The Tullamarines reflect on their origins, creative process, and the momentum behind their growing international presence.

In this conversation, the Adelaide based band speaks about their experience touring through SXSW, describing what it means to travel the world and connect with new audiences through their music. They share how moments on stage, like hearing people sing along in another country, reinforce their commitment to keep moving forward.

The band also discusses their collaborative approach to songwriting, where ideas are developed collectively, passing demos, melodies, and lyrics between members until something clicks. This fluid process allows them to stay open and avoid repeating past formulas, focusing instead on what feels right in the moment.

They reflect on the realities of building a music career, balancing full time jobs with the demands of being in a band, and the importance of friendship in sustaining their journey. For them, making music is as much about connection as it is about creation, both within the band and with their audience.

The conversation moves through their current phase as they work toward their debut album, embracing uncertainty while continuing to experiment with new ideas. They also speak about their influences across Australia, the US, and the UK, highlighting how today’s indie scene feels increasingly global.

Looking ahead, they share plans for upcoming tours and releases, while staying grounded in the simple goal of playing music and reaching more people.
