With the rollout well underway for their next album, Noon Shift are back with their first show of 2025!
Noon Shift are a band emerging from the beating heart of Sydney's underground music scene, offering a sound deeply rooted in the raw energy of 90's alternative rock. Self-described as crafting music "for the restless heart," the band pays homage to their influences while authentically shaping a unique sonic experience. With their 2018 debut EP "Fuse" and the follow-up "Worth Its Cost in Time" in 2021, Noon Shift carved a niche in alternative rock. The pinnacle came in 2022 with their debut album, "Steering Wheels on Summer's Days", showcasing a critical point in the band's evolution. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Foo Fighters, Gang of Youths and Rise Against, Noon Shift infuses authenticity into every composition, resulting in dynamic live performances across multiple sold-out shows. As an independent force, they've garnered over 440,000 streams, reflecting a global resonance. Proudly recording most of their music at home, Noon Shift's DIY ethos mirrors their commitment to authenticity. With a successful debut album, the band eagerly anticipates the upcoming release of their second album.
Support from Overbreak and Roomates.
