As well as our shoutout for artists from Africa, South America, and Central America, we'd like a couple more recommendations from Oceania! We've got one from New Zealand already, but we'd love to include some bands or singers from other countries in Oceania, i.e. Australia, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuata, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Palau, or Tuvalu.
Thanks in advance!

The Red Paintings - Australian band, lead by a chap called Trash McSweeney - you will struggle to find much of their stuff online as they have removed it as an eff you to the music industry - they have vowed to only sell physical formats now.
Very difficult to draw comparisons for them as a band, but 100% if you get a chance to see them they will not disappoint.
Think indie-rock doused with some child-like lullabies with some punk infused guitar riffs served up with a violin, cello, bass and drums all set to a backdrop of local artists painting on blank canvasses from the first note of the show. They have costumes, concept art and human canvasses on stage and more visuals and sound than you can shake a stick at.
Definitely one to try and catch live - and you will ask yourselves how are these guys not massive.
Awesome, thanks very much. I'll have a dig through the internet and see if I can find anything that's survived the great removal.
Had a super quick look on YT - this is quite representative of them >> red paintings auf dem Sommertreffen des MC Kuhle Wampe (youtube.com)
Also from 4m13secs here >> small vid with an interview too about the band themselves

no problemo!- very scant on material online - hopefully you got a taster as to what they are about / like / akin to! - definitely one that missed the break!
Karnivool are an awesome band from Australia. I've seen them at the O2 in Birmingham and Dowload a few times, but I don't know many people that have heard of them!
Their wiki says they're inspired by Deftones (what do you think Cass?) and Tool, and I recommend checking out these two songs😊
Themata - first song I heard
Deadman - my favourite song of theirs
Thanks Jason, I've been listening to them all morning thanks to this recommendation - very cool.
