Formed in 2013, the Brisbane five piece bring a distinct and refined approach to their particular brand of Progressive/Experimental Rock.
The last decade has seen them release two EP’s and an album alongside countless performances with International and local luminaries in The Contortionist, Cog, Haken, Katatonia, Rosetta, Leprous, Closure in Moscow, June of 44, Caligula’s Horse, Delta Sleep and more.
Kodiak Empire have carved their name in the progressive rock/experimental cannon through their unique approach to the genre. Through a distinctly Australian lens the quintet explores irregular structure and long form groove juxtaposed against melancholic vocals and minimalist soundscapes. Artwork: @mark_facey_
Thank you all so much for supporting us through an incredible year! In 2025 we released our debut EP, an accompanying music video and we played our first headline show. We’ve also been lucky enough to have played more shows this year than ever, each one being more fun than the last. You’ll be seeing more of us in 2026…
Happy new year from Lach, Mixie, and Sam!
