If you're one of the many who has a shortened attention span in this modern internet age, or you find yourself in a time crunch, I've compiled you a list of some of my favourite local Meanjin (Brisbane) or broader Queensland based acts with less than 10 songs out on streaming! Get to know these names before they become world famous so you can claim OG fan status!
