Swagger, alt-pop, power and rock, two guitars, a beast behind the kit, and a mighty presence at the mic. Dallas Frasca is all of those things, and more. And they’re on a highway right to the top.
The award-winning Aussie rock‘n’roll outfit hit the Top 30 ARIA Charts in the first week of release and is a stand-out of its class, with its arsenal of heavier-than-the-earth songs, led by its namesake front woman, riff-maven rocker, with a knack for channelling Janis Joplin. Dallas, raised in the small Victorian town of Wangaratta (the home of Nick Cave), leads from the front with her enigmatic guitarist Jeff Curran. Their worlds collided in 2006 with a chance meeting in a Melbourne dive bar. An early incarnation of the group produced a huge sound as an alt-duo, with an unusual mix of dobros, stomp boxes and home-made instruments. Now a trio, with recent-arrival Josh Eales on drums, the act has steadily built a global following, and made friends in high places.
It’s all built on a foundation of solid rock, and a dedication to the road. From the start, Dallas Frasca has had a grass-roots approach to heavy touring. They’ve electrified crowds across more than 700 shows, including upwards of 150 festival slots. They’ve rocked the iconic Sydney Opera House and worked the audiences at major international festivals from the Big Day Out, Falls Fest and Pyramid Rock Down Under, to International Earth Day (Canada) and Les Nuits de La Guitare de Patrimonio (France). Along the way, they’ve supported Patti Smith, Aerosmith, Van Halen and Earth Wind & Fire, there’s been collaborations with the likes of Whitfield Crane, (Ugly Kid Joe), Sonny Mayo (Sevendust) and in 2010, Dallas fronted the legendary Aussie rock band Midnight Oil (with Violent Femmes’ Brian Ritchie on bass) in support of Amnesty International.
The best is yet to come.
In Feb 2015, Dallas Frasca signed a multi-album deal with Sydney-based label, Social Family Records. The first release through that arrangement is “Love Army,” Dallas Frasca's third full-length album.

My true love came, with the heart of a boy,
I wrapped it in silk, to fill it with joy.
He gave it to me so carefully,
I opened the door when it yearned to be free.
It danced in my hands, blew wind through my hair,
Put me down on my knees and air in my lungs,
When the storm starts to blow, you’ll find who really cares.
On a ship in the night, it dropped over board,
Got lost out at sea, as I washed up on shore,
I searched all around, I looked down at my hands,
And all that remained was blood staining the cracks.
It blocked up my nose & it pissed on my feet,
Showed me no mercy when I tapped my defeat,
It danced in my hands, blew wind through my hair,
Put me down on my knees and air in my lungs,
When the storm starts to blow, you’ll find who really cares.
Blind on my path I was soon to discover,
The smell of a rose from underneath the covers,
I took off my clothes, he handed it back,
It was always there, I just got lost on my track.
It danced in my hands, blew wind through my hair,
Put me down on my knees and air in my lungs,
When the storm starts to blow, you’ll find who really cares.
When the storm starts to blow, you’ll find who really cares.

What can I say about this album? It really captures the feelings of 2020-pandemic and is a musical time capsule of that era. A must have for all music fans and survivors of the pandy. This is #1 or #2 best album of 2021. T-IDLES-Crawler. adamdoom

This album is just perfect in a minimalistic sense. There's nothing you could take away from it without making it worse and nothing to add that would make it better. 10/10 avalun

Sleepmakeswaves is one of the best bands out there that blend ethereal tracks with other tracks with beautiful interlaced guitar playing, as if both players are feeding off of the energy of the other, creating a massive and powerful energy that cannot be stopped! This is one fantastic record, and is easily one you can put the whole album on and love every single song. Charlie Mayer
