Collector is the solo project of Jason Campbell. Since 2014, he has released records on Natural Sciences (UK), Bank NYC (USA), Steel City Dance Discs (UK), Beat Concern (UK) and Nice Music (AUS) amongst others. Pounding rhythms, brooding ambience and mangled field recordings that channel the grit and grime of Newcastle’s steel-working lineage. Pure Novocastrian industrial electronics.
PURE MASS is a four-piece from Gadigal, Wangal, Dharug and Wiradjuri lands. Formed in 2017, they play a brand of heavy, loud, repetitive noise rock/doom that has seen them share stages with renowned heavy acts such as The Body and Kilat. They released their debut album "Fire Sale" in 2021 amid COVID lockdowns and no ability to tour. After a lineup change in 2025, they have a follow-up due for release in late 2026 - early 2027, with extensive touring plans to make up for lost time.
LIVESTOCK are a post-punk band from Bundjalung, writing songs about extraction, labour and survival. Rooted in perspective and place, their music explores the tensions between industry and the environment. Equity and ethics are central to their ethos. Funds generated from performances are returned to hosting venues to support future events and help keep ticket prices affordable. Their recordings and freely available through their website livestockband.com They are not available on streaming platforms.
