Hailing from Newcastle (Awabakal), the alternative-pop fem four piece band Butterknife have announced the release of their debut EP, titled “lilith”. Butterknife is known to capture the essence of dreamy indie rock infused with the edge of dark/grungy alt-pop, although that’s just the base line of their ever-expanding soundscape.
Butterknife’s achievements in the music scene speak volumes about their talent and dedication. Butterknife has supported a handful of well-known acts in their time, such as Ra Ra Viper, Dune Rats, Teenage Dads, and Slowly Slowly, across their regional tour. Butterknife was also hand-picked to play as a local support band at Groovin’ the Moo, and has played at Rolling Sets 2023 and The Gumball Festival 2024. As well as being crowned the NSW winners for The Terrys Battle of the Bands competition 2023.
Butterknife’s debut single ‘Misty’ alone saw an accumulation of over 1.8 million streams on Spotify, totaling over 2.4 million streams across all their songs. Their previously released track, “dazed”, saw an influx of positive reviews, including from the likes of Claire Mooney, Stacy Gougoulis and Abby Butler from Triple J– their favorite review being, “Pure magic! Enchanting, psych-tinged indie pop with the right amount of sweetness and darkness around the edges. I loveeeee this!”
