Melbourne’s Punk & New Wave DIY Visionary
From the ashes of countless Melbourne garage punk outfits emerges Brat Farrar, the solo project of veteran musician Sam Agostino. Known for his explosive work with bands like Digger and the Pussycats, Kamikaze Trio, and Russian Roulettes, Sam has reinvented himself as Brat Farrar — a relentless DIY force blending punk rock, new wave, and electro-punk into a fiery sonic experience.
Since launching Brat Farrar in 2011 from a Brunswick bedroom studio, Sam has smashed out two full-length albums and a string of singles, showcasing his uncompromising, all-in approach to music. As a one-man powerhouse, Sam writes, performs, records, mixes, and masters every track, taking the DIY ethos to its ultimate level.
The Brat Farrar sound is defined by Sam’s distinctive songwriting and guitar work, delivering a furious yet melodic blend that recalls the raw edge of early Wipers, the experimental pulse of Chrome, the dark energy of Suicide, and the angular intensity of Wire. Fans of new-wave punk will find plenty to love in Brat Farrar’s catalog — including his latest three-track release that stays true to this signature style.
Never content to be boxed in by genre, Sam Agostino continuously pushes musical boundaries, ensuring Brat Farrar remains fresh, unpredictable, and fiercely original. If you crave authentic punk energy fused with innovative new wave vibes, Brat Farrar is the name to know.
