Rogues

Perth act Rogues have hit the ground running on the Australian music scene and are promising bigger and better things going forward, as they take their craft to new and exciting heights. After meeting in high-school, the group joined forces in 2016 with their collective vision of redefining the modular sounds of eighties synth for a new age more fragmented and discerning than ever before.

The band’s 2017 debut effort (Double Vision EP) saw them establish a synth-laden indie take on arena rock, reimagining the approaches from spearheads like Tears for Fears and The Killers. 2023 took a more contemporary turn for Rogues, with the band trading their 80s aesthetic for a slicker indie pop sound in their debut album 'Home In The Abyss'. Their latest vision abounds with memorable hooks in the vein of Dua Lipa, the lyrical strangeness and slight dissonance of Gorillaz, moody textures of Joji, and cohabited synth and guitar space expected from the likes of Phoenix.

The 12-track debut album was fully self-produced and engineered, allowing meticulous attention to detail and full artistic control by the duo. 'Home In The Abyss' takes you on a 35-minute odyssey showcasing songwriting versatility and exemplifying the band’s undeniable ability for delivering epic soundscapes and anthemic vocals.
