**Introducing Relays: The Raw and Unapologetic Voice of Aussie Bogan Punk**
Bendigo, Australia - May 8, 2024 - Relays, the fiery three-piece punk band straight out of Dja Dja Wurrung country, is here to shake up the Australian music scene. Drawing inspiration from punk legends like Dead Kennedys, Wipers, and Cosmic Psychos, Relays infuse their own raw attitude into every chord.
Comprised of producer Shann Lions, drummer Mik Weird, and the sensational 23-year-old autistic wunderkind, Stanley Knife, on vocals and bass, Relays packs a punch that demands attention.
In just five months, Relays has left an indelible mark on the music landscape. With over 20,000 combined plays on Spotify from their three digital singles released in 2024 alone, the band's momentum is unstoppable. Their blistering live performances in Melbourne, Beechworth, and hometown Bendigo have only fueled their rise.
Recently, Relays completed their highly anticipated debut album at Head Gap Studio Preston, capturing the raw essence of life in regional Australia. Produced by Shann Lions and written collectively by the band, the album is a gritty reflection of their unfiltered sound.
What sets Relays apart is their commitment to authenticity. Forgoing studio gimmicks, the band opted for a live recording approach, capturing their raw energy and chemistry on two-inch tape.
As they gear up for the release of their debut album in the last quarter of 2024, Relays shows no signs of slowing down. To celebrate the release of their fifth single, "Kids Fattening Centre," on May 30th, the band is embarking on a Victorian Tour alongside some of their favorite up-and-coming acts.

Relays Biography
Relays are a new three-piece Aussie bogan punk band hailing from Dja Dja Wurrung country, better known as Bendigo. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Wipers, Dead Kennedys and Cosmic Psychos. Relays bring their own raw unapologetic attitude to the Australian music scene.
The trio comprises producer Shann Lions (Four Lions, Mystic Park, Ruteger) on guitar and vocals, Mik Weird on drums and vocals, and the sensational 23-year-old autistic wunderkind, Stanley Knife, on vocals and bass. Together, they form a sound that demands attention.
Despite their humble beginnings, Relays have made a significant impact as a band in their five months. With three digital singles released in 2024 alone, they’ve amassed over 20,000 combined plays on Spotify, all without any support other than the word of mouth generated by their blistering live performances in Melbourne, Beechworth, and their hometown of Bendigo.
Recently, Relays completed their highly anticipated debut album at Head Gap Studio Preston, on Wurundjeri Country. Produced by Shann Lions and written collectively by the band, the album is a raw and unfiltered snapshot of life in regional Australia.
What sets Relays apart is their commitment to authenticity. Eschewing studio trickery, the band opted for a live recording approach, capturing their raw energy and chemistry on two-inch tape.
As they gear up for the release of their debut album in the last quarter of 2024, Relays shows no signs of slowing down.
