Since forming in late 2023, Australian Autistic Punk band, Relays, has released a series of independent, non-politically correct singles that have collectively amassed over 30,000 plays on Spotify, making them a rising name in the Aussie underground punk scene.
The band’s growing buzz can be attributed to their blistering live shows, characterized by an element of unpredictability thanks to Autistic/ADHD/Dyslexic frontman and guitarist Shann Lions, along with the rhythmic consistency of lead drummer Mik Weird and the youthful energy of bassist El Wellard.

Relays’ debut self-titled album was recorded on two inch tape at Head Gap with Finn Keane ( Wilco, Courtney Barnett ), Produced By Shann Lions. Relays was released independently on Cassette/Vinyl October 2, 2024 gaining worldwide radio play, press, taste maker playlists and a converted slot at Chopped Festival alongside acts such as Cosmic Psychos and Delivery. Relays self booked a 23 date Australian tour in late 24/25 to hit the highways to promote their debut album. Relays in mid 2025 are recipients of a Creative Victoria’s New Works Music Grant, plus were hand picked by local iconic’s You Am I to support them at a recent sold out show. Due to a recent music industry frenzy due to their unpredictable live shows Relays are recording their sophomore album in the first week of September in hope for a mid 2026 release.
