About the Artist

Originating from Sydney, Australia, DMA'S burst onto the global music scene with a sound that conjures the golden era of 90s Britpop while firmly planting their feet in the contemporary indie landscape. The trio – Tommy O'Dell (vocals), Matt Mason (guitar), and Johnny Took (guitar) – have cultivated a devoted following through their infectious melodies, soaring choruses, and O'Dell's distinctive, often melancholic, vocal delivery. Their self-titled third album, released in 2023, cemented their status as one of the most exciting live bands around, showcasing a maturity and depth that resonated with fans and critics alike. Tracks like 'Olympia', 'Dear Prudence', and the fan-favourite 'Lay Down' are staples of their electrifying live sets, each one a testament to their songwriting prowess and their ability to craft songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. Their music is a potent cocktail of swirling guitars, driving rhythms, and an undeniable sense of anthemic grandeur, making them a must-see act for any discerning music lover.
