Sonic Ctrl

Sonic Ctrl rock the indie Sydney music scene in a diverse fashion. The musicians each write from their personal influences and once combined, produce what can only be described as eclectic indie rock. Their core sound emerges from punk, acoustic folk, heavy rock and pop rock. 

From this genre collection a fair question arises - what could that possibly sound like? The end product of this spicy 90's rock mix includes blending hard edged guitar drive with sweet melodies, a dash of acoustic groove finished off with thrashy overtones.  

Sonic Ctrl wants the world to know that rock and roll is ageless. Inclusivity, fun and love of music are all the ingredients that matter. Kelly Walshe (lead singer and guitarist, 34 years old) Chris Banick (bass guitarist, 57 years old) and Tim Walshe (drummer, 32 years old) especially love performing at one of Newtown’s finest indie music venues The Vanguard, and Lazy Bones Bar and Restaurant in Marrickville. 

Writing from the heart and mind, Kelly’s leading lyrical influence is Australian acoustic singer-songwriter Josh Pyke. Inspirations across the four band members range from Australian acoustic folk duo Angus and Julia Stone to American punk rock legends, Ramones. What Sonic Ctrl so elegantly spit out could be described as classic Blondie meets American grunge rockers Garbage.

Sonic Ctrl have come together with the common goal to produce and perform fun and meaningful music. Their tunes welcome, and can appeal to, any person of any era and any lover of rock and roll.
