Melbourne-based rockers IV League are Bella Venutti and Lachie Gilmour, a pair of collaborators who are very much still in their formative years, but who possess a deep understanding of music. Kneeling at the feet of 90’s-era heroes like Pixies and The Breeders, they still manage to make music that not only draws from their influences, but also creates something that is refreshingly new and unique, meeting the grunge ferocity with low key and tender moments. They've released three singles, as well as posting songs on Soundcloud since 2016, and their combining of alt-rock and garage-pop-infused fuzz creates big harmonies in a shimmering upbeat style. Bella Venutti launched a solo project in 2019, and the band haven't posted on Soundcloud since then, so it could be that they've now broken up, but they do leave behind an album full of fine indie rock as their legacy.
