about

Back Pocket are a four-piece rock band from Melbourne. Having begun as the humble guitar-and-vocals-only project of songwriters Sophie Dickinson and Anna Stewart, Back Pocket found its stride in 2022, playing gigs around Melbourne with a fully-fledged rhythm section. Coupling self-conscious lyrics with self-indulgent solos, the band found their sound somewhere in the international waters between dolerock, riot grrrl and new wave. Now, after a brief hibernation, Back Pocket are back. With new additions, Lincoln Healy and O’Sullivan, Back Pocket are returning to their regular haunts.
