Second Idol are known in the Sydney music scene for their intense, ear-shattering live performances and their fusion of alternative rock and post-punk influences.

Ruthless and unapologetic, the band’s subject matter transverses across subjects of empowerment, diversity, political cynicism and queerness. In February 2021, They released their debut single “White Noise” to local and critical acclaim, and are releasing the accompanying EP “Defence Mechanisms” on May 21st.

In support of Defence Mechanisms, Second Idol will embark on a launch tour around Australia with a hometown tour at The Chippo hotel.

“White Noise is everything the music industry at this point of time has been missing, and it is certain that Second Idol are taking the industry by storm. It’s a strong and powerful song that will get stuck in your head, leaving you in a state of rebellion.” -Temporary Dreamer (on White Noise)

“Charged bursts of captivating alt-rock-meets-punk-pop that sits inline with long-time influences from Sonic Youth and Savages, two acts whose everlasting imprint is still felt in alt-rock.” -Pilerats (on White Noise)

“Teeth bared, Second Idol standing up with some fire in the belly here.” -Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed
