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.
