Originally from Toowoomba,
Sixth League are a 4-piece grunge
punk band situated in Brisbane. I
personally really like this band as they
have a somewhat gritty, raw sound
featuring plenty of rocking guitars
and showing a soft side as well with
their emotional lyrics. A sound from
bands I’ve found myself more partial
to in recent years as opposed to
music that is overly produced on
a computer.
Listening to their EP Beyond Blue
is an interesting experience as it
intentionally leads you through
stages of depression but culminates
in a much more positive light. I’ve
found myself listening to the EP
twice in a row on some occasions
and the songs continue to pop up in
my head days later. Although it’s safe
to say that the majority of their songs
have found a home on my iPhone,
the tracks that stand out the most to
me are Sourdough, Vulnerable and
Gabbinbar.
Seeing the band perform live at a
local Toowoomba event supporting
the Toowoomba Depression
Network in January was suitably
fitting. I really liked the way the
band brought a sense of serious

musicianship but also some
seemingly reluctant showmanship. I
definitely recommend checking out
their work on their Bandcamp page
or seeing them live if you’re a fan
of rock, punk or metal. The band
are currently working on their next
release so it’s exciting to know that
it could potentially be out by the end
of the year.
