WEEK 2 Mon 14th Sept: SARAH BELKNER & HUCK HASTINGS

Sarah has always been enamoured with    HUCK HASTINGS for being a true wordsmith with a gift for delivering heartfelt kitchen sink meaning at the drop of a hat. Huck embodies the sentiment of the indie songwriter greats while still being completely unique.

Huck has steadily carved out their place as one of Australia’s most affecting indie-pop voices on the local scene. Their 2021 debut album Cheers to Progress was featured in NME & Junkee, amassing 800k+ streams & selling out its first vinyl run.

Since then, they have remained prolific, releasing singles with side-projects Hacky Sack & Hollow States (both landing among FBi Radio’s most-played), sharing The Clincher (premiered on triple j Unearthed), & supporting artists including The Buoys, Phoebe Go, Andy Bull & Bec Sandridge.

In 2023 they were handpicked by Troye Sivan & Lucas Keller for APRA’s Pride Songhubs, where they co-wrote with Montaigne, Vetta Borne, Flowerkid, Charley, Alex The Astronaut, Luca George & June Jones.

Following the rotation of their single Hold It Against Me on FBi Radio, Hastings reunited with producer/ multi-instrumentalist mmilton (Arne Utiger, Velvet Trip) for the tender new track Everything is Boring (Without You). The release arrives on the back of singles ‘Easy V1’ & their Nova-premiered feature with PEPTALK

In late 2025 Huck joined as the opening act for Ben Lee’s 20th Anniversary Awake is the New Sleep national tour, & was invited back for 9 dates of the Ben Lee on Tour Always rural run in early 2026.

"Huck Hastings makes pop music with a purpose, they just know how to dig down at those inner emotions & still create a toe-tapping earworm at the same time” FBI RADIO

"For those in Sydney’s music scene, discussing what a talent Huck Hastings is feels like preaching to the choir. Despite only playing for a few years as a soloist, they’ve acquired a devoted following for their heartfelt, unapologetically-queer take on indie-pop” JUNKEE

"A balance of lyrical tenderness & musical brightness make ‘Progress’ a damn-near irresistible listening experience well worth your time.” NME
