Edit history

Melbourne/Naarm-based Folk Bitch Trio deliver a point of view as undeniable as their songs and voices. Here is a fresh, young band pulling from traditional forms: in their vocals, in their themes, in their songs’ compositional structures. The so-called “trad” isn’t hidden; the harmonies are rich and timeless. But what makes Folk Bitch Trio exciting is they’re unafraid to get a little scuffed up, to be funny, to take risks, to subvert the genre’s expectations and pull it into the present. The result is lively, layered and beautiful; thoughtful and playful in the right places; serious, but never humourless. After a 2024 which saw the release of breakthrough single “God’s a Different Sword” and worldwide shows from SXSW festival to support slots for the likes of Alex G, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Julia Jacklin and Courtney Barnett, the band are currently readying their debut album, due later this year via Jagjaguwar.
