Hailing from Menai, Australia, this talented vocalist and music producer has crafted a unique sound that seamlessly blends trap, trip-hop, and post-punk influences, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists, including the ethereal electropop of Grimes and the raw energy of punk rock icons like Bikini Kill and Fugazi, Clare has embarked on a musical journey of self-discovery and experimentation.
Her latest offering, “Rebel Hearts,” is a testament to her growth as an artist and her commitment to pushing boundaries within the alternative pop scene. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artists’ music, and know more about the artist’s work by scrolling down the page.
What sets Clare apart from her contemporaries is her DIY approach to music production. Recording, mixing, and mastering the track herself in her modest home studio in Menai, Sydney, she has intentionally preserved the imperfections in her work, resulting in a raw and unpolished sound that perfectly complements the rebellious spirit of her music. This approach harks back to the early days of punk and grunge, where authenticity and passion trumped polished production.
“Clare Easdown’s ‘Rebel Hearts’ is a sonic rebellion that captures the essence of alt rock pop while infusing it with a fresh, uncompromising energy. Her ability to blend genres seamlessly and her fearless approach to production make her a true force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene.” – PopHits.Co Curation Team
The lyrical content of “Rebel Hearts” is equally compelling, embodying Clare’s ethos of embracing individuality and challenging societal norms. Through her music, she invites listeners to join her on a journey of self-expression and empowerment, encouraging them to celebrate their uniqueness and stand proud as misfits in a world that often demands conformity. This message resonates strongly with fans of emo pop rock and pop-punk, genres known for their emotional honesty and rebellious spirit.
Clare’s musical style sits comfortably alongside contemporary artists who are reinventing the alt rock pop genre, such as Olivia Rodrigo and Yungblud. However, incorporating post-punk and hardcore punk elements gives her sound a distinctive edge that sets her apart from her peers. As she continues to evolve as an artist, it’s clear that Clare Easdown is carving out a unique niche for herself in the ever-changing landscape of alternative music.
