Stand Atlantic may have just torn up the ARIA charts with their new album WAS HERE, and packed out the biggest venues of their career on their celebratory Australian East Coast headline tour, but the Sydney-spawned foursome are never ones to make it all about themselves.
Despite riding high on the wave of hype surrounding their shiny new fourth studio LP as they shimmy into BIGSOUND for their first ever artist showcase, the genre-hopping alternative rock act have still taken the time to shoutout ten of their favourite tunes from other homegrown artists who are killing it right now. Suss weapon frontwoman Bonnie Fraser’s exclusive playlist down below.
