Waist is a Brisbane, Queensland-based post-punk band known for blending dark, atmospheric soundscapes with relentless energy and driving rhythms. Formed by Sam Geddes and Alistair Seawright, the duo creates music that fuses brooding melodies, booming drums, and urgent guitar work into a sound that is both cinematic and intensely visceral. Their music draws inspiration from post-punk's moody textures while maintaining the pace and intensity of modern punk rock. The band emerged through Australia's independent music scene with releases including "mtv" and "bravado," earning attention on triple j Unearthed for their distinctive style. Describing their sound as a journey through "dark sonics, barren vistas, and booming drums," waist continues to build a reputation for emotionally charged songwriting and energetic performances. Their influences include Molchat Doma, The Cure, SORRY, and Mareaux, reflecting their blend of post-punk, gothic atmosphere, and contemporary alternative rock.
