ELODIE ADAMS Insubordinate EP (2014)

Melbourne's alternative rock underground has always punched above its weight, and Elodie Adams was one of its sharper edges.

Released in 2014, Insubordinate is a compact, direct shot of Australian alternative rock with enough grit to keep it interesting. Adams has a voice that doesn't ask permission, and the EP earns its title. This is the kind of release that circulated through the Melbourne scene on word of mouth alone, the sort of thing you'd find at a merch table after a sweaty support slot and not see on any streaming algorithm for years. A genuine document of the local alternative scene doing what it does when no one's watching.

CD EP, 2014 Australian release.
