New music is one of the best parts of the inevitable passage of time. Every day, new artists are releasing their specific brand of music to the world, and every once in a while, it catches like fire.
In Australia, there is a thriving musical scene spanning a multitude of genres. There have been many domestic and international hit songs and bands from the Land Down Under over the past few decades, but what about recent music?
We’ve rounded up the best new Australian artists you need to check out in 2024!

This is certainly one to watch!
Aleksiah
One of the best new Australian music artists hailing from Adelaide, Aleksiah’s interesting poppy, occasionally grungy, sometimes-country-adjacent sound is best surmised as indie rock.
