BOCCE

Based out of nipaluna / Hobart, Australia, BOCCE is a five-piece alt-rock outfit that melds the sun-drenched tonality of surf-rock with the anthemic nostalgia of ’90s indie.

Consisting of Liam Meagher (vocals and rhythm guitar), Zac Flanagan (lead guitar), Will Barwick (drums), Campbell Jepson (bass), and Nick McCarthy (keys and guitar), the band established themselves over late-night jam sessions in a coastal shed.

Having showcased at the 2025 edition of South by Southwest (SXSW) in Sydney, supported bands such as Ball Park Music, Teenage Dads, Pacific Avenue and Old Mervs on tours across Tasmania, and appeared at major festivals such as Great Escape and Party in the Paddock, BOCCE is carving out their own path with a distinct sound and a relentless passion. Their captivating live shows and relatable lyricism explore themes of love, loss, and life’s repetitive cycles, delivered with raw, heartfelt honesty.

In 2022, BOCCE released their debut EP While We Wait, recorded in a newly repurposed sheep-shearing shed, and later that year, went on to release their most loved song to date Letter to Myself. This track saw the band really push their boundaries and significantly bolster the quality of their sound, working with acclaimed producer Jack Nigro (The Amity Affliction, Pacific Avenue, Rum Jungle). The second single recorded with Jack, Fortune, released early in 2023 and also received high praise, being chosen to feature on Vinyl Moon Co.'s (USA) Vol. 97 The Pond Beyond.

After coming out of a temporary hibernation during 2024 and into a huge summer of live shows - supporting the likes of Dear Seattle, and playing both major Tasmanian festivals, Great Escape and Party in the Paddock - BOCCE are back with the release of their newest single, Romancer (2026). With more new music coming in 2026, the boys are hitting the ground running with confidence and a newfound maturity.
