Edit history

We are Last Quokka, a DIY proto-punk band from the sunny yet isolated reaches of Australia’s west coast. We absorb influence from Australia’s amazing yet often under-rated punk scene. Our music is highlighted by catchy indie riffs, heavy rhythms and hilarious, relatable and often politically charged lyrics. Last year we released our self-titled debut EP, which was extremely well received, and was the local feature album on Perth’s RTRFM in October. It also made the RTRFM Music Director’s top-ten-list for best worldwide releases of 2016.

Formed in 2016 WA punks Last Quokka combine acerbic, socially conscious lyrics, heavy rhythms and catchy guitar riffs to create poignant, dance-inducing punk music. The band have been honing their high energy, anarchic performance over the last eight years, supporting some of the best international punk and rock bands, as well as touring throughout Australia and south-east asia. In 2023 the band were signed to French punk label Mass Prod and alongside their own DIY label Stock Records put out their fifth release, Red Dirt. The album has received critical acclaim, being nominated for an Australian Music Prize and receiving consistent airplay throughout Australia and the EU. In 2023 Last Quokka won a Western Australian Music Award for best punk/hardcore band. They're just released the first single Cost Of Living off of their next upcoming LP, due our in late 2024 and are set to tour Australia on its release.
