About this release

Eden And The Gardeners are an alt punk rock band from Newcastle Awabakal Land, Australia. They formed in mid-2025 between Eden (Vocals) and James (Guitar). James, spent 3 months composing 15 demo songs for Eden to experiment with and by the end of the year, the two had self produced their debut double single. "DEADBEAT_tease" is a double-sided exploration of power dynamics, showcasing the band's ability to swing between righteous anger and sultry tension. "DEADBEAT" is a blistering anthem that takes aim at gaslighting and toxic deflection. Whereas, "tease" slows the adrenaline down, trading aggression for seduction. With the encouragement of early adopters who insisted they “needed to hear these songs live!” Eden and James recruited long time friend Trent to cover drum duties, and in early 2026 the trio quickly began working on their follow up double single. “Easy Target” serves as a sonic survival guide for the mid-2020s, tackling the people and the algorithms that try to exploit us. "Red Flag" is the ultimate, explosive anthem for anyone who has ever needed to scream their truth and walk away. Followed up by a tongue-in-cheek, hyper-relatable dive into the deep end of digital dissociation. "Fan Girl" explores the weird, comforting embrace of internet culture. To round out the rhythm section, they asked another long time friend Lloyd to hold down the low end, and the now quadruple began working on their forthcoming double single to be released late November 2026. EATG live to create a place where music is the sonic emotional bedrock that supports lyrics that speak to the most vulnerable moments of the human condition - mortality, grief, betrayal - as well as the absurdity of modern life and its pitfalls - social media addiction, para-social relationships, displaced aggression. Edens’ fiercely positive energy promotes a safe space to explore genuine meaningful connections between herself and the fans, giving a voice to the voiceless, whilst the Gardeners orchestrate a beat for them to dance to. Their debut show saw them headline King Street Warehouse, and left punters screaming “Encore! Encore!! Encore!!!”, don’t believe us? Check out the video on their YouTube channel. EATG continues to push forward and has no plans to stop anytime soon! With having begun pre-production on their debut album and plans to tour the east coast of Australia, 2027 is raring to be BIG for Eden And The Gardeners. Song Info: A tongue-in-cheek, hyper-relatable dive into the deep end of digital dissociation. "Fan Girl" explores the weird, comforting embrace of internet culture. From SHEIN sweaters and watermelon vapes to OnlyFans and meme compilations, it’s a catchy tribute to the brain rot we all use to escape reality
