Jack Phemister makes Art Rock music for the modern misanthrope.
From the Folk-Rock beginnings of his debut album emerges a subversive new era, combining influences of Art Punk, Industrial Rock, and Poetry. Exploring the ugly depths of the human condition, and the artist’s place in it, Phemister trudges through themes of displacement, dejection, and anxiety, implementing unwarranted magniloquence and wonky guitar playing. The live show is a high-energy tirade of reeling rhythm section playing and effects pedals, fully committed to the music, and tiptoeing on the edges of virtuosic and theatrical.
Originally from Yass, NSW, and currently residing in Melbourne, Phemister has performances coming up in Melbourne, Canberra & Los Angeles before the year is out, and his sophomore album is due for release in Summer 2024.

One day soon he’ll be discovered and become an overnight sensation.
