THIS SUNDAY!

Karma Police are a young four-piece band with a grunge-inspired, alt-rock, post-punk sound. Their debut
single, Getaway, has been played on Triple J’s Unearthed Radio, 4ZZZ’s Zed Digital, Triple FM Brisbane, ABC
Radio Gold Coast and ABC Radio Sunshine Coast – including two live in-studio performances.

In April 2025, Karma Police were awarded ‘Best Original Song’ at the Aura Youth Fest Battle of the Bands,
winning a recording session at Yama-Nui Recording Studio, where their first single was captured. They followed this up by taking out two further regional Battle of the Bands to cap off a big 2025.

Karma Police are Willem Brennan (vocals), Will McWha (guitar), Madison Grose (bass), and Isaac Green (drums).

Come see Karma Police at the Triffid Garden tomorrow!
