Radium Dolls
Summary
Radium Dolls are one of Australia’s most exciting rising rock bands, known for explosive live shows, razor-sharp lyricism, and a sound that balances grit, heart, and swagger in equal measure. Formed in Brisbane the four-piece have built a fiercely independent momentum, with their debut album "Legal Speed" (2024) earning national airplay, critical acclaim, and a Queensland Album of the Year nomination. Their sophomore album "Wound Up" debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart, marking a major breakthrough and driving another fully sold-out national tour. The band have achieved major streaming and editorial success with singles including “Scorching Heat”, “Golden Boy", "Moving" and "Daddy", while their breakout track “Tractor Parts” has recently surpassed one million streams. The band has even caught the attention of music tastemaker Derrick Gee who named Radium Dolls his “favourite band of the moment”. With their debut American tour ahead and SXSW appearances, Radium Dolls are poised to introduce North America to the next era of Australian rock.
