Donkey Kid is a German indie band that has made waves in the music scene with their unique sound that combines elements of coming-of-age films with a nostalgic retro feel reminiscent of the 1980s. Their hit single "Linger On" is a fan favourite and has propelled the band and their 20-year-old frontman Jurek to the top of the German indie scene.
What sets Donkey Kid apart is their ability to infuse their lyrics with vivid imagery and a relaxed style that makes even their introspective songs feel like light summer tracks. Jurek sings about love, heartbreak, loneliness and self-doubt with an openness that is both understandable and refreshing. And even when he sings about his hangovers, he manages to make it a catchy and memorable song.
If you've already exhausted their catalogue on Spotify, don't worry - there are plenty of hidden gems to be found on Soundcloud. And fans can look forward to even more music from Donkey Kid in the future, as they are reportedly working on a bigger project. All in all, Donkey Kid is a band definitely worth listening to by anyone who loves indie music with a pinch of nostalgia and a lot of heart.

Every so often, an artist appears whose music doesn’t try to be loud—it just speaks clearly. Ira Rogen, an independent country artist from Australia, is one of those voices. Blending the lyrical spirit of country music with the structure and sensitivity of pop, Rogen brings real moments to life through song.
When four high school friends from Wollongong attended a music camp in 2022, they didn’t realize they were setting the foundation for one of the region's most exciting indie- psych outfits. That’s how Cytosis was born—Hector (vocals/guitar), Miles (bass/keys), Brinley (guitar), and Jayden (drums/backing vocals) transformed shared curiosity into serious sonic intent.
