Ethereal visuals, ambient soundscapes and shoegaze undercurrents form the backdrop to the tunes of PRETTY BLEAK, whose compositional elements find their genesis in pop and emo. Drawing inspiration from the punk energy of Nirvana and dark pop of The Cure, PRETTY BLEAK showcase their take on 21st century pop. Known for building a world that reaches beyond the stage, PRETTY BLEAK cultivate a space where fans feel seen - from one off, show specific merch drops and a wholesome Discord community, to scrawling fans names on their guitars.

PRETTY BLEAK's debut EP in 2024 saw support from Spotify and Apple Music, with a sold out launch in Melbourne and lead single "she'll come around" gaining traction on TikTok. 2025 has seen continued growth, amassing over a million views on TikTok, substantial listener growth in the USA, a Melbourne headline sold out in the three days, and a support slot for Short Stack at the Forum Theatre. With a focus on their live show, the band has also played at Great Escape Festival (TAS), and supported Bugs, Teenage Joans, and Towns.

PRETTY BLEAK are ready to take the world by storm with their wave of melancholic, stadium-ready guitars, and sparkling, emotion-driven indie rock.
