Pretty Bleak is a Melbourne, Victoria–based indie rock/pop band known for blending ethereal soundscapes, shoegaze undercurrents, and emo‑inflected pop hooks into a modern, atmospheric style. Their music draws inspiration from punk energy and dark pop influences like Nirvana and The Cure, while embracing contemporary indie sensibilities that resonate with both emo and pop audiences. Pretty Bleak released their debut EP in 2024, featuring lead singles such as *“she’ll come around”* that gained traction on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and were supported with sold‑out shows in Melbourne. In 2025 they continued to grow their profile with further releases, headline shows, and appearances at events like Great Escape Festival and support slots for acts including Short Stack. Their live performances are noted for immersive visuals and a blend of emotive, stadium‑ready guitars with sparkling indie pop melodies, reflecting a creative drive that pushes beyond simple genre labels.
