Lisa Maxwell’s debut EP ‘Bad Day’ is an amazing debut effort from this vibrant and outgoing country Victorian female rocker.
Lead track ‘Bad Day’ is a captivating 3 min energy powerhouse with punchy rock/pop sounds and irresistible hooks and melody, while tracks such as ‘Delusion’ and ‘Ego’ display a darker side to Lisa’s songwriting and her ability to write intriguing and aggressive guitar parts.
Lisa Maxwell has enjoyed local and international radio and television airplay. Featured nationally on ABC-TV's Rage program and On Demand broadband website were the videos 'Bad Day', 'Delusion' and the popular track 'Harmonic Rock' with its bizarre clip inspired by the Japanese cult horror film Ring. In response, hundreds of Rage viewers have registered and downloaded these clips from Durrant's rewindthat.net website, joining a worldwide user group who are currently enjoying Lisa’s unique style of dark Aussie rock.
In 2003 Lisa was signed to an Arts Victoria recording project produced by Bent Records label owner Jamie Durrant. Chosen from a group of 500 Victorian bands and artists, Lisa Maxwell soon became pick of the bunch and was snapped up for a three album deal to Rewind that! - Durrant’s new production company.
If independence is where it's at for young Aussie alternate rockers these days then Lisa Maxwell is without a doubt one of the best. Please take the time to open your ears and eyes - you'll be pleasantly surprised, indie cool has just got a lot cooler.

Benalla's Lisa Maxwell ain't just a rock chick.
No, the 18-year-old is a talented singer, songwriter and musician who is turning heads with her edgy style and attitude.
A team effort with producer Jamie Durrant, Maxwell's debut five-track EP 'Bad Day' shows plenty of promise and exhibits the lyrically-strong and catchy tunes that obviously had Durrant so eager to work with the North East teen.
The title track opens proceedings, is strong lyrically and tips its hat chorus-wise to 80's hair rock.
'Delusion' follows suit and is a solid and catchy track certainly suited to radio while 'Ego' is a darker effort which is tight musically.
The instrumental jam 'Harmonic Rock' drops in momentarily before the harmonic rock of 'Whatever You Say' closes a solid and enjoyable EP.
