Born in a garage turned-studio in Perth, Western Australia, CHARM conjures a warm and hazy blend of indie and psychedelic rock. Comprising Loehm Steel (vocals / rhythm guitar), John Porretta (lead guitar), Ben Bignell (drums), and Harry Friesner (bass), the band write, record, and produce everything in their home studio — mixing analog soul with modern detail.
Drawing from artists like Ocean Alley, Pond, and The 1975, CHARM’s sound evokes a sense of place and memory through a warm lens. Their music captures the essence of connection and craft, built around groove-driven guitars, lush melodies, and nostalgic textures.
Their upcoming single “Do It Again” continues the band’s self-made momentum following supports for Letters to Lions, Freddy Crabs (Sticky Fingers), and The Colliflowers — as CHARM build a new era of West Australian indie rock, founded on authenticity and undeniable charm.
