Sleepazoid is an Australian alternative rock band formed in Melbourne in 2024. The group consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Nette France, bassist Josef Pabis, drummer Luca Soprano, and guitarists George Inglis and Jim Duong.[2] Their debut extended play, Running With The Dogs, combined elements of post-punk and shoegaze.[3]

History

Sleepazoid was formed in 2024 with two members of post-punk band Sputnik Sweetheart, vocalist Nette France and bassist Josef Pabis.[1] After a successful first writing session, which produced their debut single "Rats", the band self-recorded and produced their first EP, Running With The Dogs, engineered by guitarist George Inglis in Prahran, Melbourne.[3][4] After the release on 6 March 2025, they supported Faye Webster on shows across Australia,[4] and played at Bigsound.[2]

Artistry

The band's sound has been described as being a blend of "grunge grit, shoegaze atmospherics, and post-punk urgency, with frontwoman Nette France’s vocals cutting through the chaos."[5]
