LXRP

LXRP is a post-punk/dance-punk trio from Naarm, Australia. It consists of Amy Rogers (Restraint,
Bigger Boot) on bass guitar, Heather Jardany (Heather Vomiting God) on electric guitar and drum
programming, and Mish Furner on vocals. The band formed in mid 2024 and have since played over
thirty shows across Naarm, with word-of-mouth quickly spreading about their blend of sounds, from local
post-punk acts like Orion and Low Life to the dancier, pop-focused moments of bands like New Order
and The Cure.
Their first single, '''Artifacting'''', was released in May 2025 and quickly became a crowd favourite at gigs
for its distinctive cowbell-led drum beat, introducing LXRP''''s sound: Heather''''s infectious guitar licks atop
Amy''''s galloping basslines, and Mish''''s commanding vocal hooks.
Their second single, '''Maintenance'''', was released in February 2026. Their third single is released on
May 15, 2026, ahead of their debut self-titled album.
LXRP''''s debut, self-titled album was recorded DIY in a single day in a tiny home studio. It encompasses
songs written at the band's inception (Bricks, Artifacting) and newer tracks that show an evolution of
their sound (Pinata, Decouple). As such, it''''s an album that effortlessly bounces between heavy postpunk bursts and lighter, colder moments, showcasing the trio''''s wide-ranging influences.
The band''''s central ethos of writing catchy, pop-infused music runs throughout, however, with tracks like
Artifacting and Sapper built around commanding vocal hooks and danceable drum machine beats.
Vocalist Mish Furner''''s lyrics vividly combine personal observances with oblique literary intertextuality,
painting pictures of an argument between lovers, a decaying church in a regional town, or a person in
dire need of a reality check. Heather Jardany''''s guitar textures range from lazy, reverb-soaked chords to
chunky, hardcore-laden riffs, tinged with the classic chorus-pedal sound of Australian post-punk. Amy
Rogers'''' bass prowess brings everything together, springing deftly between distorted gallops and jazzinfused slaps.
