Creature Fear

Quirky, nostalgic, and undeniably compelling, Naarm outfit Creature Fear offer up a dynamic blend of 60s retro pop and garage rock that playfully swings between lighthearted and introspective.

After a string of independently released singles had them noticed by former Untitled Group label Daily Nightly, the band released their 2021 debut EP 17 Minutes of Creature Fear - a vibrant and varied showcase of the band’s signature tongue-in-cheek, yet always evocative, sound. The collection paved the way for the band’s electrifying festival appearances at Beyond The Valley, Grapevine, and New Years On The Hill, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Ball Park Music, Boo Seeka, Killing Heidi, The Delta Riggs, Tired Lion, and Kingswood. Their frenetic, theatrical live show and infectious spirit has earned the band an ever-growing and loyal following, leading to multiple sold-out headline shows across Melbourne and a national tour.

After a brief hiatus, Cameron Graham (songwriter/vocals), Larni Pearce (drums) and Jason Mercieca (lead guitar), joined by two stupendous new members - Louise Gaul on vocals and Liam Brennan on bass - burst back onto the scene with daring retro pop banger “Adulthood” in late 2023. With more fresh material at the ready and a revitalised sense of enthusiasm coursing through their lineup, Creature Fear is poised for an exciting year ahead.
