Exiles, a four-piece rock band from Melbourne, Australia: Their music—a gritty blend of post-punk energy and rock 'n' roll swagger—captures the spirit of their live shows, translating the raw, unbridled energy of their performances into every track they lay down. The band's journey began in the heart of Melbourne's bustling music scene, where they quickly distinguished themselves with their electrifying live shows. Known for their dynamic performances, Exiles have a reputation for connecting with audiences through a powerful display of raw emotion, with a sound is characterized by urgent rhythms, brooding basslines and angular guitars making every show an unforgettable experience. In an ambitious move to channel this live energy into their recordings, Exiles teamed up with renowned producer Alex Markwell, known for his work with The Delta Riggs, Jet & Mark Ronson to capture the essence of their sound. The result was their debut album recorded over four intense days, a process that was both live and loud, aiming to encapsulate the band's explosive live set's energy and spontaneity. This recording approach allowed Exiles to deliver a sound that is both polished and profoundly authentic, bridging the gap between studio precision and the chaotic thrill of live rock music. Their influences are evident in their music, with nods to the garage rock revivalism of The Strokes, Les Savy Fav and the post-punk abrasiveness of The Fontaines. Exiles' music is a testament to their ability to draw from their inspirations while pushing the boundaries of their sound, creating a distinctive blend that is both nostalgic and refreshingly innovative. As Exiles continue to make waves in the rock scene, both in Australia and internationally, they remain committed to delivering performances that are nothing short of incendiary. With their latest album, they promise not just a collection of songs, but a visceral experience, inviting listeners to witness the raw power of their music as if standing in the front row of one of their intense live shows.
