Vlads – Rolla Coasta

New Single • World Domination (2026). Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Hailing from South East Queensland, Australia, VLADS are an indie rock quartet bringing together members from Redland Bay, Brisbane, and Currumbin. Formed when vocalist Kai Vladusic recruited drummer Callum Watson during the recording session for their debut single “Ordinary,” the band soon expanded with bassist Edin Duke and guitarist Matthew Norrish. After touring Australia alongside The Terrys and Beddy Rays, “Rolla Coasta” arrives as a new single from their debut album, World Domination (2026), capturing the carefree spirit and infectious optimism that have made them one of Australia’s fastest-rising indie acts.

“Rolla Coasta” races forward on bright guitars, driving rhythms, and irresistibly catchy melodies, delivering the euphoric rush of late-night road trips, festivals, and friendships that seem destined to last forever. Drawing inspiration from surf rock, indie pop, and modern Australian guitar music, the band channel youthful freedom into a song that feels effortlessly uplifting.

The track balances polished hooks with an energetic live-band spirit, reflecting the chemistry that has fuelled VLADS since their earliest performances. Rather than overcomplicating their sound, the quartet focus on memorable songwriting, feel-good energy, and a sense of fun that makes “Rolla Coasta” impossible not to sing along with.

A new generation of Australian guitar bands is embracing melody, positivity, and community, creating music that captures the excitement of growing up, hitting the road, and living fully in the moment. Rather than relying on nostalgia alone, these artists are writing modern anthems that reflect the adventurous spirit of contemporary youth culture.

“Rolla Coasta” demonstrates why VLADS are rapidly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting emerging bands. By combining infectious indie-rock hooks with boundless energy and an unmistakable Queensland identity, the quartet continue to prove that feel-good guitar music remains one of the country’s greatest musical strengths.
