ASSASSINS are a noise pop duo from Canberra, Australia, known for their eclectic, DIY-driven approach that blends lo-fi textures with melodic songwriting. Their music spans a wide range of styles—from cyberpunk-influenced experimentation to garage rock—while maintaining a raw, underground aesthetic. Their 2025 album Street Magick marks a return after a decade, shifting toward a more melody-focused and song-driven sound while still retaining rough edges and DIY production. The record is conceptually rooted in nostalgia and digital-era culture, described as a tribute to “MySpace, memories and mp3s.” The album reinterprets material from cult figure Jonny Telafone’s early work, alongside new original tracks, highlighting the band’s mix of reinterpretation, collaboration, and experimental pop structure. Despite evolving sonically, ASSASSINS continue to embrace a raw, independent ethos tied to underground music scenes.
