ZZADE is a 20 year old Industrial Pop artist from Meanjin, Brisbane. Some may know ZZADE as the former lead singer and bassist of alternative punk band The Blockades. With 10,000 plays on their single “Ease”, Triple J airplay and a notorious reputation of playing high energy politically driven shows, including the School Climate Strike march of 5000+ people, The Blockades were the most popular underage rock band when active. ZZADE took a break from the band in 2020 to focus on experimenting and creating a new sound.
ZZADE is now more ready than ever to introduce her matured and hard hitting sound to a wider audience. With energetic live shows and a live band, ZZADE’s latest shows are not to be missed.
ZZADE’s first single ‘Hollywood Ending defies the genre of pop, combining signature fuzzy bass lines with high tempo industrial drum sounds and dynamic synths. Her distinct, compelling vocal style and cut throat lyricism brings this anti-scumbag anthem to life. With lines like “I hope you get your Hollywood ending” and “I never trust a man with a secret like yours”, the song is guaranteed to resonate with those who draw from similar experiences of deceit. With influences ranging all the way from pop queen Charlie XCX to 90s industrial acts like Nine Inch Nails, Hollywood Ending is the perfect potion of 90s angst and pop inspired melodies. Empowered and hopeful, listeners are left in a world where everyone gets their deserved Hollywood Ending.

Where are you currently based?
I am based in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia.
How did you first start playing music?
I have been pretty musical all my life. My early home videos are of me banging on pots and pans and singing to hi-five. I first started writing songs when I was about ten and then started learning to play bass when I was eleven for the primary school band. My Dad played bass and I wanted to be just like him. I used to jam with my Dad and started writing songs and riffs on bass shortly after I started learning to play.
What’s been happening recently?
A lot! I have been busy planning and organising for this release, shooting a music video and making sure everything’s up to my perfectionist standard. I have also been recording new music and am in the process of finishing my next single as we speak. I’m always plotting and scheming something.
Your debut single ‘Hollywood Ending’ will be released on August 19, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track?
I first had all the lyrics written for this song but no melodies or riffs yet in mind. I remember sitting down and purposefully trying to tell myself to be open minded to whatever ideas may come because usually I am quite judgemental of them. I didn’t have a specific sound in mind writing this song other than the “ZZADE” electronic pop but still heavy sound I had been trying to curate. I think production and the main bass riff really transformed the song into something I really liked.
How did Hollywood Ending come about and what is the meaning?
Hollywood Ending came to life from two things – a therapy session and a bad dream. Out of feelings of “life is unfair” and “life sucks” bla bla, I remember telling my therapist that I wished life could be like a Hollywood movie – where the good guys always win in the end. I remember saying the words “Hollywood Ending” and thinking to myself that it sounded like a great line for a song. That night I had a dream…more nightmare…about a boy I used to (unfortunately) be involved with. I woke up confused but inspired to pick up my bass and write a song about how I hoped he got his “Hollywood Ending”. The brain is a funny thing and although that dream was a shitty reminder of that person, I couldn’t be more proud to release this song.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
The original demo of Hollywood Ending was produced by Aaron Shanahan who I was working with at the time. He helped curate some of the poppy production elements and the base of the song. A couple of months later I took the song to my good friend and current producer Tom Megalos for the finishing production touches and mixing. It was then mastered by Matthew Gray.
How did you approach the recording process?
I walked into the studio with the song written and a few notes on some of the ideas I had for production. The whole song came very naturally and after about three hours, Aaron and I had drums, synths, bass and vox down. That original vocal take is the same take you hear now in the song. Tom and I tried to re-record another take but I couldn’t top my first one. My overall approach to recording the song was to once again keep an open mind and try new things. I tried not to limit myself by thinking things like “it’s too poppy” or “it’s not ____enough”.
Please tell us about your early days in alternative punk band The Blockades and how it developed your songwriting and stage energy from such a young age:
I had played in The Blockades from ages 14-18. In that time I probably played over 100 local gigs, a few sold out shows, and the climate strike rally of 5000 people. I think playing so many shows so young really helped me develop a strong onstage persona. I learnt early on to be able to feed off my own energy. Whether the crowd be 5 people or 50, I would be able jump around as if it was Madison Square Garden. I also learnt to observe the crowd and how different songwriting styles would be able inspire different crows behaviour. I now always keep that in mind when writing, I ask myself “Will this be fun to play live?” or “Can this be sung along to?”
