Bio
The Tinderboxers are a young indie rock band from Hobart, Tasmania.
They began playing together in high school and perform arrangements of frontman Alex Buktenica’s songs.
Having released their debut single Let Go in 2018, The Tinderboxers have fast established themselves in the Tasmanian music scene. On the national stage, they have received airplay on Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, 4ZZZ and community radio. The band continued to gain momentum throughout 2019, scoring a string of high-profile support slots; sharing stages with the likes of Ruby Fields, Luca Brasi, Lime Cordiale and Slowly Slowly.
Gap Year is the latest single from the band.
The song reveals a darker side to the band’s sound in comparison to prior releases: offering a glimpse of the diverse sound showcased on their debut EP (set for release in early 2020).
Written about a bad night at a party, the lyrics explore the isolation and lost moments that often accompany the passage of youth. Melded with chorus-laden guitar, pulsing drums and bass, and tight emotive harmonies, Gap Year is a brilliantly relatable and poignant piece of pop music.
The band will be embarking on their first ever headline tour this February to celebrate the release of their debut EP with dates in Sydney, Melbourne and their hometown Hobart.

The Tinderboxers are here for fun times and good vibes only. The tone of that melody is super fun and full of personality. There's this irresistible charm about it too.

The Tinderboxers are here for fun times and good vibes only. The tone of that melody is super fun and full of personality. There's this irresistible charm about it too. In love with this and the way you've wrapped your lyrics around it too. "Why waste my money when my life is like a movie", "why write these songs when nobody's gonna pay me". Love those two lines. Love the way they stand out. The singalong / psychy feel at the end is super cool too. Definitely a band to keep a strong eye on.
