sleepazoid are an alt-rock quintet comprising vocalist and guitarist Nette France, bassist Josef Pabis, drummer Luca Soprano, and dual guitarists George Inglis and Jim Duong. Fusing the raw energy of grunge, the atmospheric depth of shoegaze, and the driving rhythms of post-punk, the collective offer a distinct and assured sound best exemplified in their self-recorded and produced 2025 debut running with the dogs. Early 2026 saw the release of their follow-up EP New Age, building on the foundation of the debut and further cementing their place as one of Australia’s most compelling emerging acts. In 2026, the band were named among NME’s 100 Essential Emerging Artists and will make their international debut at Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival later this year.