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I feel extremely late to the party but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been on repeat this week because they just released two new singles that I love. I’ve also been vibing with locals Full Flower Moon Band and a couple of their new singles.
What do you like to do away from music?
I currently work in childcare and babysit so when I’m not making music I’m hanging out with toddlers. My class I like to think is pretty musical because of me. I write songs for them and play my guitar while they each shake little egg shakers I made for them. I also like to ride dirt bikes on the weekend with my family and am working on my jumps. Other than that, I really don’t do much of anything else but music.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2022 going into 2023?
I have a few more gigs planned already, including supporting SOAP this Saturday at Black Bear Lodge. I’m also already in the process of recording and planning another single release.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Fav food is definitely nachos or anything from Netherworld. I have a lot of food allergies so Netherworld is always a safe bet for me. Fave place to hang out would be Black Bear Lodge or the studio.

What’s been happening recently?
It’s exciting to think we’ve actually got an answer for that question now! After years of, essentially, a hiatus through COVID and everything in between, we’ve been busy trying to regain our momentum touring and writing. We’ve played a few headliners and small festivals around the East Coast this year and have dropped our first music of the year with “Hard Times” to boot, so we’re definitely well on our way to reaching our former glory.
You’ve just released your killer new track ‘Hard Times’ what influenced the sound and songwriting?
This track was initially written between myself and Pat Byrne aka Beso Palma in his studio in Coogee. We were just jamming to be honest since we admired each other and wanted to see what we could create. We spent about an hour listening to 90’s Michael Jackson before actually doing anything so that definitely worked its way into the sound. Once I brought it to the band, we were able to imbue it with our usual cacophony of influences.
How did Hard Times come about?
Hard Times was born out of that jam with Pat. We just laid down a million layers of percussion and tried to make a danceable groove to just sit in. Lyrically, I love to delineate a funky, upbeat instrumental with a little darkness so, I did just that in the studio on the day and they flowed thick and fast.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who with?
Once we’d rehearsed the tune as a band and made some tweaks between us to make it more unique to our sound, we headed into the studio with Pat to put down the instruments. The song was produced primarily by the band with a few naughty home sessions to build the soundscape after the main elements were put down. It was subsequently mixed by our long time collaborator and daddy, Daniel Willington.
How did you approach the recording process?
We took the elements of what we liked from the original session i.e. the percussion and guitars and built on that structure with our live instruments. We started with Bass and Drums, then horns on our studio day and vocals, along with some other auxiliary synths were done at my place using the tracks we came home with.
What or who influenced the concept for the music video?
We’ve got a bit of a reputation for funny videos, bordering on completely ridiculous so, the general consensus was to match the darker tone of this track with something a little moodier to show a different side of the band. Jesse had been doing dance lessons so was in touch with a great choreographer in Jess Innes so he had the idea to just get in a room with our instruments and some sick backing dancers to do something nice and professional for once.
Where and when did you film and who did you work with?
It was filmed earlier in the year at the Egg studios. The video was directed by Nick Allen, shot by Matty Ower and choreographed by Jess Innes. We also were lucky enough to get our hands on some custom outfits designed by my good friend Romon Yang as well as some makeup looks by Georgia Vierod. All of the crew were friends so we felt very lucky to be so close to such talented, hard working creatives.
What did you most enjoy about creating the film clip for Hard Times?
For me, personally, it was surprisingly pleasant to put down the guitar and try not to make a fool out of myself in front of the camera without my usual on stage armour. Considering I’m a notoriously awkward and uncoordinated person, I did much better than I thought I would.
Any upcoming shows/tours – When/where?
As always, we’ve got shows aplenty coming up through the year. We’ll be hitting a few festivals like Relish Festival, Jungle Love and Young Henrys Fringe Festival which we’re so excited for and will most definitely be hitting a city near you to bust out a face melting headliner.
Please tell us about any new music that’s on the horizon?
As we SPEAK we’re whipping up a jam the likes of which have never been seen. We’re aiming to release in the coming months with fame and fortune following shortly after.
