Beddy Rays

Beddy Rays started making music together not long after they first met on the primary school oval back in the day, and the release of weekend anthem ‘Sobercoaster’ in 2020 really started shaking things up for these fun-loving larrikins. The cracker of a tune has now certified Gold sales, amassed over 10 million streams and echoed throughout backyards of Australia during triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2020.

The momentum hasn’t stopped for a minute with their single ‘Handful’ landing 83 in the Hottest 100 of 2023, cementing the four-piece as one of the country’s most loveable bands. Their highly anticipated and fully independent debut album was released in July 2022 and achieved #1 Vinyl and #2 Australian Album on the ARIA charts, as well as getting nominated for ‘Breakthrough Artist’ at the ARIA awards. The four-piece have gained multiple nominations at both the Queensland Music Awards and National Indigenous Music Awards, were announced as winners of the Levi’s Music Prize in 2021 and rocked their cover of Thelma Plum’s Better in Blak for triple j Like A Version.

Over the past few years Beddy Rays have taken their electrifying live show around the country playing festival sets at Valley Fiesta, Summer Sounds, Play on the Plains, Super Fun Day, ShoreShocked, The Push, Spin Off as well as Spilt Milk and Falls Festival.

These days it’s almost impossible not to recognise a Beddy Rays track, as their music has become a carefully curated recipe involving all the right ingredients: heartfelt lyrics, huge hooks, mosh-worthy riffs and a lingering sense of comradery and good vibes that underpins everything they create.
