Local band Silvia Lane is taking on a busy 2025 with live gigs, song releases, and an EP due out later this year.

Silvia Lane, featuring Shellharbour's Jack Micallef and Jake Sutton, has been performing gigs at popular local live music venues, including The Servo at Port Kembla and La La La’s in Globe Lane, Wollongong, and the UOW UniBar.

The full EP is due out later this year but Silvia Lane has already released three tracks: Can’t Feel, Strange Nostalgia and the most recent Jasmine, which the band launched in February at The Servo.

Frontman Jack says the two-piece band's sound is "indie/garage rock" and that he is inspired by Hockey Dad, another famous Illawarra band that rocketed two lads from Windang, Billy Fleming and Zach Stephenson, to global fame.

Jack and Jake met at Corpus Christi High School in Oak Flats where they studied music. They were originally in another band with other schoolmates but eventually joined forces and ended up together in Silvia Lane. Jack is the band's songwriter, lead vocalist and plays electric guitar, while Jake plays drums and sings backing vocals. They started work on the band's first pieces of music in 2023.

Jack says Silvia Lane's initial gigs in front of young crowds at Wollongong and Kiama youth centres helped them make a start. They also performed at open mic nights to gain experience.

Silvia Lane's music is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other streaming platforms, as well as on YouTube.

In addition to playing more local gigs, the boys say they are planning to tour Australia's east coast once they finish the EP.

Look out for the band at La La La's on March 19 for a special gig where ticket sales go towards their new EP.
