Long Bio

Goth Disco is the solo music project of an Australian songwriter and producer working across alternative rock, rooted in post-punk and new wave. The music is self-produced with a band-oriented feel, blending driving rhythms, melodic bass, layered guitars, and atmospheric synths into arrangements that move between dark introspection, confrontational energy, and occasional tongue-in-cheek moments.

The sound draws from the structures and textures of post-punk and new wave, reimagined through a modern, independent approach. While much of the material leans toward mood-driven, synth-leaning tracks, some releases branch into punk, indie, and guitar-forward territory, allowing different energies and attitudes to surface without breaking the project’s core identity.

Across releases, Goth Disco explores ideas shaped by instinct rather than strict genre boundaries, while maintaining a recognisable thread that ties the project together. Catchy vocal hooks sit on top of tight, memorable rhythm sections. Guitars provide melodic tension and momentum, while synths add atmosphere with a subtle sense of nostalgia. The production is clean but retains an analogue warmth that reinforces the band-like arrangement.

Throughout 2026, new music is being released regularly, written and shared in the order it’s made. Each track captures a moment in the project’s development, building a clear and cohesive identity across a wide but connected alternative palette.

Latest Release

Garbage

Garbage leans into a rougher, more confrontational take on Goth Disco’s post-punk foundation, drawing stronger influence from punk and guitar-driven alternative. The track is built around an aggressive kick-snare backbone and minimal synth textures, with jagged, slightly awkward jangly guitars escalating toward short, distorted choruses. Repetition and blunt phrasing drive the structure, creating tension and momentum without softening the delivery. Production remains clean and self-produced, favouring direct impact and attitude over introspection or polish.

Previous Release

Chemical Rush

Chemical Rush blends post-punk and new wave through a melodic bassline, steady beat, and repeated vocal hooks that loop across verses and choruses. Guitar motifs and tight rhythms drive momentum, while vintage synths and a spacious mix provide atmospheric texture. The vocal delivery leans hypnotic and restrained, fitting the track's cohesive structure. Production is clean with analogue warmth, balancing a band-oriented arrangement with a self-produced approach. The energy sits between dark and upbeat, holding tension without tipping into either extreme.
