Bottlerockets

Bottlerockets are a 5-piece alt-rock group based in Meanjin. Led by frontman Tom Fitzgerald’s distinct approach to songwriting, Bottlerockets are dedicated to keeping audiences on their toes. Genres shift and influences change, from artsy post-punk à la Talking Heads, the alt-country of Wilco, and the rambling poetics of Nick Cave and Courtney Barnett. Lock it all down with a solid sense of groove and a healthy dose of overdrive, and you’ve got something not worth missing.
