GRXCE

At the end of 2021, a drummer and a bassist answered an ad in a Facebook group and ended up in a Zoom call with a singer and a guitarist. What sounds like the start of a bad joke is actually the origin story of Eora four-piece GRXCE. Since coining the tagline “sad music you can dance to,” bandmates Jamila Grace (vocals & rhythm guitar), Jonathan Amirzaian (lead guitar), Emily Elvish (bass), & Alex Berger (drums) have entered the Australian music scene in a glorious blaze, landing support from triple j, Spotify, Apple Music, Rolling Stone, The Music, MTV, and more. GRXCE take indie-rock to new heights, perfectly curating a blend of toe-tapping melodies alongside gut-wrenching lyricism that tackles all of the highs and lows of growing up, growing apart, and growing into yourself. Their debut single, ‘Pretty Boy’, was met with bold but accurate claims that GRXCE is “grunge pop at its very best” (Backseat Mafia).

With their follow-up tracks ‘Family Tradition’ and ‘Wasted on You’ ranking as the 5th and 4th most playlisted tracks in their release week respectively, it is clear why GRXCE are on an uphill momentum that no-one can slow down. Following on from a sold-out debut headline show at Factory Theatre, GRXCE started 2023 by conquering an 18-date debut tour across NSW which featured big name support slots with The Terrys, Lola Scott, CLEWS, & Surf Trash just to name a few. Despite this huge run of shows, GRXCE took no time to rest, charging forward to play alongside The Rions, Sly Withers, Adam Newling, Bec Stevens, Kitschen Boy & Hallie in the months following, as well as joining forces with Fellr & Philter for an exclusive backyard acoustic show and Heaps Normal for a band on band interview series. With comparisons to contemporary heavy hitters such as Tommy Lefroy, The Buoys and Holly Humberstone, GRXCE are set for a bright future ahead. GRXCE is not only one of the most exciting Australian bands to launch onto the local scene but also a visionary working to engage audiences through multiple creative mediums and engaging narratives.
