The hunt for Australia‘s next major musicians has officially wrapped and you can get your ears around the four winners right bloody now.
For those out of the loop, Alison Wonderland, 360, The Rubens and 5 Seconds of Summer took over their own ads on YouTube to showcase 16 musical acts, with the industry vets showcasing four artists each from their own genre.
This was all part of the EXTRA® Support Acts program which sniffed out the most promising artists Oz has to offer, and the four winners crowned will cop mentoring from their selected musicians, they’ll perform at the Universal Music ARIA Week Showcase and head into the studio for a recording sesh.

Ivey, Always

Gold Coast five-piece Ivey have racked up quite a following on social media, so it’s no real surprise that they took out the prize with their song Always.
Watch 5SOS‘ support act do what they do best and if you don’t vibe it then your entire taste in music is seriously off – but you know, to each their own. No judgement here.
