Woodlock

Woodlock is an Australian indie folk trio consisting of New Zealand-born brothers Zech and Eze Walters and drummer Bowen Purcell. Formed in 2011, the group's identity was forged through extensive busking across Australia, a background that instilled a distinctive rhythmic urgency and 'stadium folk' sensibility into their songwriting. Their sound is characterized by intricate acoustic guitar work, driving percussion, and the central pillar of brotherly vocal harmonies that draw comparisons to acts like Fleet Foxes or The Paper Kites, but with a more pop-forward, anthemic lean.

After several successful independent EPs including 'Lemons' and 'Sirens', which garnered significant streaming traction and radio play, the band signed with Nettwerk Music Group. Their 2021 full-length debut, 'The Future of an End', showcased a more sophisticated production palette, incorporating chamber pop elements and deeper thematic explorations of grief, hope, and relational shifts. Critically, they are noted for their ability to maintain an intimate, 'bedroom-folk' sincerity while utilizing production techniques that give their songs a cinematic, wide-open feel. They occupy a vital space in the Australian indie scene, bridging the gap between delicate singer-songwriter traditions and the high-energy folk-rock revival of the 2010s.
