The Next Crop predicts whom triple j thinks will be big in 2014 and, obviously, will be supporting through airplay and other promotional activities.
The six Melbourne/Victorian acts to watch out for are stoners The Bennies, dusty blues singer songwriter D.D Dumbo (aka Oliver Perry) from Castlemaine, soulful singer Meg Max aka Megan McInerney, harmonica-laden roots rock band The Murlocs who are fronted by Broderick Smith’s son Ambrose, hip hop act Remi who made waves with his F.Y.G Act: 1 mixtape this year and tribal electronica duo Willow Beats who are made up of beat maker Narayana Johnson and his singer niece Kalyani Ellis.
The six acts join five from NSW (Born Lion, Cosmo’s Midnight, Dustin Tebbutt, Gang Of Youths, Wave Racer) three from Queensland (The Creases, Eves, The Kite String Tangle) and Western Australia (The Love Junkies, Mathas, Statues), two from South Australia (Bad//Dreems, MC Tkay Maidza) and one from the ACT (SAFIA).
