Enter Pyrocookies, a band born from the casual jamming sessions of friends Tav, Tim, and John, and later fuelled by the addition of Marina, whose vocal prowess and songwriting skills added a new dimension to their sound.

The Genesis of Pyrocookies

Pyrocookies began as a casual jam among friends. Tav (bass), Tim (guitar), and John (drums) had been part of Brisbane's punk and rock scene for years, contributing to various bands and projects.

Marina’s arrival as the vocalist and songwriter brought a powerful stage presence and intricate vocal melodies that perfectly complemented the gritty riffs.

Influences and Sound

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences such as Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alice in Chains, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC), Pyrocookies craft a unique sound that defies easy categorisation. Their music is a fusion of dark energy, reminiscent of The Kills mixed with the raw power of a Stooges gig. Marina’s stage presence has been likened to a female Iggy Pop colliding with Nina Hagen, making Pyrocookies an explosive act on stage.
