Wildfire Manwurrk (2am)

Wildfire Manwurrk are a melting pot of traditional songlines from ancient times, thrashing rock guitars and the stories people face in a world of culture, chaos and change.

A portrait of a family, father and sons, from one of the most captivating and culturally diverse places in the world, remote Stone Country Arnhem Land Australia.

“This music, it’s looking at both worlds. We’re telling our honest story using Balanda (whitefella) and Bininj (blackfella) music together. Kunborrk (ceremony songlines) with modern instruments are our double tools”

True to their name, WILDFIRE MANWURRK are growing like wildfire with their debut EP, ‘The Next Future’ met with national praise and heartfelt rave media reviews.

‘The Next Future’ launched 3 powerful tracks into the world including ‘Lonely Bangardi’, Don’t Smoke’ and ‘Mararradj’. The songs and accompanying cinematic music videos were hugely successful.

The tracks gained immediate inclusion and rotation airplay with some of Australia’s premier Radio stations including Triple J, Double J and Triple J Unearthed plus many many stations across the nation. The videos were added to playlists and included as features on MTV and Rage.

Articles, artists and media went crazy for their unique raw and honest sound which provided a rare insightful glimpse into life in remote Stone Country Arnhem Land, one of the most inaccessible and intriguing parts of Australia.

“We have a story to tell and this is our voice, in our language, one of the oldest languages in this world. That language, it will help you connect to where you are standing. It will help us come together, where we learn from each other.”
