Newcastle NSW indie is a music genre characterized by a close-knit community of artists and bands originating from the coastal Australian city of Newcastle, New South Wales. The sound is as diverse as the city's own landscape, yet there's often a charming, down-to-earth quality that permeates the music, with raw lyrical introspection, honest vocals, and a blend of jangly and melodic guitar work. The DIY ethos is strong, and many artists in the scene share an affection for storytelling that serves as a reflection of their coastal urban experiences. From the upbeat, sun-soaked surf vibes of bands like Surf Trash to the heartfelt punk-inflected melodies of Paper Thin, and the introspective singer-songwriter approach of Jen Buxton, Newcastle's indie scene radiates an authenticity and passion that captures the spirit of their vibrant hometown.
