90day: The Australian Indie Rock Phenomenon
90day is an Australian indie rock band known for their energetic live shows and melodic, guitar-driven sound. Hailing from Sydney, the group achieved significant commercial success with their debut album, which charted in the top 20 on the ARIA Albums Chart and spawned several certified gold singles.
Early career
The band formed in Sydney in 2010, initially playing local pubs and university bars. Their self-released EP, "Static Lines," in 2012 caught the attention of independent label Dew Process, which signed them the following year.
Breakthrough
90day's breakthrough arrived in 2015 with their debut album, "The Great Divide." The lead single, "Fault Lines," became a staple on Australian alternative radio, reaching number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart and eventually earning a gold certification for sales exceeding 35,000 copies.
Key tracks
Fault Lines — This breakthrough single defined their early sound and secured their first major radio play.
Echo Chamber — A track from their second album that showcased a denser, more atmospheric production style.
The Current — Known for its driving rhythm, this song became a fan favorite and a setlist staple during their national tours.
Half Light — This slower, more introspective track demonstrated the band's range beyond upbeat indie rock anthems.
The success of "The Great Divide" led to extensive touring, including support slots for international acts. Their 2018 follow-up, "Mirror Work," debuted at number 12 on the ARIA chart and featured a collaboration with fellow Australian artist Meg Mac on the track "Holding Pattern."
While maintaining their core indie rock identity, 90day has experimented with synth textures on later releases. They continue to be a consistent presence on the Australian festival circuit, performing regularly at events like Groovin the Moo and Splendour in the Grass.
