Lola Scott is part of a new wave of Australian artists reshaping what pop can sound like when it keeps one foot in guitar music and the other in self-awareness. Raised in regional New South Wales and now based in Sydney, she came up through years of disciplined musicianship, studying classical guitar and working as a session player before stepping out under her own name. That foundation shows. Her songs are concise, melodic, and structurally sharp, with a sense of intention behind every choice rather than a grab for trend.
Tracks like High School Drama, Only Miss U and Caffeineearned rotation on triple j and pushed her onto national tours supporting artists such as Men I Trust and Holly Humberstone. Live, she carries herself with ease, letting the songs do the work rather than overselling the moment.
What sets Lola Scott apart is how she balances accessibility with edge. Her music borrows from 90s guitar pop and modern indie without leaning too hard on nostalgia, pairing clean hooks with lyrics that feel observant rather than diaristic. It is pop music that understands its lineage but is not interested in copying it. With each release, Scott has sharpened her voice and widened her audience, positioning herself as an artist building longevity through craft, consistency, and taste rather than noise.
MORE MOODS
Ruel Australia
Sydney's RUEL joins us on Mood on the Roof, which this time just happens to be a floor down, for a secret YouTube Music Nights show in our warehouse, played in the round to a sweat-soaked crowd getting the new Kicking My Feet & Screaming songs at point-blank range.
Sports United States
Oklahoma’s Sports have spent the last decade making electronic/pop music that’s almost too slippery to categorise, pulling psych, funk, soft rock and electronics into something unmistakably their own. They hit the roof with two cuts from their new self-titled record, the nervy, glitch-heavy “Drama King” and the much warmer “Keep Falling in Love”.
Jack Gray Australia
Jack Gray performs Winter City like a late check-in from the road, all cold-air pop hooks and touring fatigue, the sound of an Australian kid looking around a foreign skyline and turning the homesick feeling into something you can sing along to.
Chris Lanzon Australia
Chris Lanzon returns to the roof, with alll of this artistic growth coming to fruition on Lanzon’s long-awaited debut album, “You’re Missing The Best Part”. Lanzon steps back in with an expanded arrangement and bringing friends for “Dinner Party” and “Weatherman”.
