Ethereal visuals, ambient soundscapes and shoe-gaze undercurrents form the backdrop to the tunes of Australian band PRETTY BLEAK, whose compositional elements find their genesis in pop and emo. Drawing inspiration from the punk energy of Nirvana and dark pop of The Cure, PRETTY BLEAK showcase their take on 21st century pop. PRETTY BLEAK’s debut EP in 2024 saw support from Spotify and Apple Music, with a sold out launch in Melbourne and lead single “she’ll come around” gaining traction on TikTok. 2025 saw continued growth with the release of their sophomore EP, amassing three million streams, over a million views on TikTok, 1500% listener growth globally, and a hometown show sold out in the three days. The band’s momentum has carried onto the live circuit, with slots at Great Escape Festival and BigSound, as well as having supported the likes of Short Stack, Sly Withers and Eliza & The Delusionals. Set to make their international debut at Summer Sonic Japan in 2026, PRETTY BLEAK continue to take the world by storm with their wave of melancholic, stadium-ready guitars, and sparkling, emotion driven alternative pop.
