Uncomfortable feelings with a pop sensibility. ZUKO. is an Indie-Pop outfit based in Canberra. They like to re-imagine pop music and provide the soundtrack to a dance party for the jaded. Genres don't matter. Drunk, anthemic choruses are a must. Roshan takes care of the vocals and production duties while Jackson provides the sticky guitar hooks and much needed moral support. Exploring select elements of pop-so-far, ZUKO. are constantly evolving their sound and are just starting to hit their stride.

Brisbane hardcore outfit ZUKO have rapidly become a force to be reckoned with in Australia’s thriving heavy music scene. Since forming in 2021, the five-piece have built a reputation for their savage, groove-filled sound and locked-in live show. Their rise has seen them join the Immortal Music Group roster alongside Make Them Suffer and Northlane, tour the nation with the likes of Alpha Wolf, Malevolence and Heists, and support international heavyweights Stray From The Path, Spite and Varials. With appearances at Froth & Fury, TerrorLoud and Rhythm & The Reef, plus a fully sold out Australian headline tour in February 2026, ZUKO are gearing up for a takeover - and are ready to represent the next generation of Australian hardcore. Their new EP 'Built For Pain' will be released on August 7.
