History

edit

Sleepazoid was formed in 2024 with two members of post-punk band Sputnik Sweetheart, vocalist Nette France and bassist Josef Pabis.[1] After a successful first writing session, which produced their debut single "Rats", the band self-recorded and produced their first EP, Running With The Dogs, engineered by guitarist George Inglis in Prahran, Melbourne.[3][4] After the release on 6 March 2025, they supported Faye Webster on shows across Australia,[4] and played at Bigsound.[2] They issued their second EP, New Age, produced by Jack Nigro, in February 2026.[5]

Artistry

edit

The band's sound has been described as being a blend of "grunge grit, shoegaze atmospherics, and post-punk urgency, with frontwoman Nette France’s vocals cutting through the chaos."[6]
