The band is fronted by trans Southeast Asian voices and formed around a passion for gritty, emotional music that blends elements of punk, grunge, shoegaze and post‑hardcore. They perform with a visceral punk edge, combining visceral riffs, intense rhythms, and emotionally driven vocals that reflect both the 90s rock ethos and modern underground influences in Melbourne’s alternative scene. The core lineup consists of Benny, Josh and Cell (sometimes also noted as Jersh in performance credits a three‑piece unit that writes and performs their own original material. They have released music including tracks such as Trash Communion (2024) and continue to build a local following through live gigs in independent venues across Melbourne. Their music, often described as gender‑grunge and punk‑infused rock, draws from underground rock traditions while giving voice to queer and DIY culture, making them a standout act in the city’s vibrant alternative music community.
