Verticoli have been shaping Tasmania’s alt-rock scene for years. The trio built their name on direct songwriting and the kind of unpolished precision that comes from time on stage. They’ve toured across Australia, sharing bills with Cog, DZ Deathrays, Kingswood, and British India, and their live reputation feeds straight into how they record — loud, close, and cohesive.
Milk and Honey is the band at full volume without losing control. The guitars feel thick and dry, the rhythm section drives with muscle, and the vocal keeps everything centered. It’s rock music that works because it sounds real. The track has that wide, cinematic pull that makes it feel ready for film or TV, but it holds onto a sense of sweat and noise that gives it life.
What makes it work is the balance between space and force. Every part has air around it; nothing crowds. It feels like three musicians playing for each other first, listeners second. If Milk and Honey points to where their upcoming album Silverlinings is heading, Verticoli might be one of the few bands still treating heaviness as something that can feel sharp and human at the same time.
