Conceived in 2017, America’s FLESHWATER has constantly cultivated a global cult-like following, ignited by the release of their 2020 debut EP, the aptly titled demo2020. Via their early single Linda Claire, which has gone on to generate over 3 million individual streams on Spotify alone, the scene was set for the 90s and early 2000s rock-inspired group to step beyond the underground. Since then, FLESHWATER have toured alongside No Pressure and Koyo, released their debut album, 2022’s We’re Not Here To Be Loved, and will head to Australia for the first time ever in 2024 as part of NEW BLOOM FEST.

Turning the spotlight firmly on the freshest up-and-coming artists in the scene, FLESHWATER will also be performing at NEW BLOOM FEST next March with American Rockers CITIZEN, L.A. emotive hard-hitters TOUCHE AMORE, post-hardcore heroes MOVEMENTS and pop punk powerhouse NO PRESSURE all lined up to rattle the collective roofs in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, alongside grunge shoegaze duo SOFTCULT both performing as part of their debut Australian appearances.
