Meet Spacey Jane, The Indie Band Everyone’s Falling For

If you’ve been anywhere near an indie playlist lately, chances are you’ve heard Spacey Jane. The four-piece band are slowly but surely taking over, one emotional chorus and guitar line at a time. Their new album, If That Makes Sense (released May 2025), proves they’re not just another Aussie band making their name known, they’re the real deal.

From Garage Gigs to Global Buzz

Spacey Jane started out like a lot of great bands do, a few mates making noise in garages around Perth. Formed back in 2016 by Caleb Harper, Kieran Lama, Ashton Hardman-Le Cornu, and later Peppa Lane, they built their name the old-fashioned way: small shows, word of mouth, and songs that stuck with you.

Their early single “Feeding the Family” gained popularity locally, and by the time their debut album Sunlight dropped in 2020, the rest of Australia had caught on. “Booster Seat”, which is probably their best-known track, hit #2 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 and went seven-times platinum.

Then came Here Comes Everybody in 2022, a record that cemented them as one of the biggest bands in the country. They topped radio charts, sold out tours, and found themselves soundtracking late-night drives and quiet moments all over the world.

A Sound That Hits Different

There’s something special about Spacey Jane’s music, it’s emotional without being heavy, catchy without trying too hard. You can tell they actually feel what they’re singing. Their new album, If That Makes Sense, leans into that balance perfectly.

Produced by Mike Crossey (yep, the same guy who’s worked with The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys), the record sounds more polished but still keeps that rough-around-the-edges charm. Tracks like “All The Noise” and “The More That It Hurts” show a band that’s grown up since the songwriting feels deeper and more introspective, but the melodies still sparkle.

You can hear a bit of distance in the songs too, literally. The band recorded this one while living in different cities and even different countries, and that sense of space kind of bleeds into the record, giving it a bittersweet, dreamy quality.

The Real Ones Know: Their Live Shows Go Off

If you’ve ever seen Spacey Jane live, you already get it. Their shows are equal parts high energy and heart-on-sleeve honesty, the kind that makes you want to dance, then maybe cry a little in the same set. They’ve been selling out venues across Australia, New Zealand, and now overseas, connecting with fans who sing every word back at them.

There’s an easy warmth to the band that makes the crowd feel like part of the show. Whether it’s a sweaty festival set or an intimate club gig, Spacey Jane have a way of turning it into something that feels personal, like you’re all in it together.

Why Everyone’s Talking About Them

In a world full of overproduced, trend-chasing acts, Spacey Jane stand out because they’re real. The songs hit because they come from an honest place, uncertainty, love, loneliness, all wrapped up in shimmering indie rock.

From Sunlight to Here Comes Everybody and now If That Makes Sense, you can literally hear them figuring life out in real time and that’s what makes their music so addictive. It’s not just catchy, it’s comforting and relatable.

The Bottom Line

Spacey Jane are the kind of band that sneak up on you, you start with one song, and suddenly they’re the soundtrack to your week. Their rise has been steady, genuine, and well-deserved.

With their recent Austin City Limits Festival appearance, they’ve leveled up again without losing what made them special. Whether you’ve been here since Booster Seat or just stumbled across them on Spotify, now’s the time to lean in because these guys are only getting better!
