Bio

Flying the flag high for Australian alt country, New Rules For Boats aren’t afraid of throwing some Perth pop into the mix as well. Brother and sister, Sean and Miranda Pollard are the vocal and lyrical heart of the band with a beautifully arranged harmonic interplay. With Ben Golby recently moving from bass to keys and banjo, combined with the melodic bass of recent addition Dan Grant and the enthusiastic dance driven beats of Joe Derwort, New Rules For Boats lay out music that gets stuck in your head and goes straight to your feet. With “Not Impressed” and “Skips On My Record” receiving lots of JJJ spins nationally and heaps of support from the country’s best community stations, New Rules For Boats are going from strength to strength.
