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.
Since then, it’s been all movement: late-night sessions, live gigs, and the emergence of a sound that lands somewhere between heady psych textures and toe- tapping indie riffs. With their debut single “Teach Me How” freshly released and a debut album in the works, Cytosis is moving fast—but never without intention.
Creating a New Lane in Indie-Psych
Cytosis isn't chasing trends—they're refining their own. The band’s sound is rooted in a dual love for melodic indie and intricate composition. That balance is what gives their music its personality: familiar enough to vibe with, but layered enough to sit with. Themes in their music float from love and loneliness to slices of their own lived experience. “We try to match lyrics to the vibe of the song,” the band explains, emphasizing their focus on making music that resonates. In a landscape crowded with clones, Cytosis is drawing from the personal, not the performative.
DIY Energy and Real Growth
Their songwriting process is as democratic as their performances. A spark—usually a real- life moment—gets carried into the studio, and from there, it becomes a group project. “We all build on each other’s ideas,” they say. It's this collaborative energy that has pushed their growth, evolving from campfire jams to structured compositions. Over time, they've sharpened their musical identity and confidence. “We’ve grown so much since our early songs,” they admit. That growth isn’t abstract—it's audible in the precision and personality of their current work.
The Power of the Stage and What’s Next
Ask Cytosis about their favorite moments, and they won’t talk about studio milestones— they’ll talk about the stage. “We love playing live. Nothing beats performing in front of a crowd and seeing people respond to your music in real-time,” they say. One standout memory: a crowd waving their flashlights back at them, the kind of cinematic moment that sticks with a band forever.
Though collaborations haven’t come yet, the band is open. “We’d love to work with other artists,” they say. Right now, though, it's about building consistency, growing the fan base, and shaping their next chapters. Their visual content is crafted with the same care, leaning on lyrics and emotions to shape every video and artwork into something recognizable and real.
“Just Go For It”: Cytosis’ Note to Fans
If there's one message Cytosis wants to leave with listeners and future artists, it’s to take the leap. “There’s always going to be someone out there who connects with what you’re doing,” they say. For a band that’s built everything from the ground up, the advice feels earned. Cytosis is proving that with good friends, hard work, and your own voice—you don’t just make music. You build something that lasts.
