About us
“When you feel apprehensive about the headliner’s ability to live up to the support act, you know you’ve witnessed a band that’s on to a good thing. A bloody good thing in the Haunted Attics’ case. If I saw them again anytime soon I’d already be singing along to half their set; such was the way of their downright catchy songs. Joyous pop hooks, charming melodies and swaggeringly strong rhythms coiled around delightfully quirky lyrics.”
[Supporting Offcuts] - Julia Winterflood - BMA Magazine Issue 274
Formed in 2007, Haunted Attics consists of Jacob (Vocals/Guitar), George (Lead Guitar), Nigel (Keys), Adrian (Bass) and Garth (Drums). Their music is characterised by a balance between hope and fear, success and failure, anger and forgiveness, dancing and thinking.
Haunted Attics’ sound is a mix of musical influences and the contrasting musical backgrounds of its members. The band cites influences ranging from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and The Doors, to Grizzly Bear, The National and Deerhunter, to Wu-Tang Clan, dubstep and the soundtrack to the Lion King. Their songs blend quirky and sometimes sinister lyrics with intense melodic landscapes.
Haunted Attics have played all around Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney including shows supporting The Temper Trap, Cloud Control, The Offcuts, Richard in Your Mind, Aleks & The Ramps, The Whitlams.
They are currently demoing tracks for their new EP to be released later in the year.
