Fool Nelson Drops a Dreamy New Single and Dominates WA Stages.

We couldn’t go past Fool Nelson as our Local Artist of the Month for May.
The Perth-based alt-pop outfit has been steadily carving out a name for themselves in the local scene, and this past month, they truly levelled up.
Formed in Perth by a group of mates who started out jamming at uni, Fool Nelson has evolved from local gig darlings into a polished live act known for their dreamy production, emotional storytelling, and effortlessly cool stage presence.|Their latest single, “Bad Dream”, dropped in May and offers a haunting, shimmering follow-up to 2024’s “Don’t Feel Right”. The track blends floaty guitars with bittersweet lyrics that capture the raw emotion that’s become a signature of
their sound.

But Fool Nelson didn’t just release music—they were everywhere this month.
They delivered a standout show in Fremantle, showing off their refined live energy, and landed a major slot at Triple J’s One Night Stand in Bunbury, where they played to a massive regional crowd.
These performances showed just how far they’ve come, with tight musicianship and undeniable crowd connection.
Here’s why they’re our pick; A killer new release that showcases growth and sonic maturity, Consistently strong live performances, including major stages this month, A unique alt-pop sound that blends WA indie energy with something fresh, Real momentum and a growing fanbase in and beyond Perth.
We’re backing Fool Nelson all the way—catch them on-air and across our playlists throughout the month.
