clarkson," and the introspective track "Bougainvillea," capturing relatable emotions through potent lyrics and raw delivery. With a sound that can be both raucous and reflective, Sly Withers has built a solid following in the Australian music scene and have garnered attention internationally for their unvarnished approach to modern rock music.
