Katanak, an emerging indie artist from Brisbane has just released a fresh and catchy pop track titled “Honeycomb and Hurricane” and it’s a perfect anthem for this summer. This single is part of Katanak’s upcoming EP and it’s already making waves with its polished production and energetic vibes.
From the first listen this song grabs your attention with its infectious beats and memorable chorus. The melody is rich and uplifting, designed to get stuck in your head in the best way possible. Katanak’s voice shines throughout the track delivering a performance that’s both captivating and full of life. The instrumental arrangement complements his vocals perfectly blending indie rock and pop elements into a groove that’s hard to resist.
As the Northern Hemisphere gears up for summer “Honeycomb and Hurricane” brings the essence of sun-soaked days and breezy nights right to your playlist. It’s a song that embodies the fun and freedom of the season making it an ideal addition to any summer soundtrack. Fans of The Band Camino, Smallpools and CRUISR will find Katanak’s style refreshingly familiar yet distinct.
In my opinion “Honeycomb and Hurricane” is a standout debut single. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down your car windows and sing along at the top of your lungs. Katanak has successfully captured the essence of summer in this track and I can’t wait to hear more from his debut EP. If this single is any indication, Katanak is definitely an artist to watch.

Fresh indie tunes with catchy pop hooks are the signature style of emerging Brisbane artist Katanak. Known for his infectious indie rock/pop groove-inducing earworms that fans of The Wombats, Smallpools and CRUISR will appreciate, Katanak brings colour to your world. Fresh off touring and collaborating with some of Australia’s most highly respected emerging and established artists (Quan Yeomans (Regurgitator) and Pete Murray to name a few), Katanak comfortably straddles genre’s grey-area of rock & pop, proving that he can’t be defined by genre.
In 2023, Katanak embarked on his second tour of Queensland, taking his music across the region. Notably, he rocked the stages of the Cairns Festival and Rockhampton River Festival, sharing the spotlight with The Delta Riggs. Adding to this growing list of live performances, Katanak supported Pete Murray and secured the prestigious halftime slot at the FIFA Fan Festival during the Matilda’s electrifying game against France for the FIFA Womens Football World Cup.
With a spot on the Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock festival secured for the start of 2024, Katanak says don’t try to define him or his genre, as he firmly believes a good song can’t be defined.
That’s just the first half of the year! Currently recording his debut EP with ARIA Award winner Aidan Hogg (G-Flip, Jaguar Jonze, Hope D), this EP promises to showcase his constantly evolving musical style, capturing the essence of his artistic growth and experimentation.
To date his music has been played on major stations Triple J Unearthed, Double J Radio, ABC Radio, BBC Introducing Radio Solent (UK), BBC Radio nan Gaidheal (Scotland), Amazing Radio (both UK & US), OZ Now Radio and 4ZZZ with Sunday’s video clip added to rotation on MTV Upload across Australia and New Zealand.

With music “oozing the charm of a 90s boy band dipped in a delicious sugar-pop sound” (Music is my Muse), the young musician shows no sign of slowing down any time soon!
