Lint (AU) is a three-piece outfit hailing from New South Wales, Australia, occupying a specific niche where the aggression of punk meets the tectonic weight of sludge metal and the hazy explorations of psychedelia. Their sound identity is defined by a heavy reliance on low-end frequencies, fuzzed-out bass lines, and a drumming style that favors impact over speed.
Emerging in the early 2010s, they represent a darker, more abrasive side of the Australian rock landscape, moving away from the sun-drenched garage rock of their peers toward something more subterranean. Critically, they are noted for their ability to maintain a sense of 'grunge' melody while burying it under layers of noise and grit. Their influence web connects the early 90s Seattle sound with the more experimental, feedback-heavy approach of modern noise rock. Within the collector and crate-digger community, they are often grouped with 'Australian sludge' and 'heavy psych' acts, valued for their raw production and uncompromising sonic density.
