Band Bio

Fawkner Walking Society hail from Melbourne's inner north and their sound is a blend of indie guitar pop and alt-country, reminiscent of Australian 90s alternative pop bands like the Go-Betweens.

At times, employing melodic guitar lines woven with evocative lyrics, FWS also embrace the highs and lows of urban living with a bit of noise and humour, a sound to be documented on their second album due for release in 2024.

With their debut album in the can, FWS are looking to expand and explore new opportunities. Through a contemporary sensibility, FWS presents an authentic perspective in their own indie sound.

Review of Debut EP

‘…what’s happening here musically are warm tones, smooth harmonies and a nice, indie/folksy
pop vibe that’s inviting. “Fawkner Walking Society” offers a rolling rhythm – hip, tender and
pleasantly smooth.’
