I'm just a filthy American but that makes me so sad because I looove Australian artists. My favorite act lately has been Surprise Chef out of Melbourne.

Genesis Owusu is also making waves. Gordi and Angie McMahon are two of my favorite singersongwriters. I'm never surprised when I find a new band and learn they're Australian.

My company just opened up an office in Sydney and I like Australian culture so much, I thought about begging for a transfer. But I wouldn't want to pollute your shores with my kind.

    Lol, we need more of your kind to 'pollute' our shores. It might encourage more locals to appreciate what we have. You might warn them personally what you have to contend with in the US as we seem to copy so much of popular US culture here.

    Replying to myself to add some other artists I've listened to recently. I looked at a list of the top 2020s artists and had no idea some of them were even Australian

    DAINE!!! How did I forget Daine.

    Jungle Giants

    Donny Benet

    Courtney Barnett

    Hiatus Kaiyote

    Matt Corby

    Tkay Maidza

    The Avalanches

    I'm not a big Nick Cave or King Gizzard guy but I also just learned they're Australian, too.
