Cam and Ben from local act The Attics joined Dinah and Laura in the Local Roots studio for a Jam Session.

Each week a local independent artist stops by the Local Roots studio to perform a set of 4 tracks live to air for you. Nothing is off limits and we go deep into finding out who they are and why they chose to release music. They’re artists we love and think you’re going to fall in love with too.

Hailing from Colac, in Victoria’s West, The Attics craft their own brand of high-contrast indie. Jangly guitars, ear worming bass hooks and percussive layers melt into a heady blend of dream-pop and soaring psych-rock.

Born as a stream of pop music Cameron Wade crafted from his bedroom, The Attics came to life as a plush four-piece band experience inspired by the likes of Japanese Breakfast, Pond and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

In 2016, the young band found their feet via the release of two glimmering singles ‘Not Like’ and ‘Bluffing’ – the heart of the tracks carried the sugary remnants of Cam’s earlier DIY work. Ever since then they’ve been producing tracks we’ve fallen in love with, and the guys stopped by the Local Roots studio for a live Jam Sesh!
