Gut Health is an Australian band based in Melbourne. Their debut album, Stiletto, was released to positive reviews in 2024. The band's music has been described as post-punk and dance-punk.[1][2]

History

Gut Health was formed in 2021 by vocalist Athina Uh-Oh and bassist Adam Markmann,[3] who began writing when stuck together during the coronavirus pandemic in Melbourne.[1] The band initially practiced and recorded in a storage unit in Brunswick,[1] leading to the release of their debut EP, Electric Party Chrome Girl and lead single "Inner Norm" in 2022.[4] Further singles, "The Recipe and "Uh Oh", were released in 2023.[5][6] In May 2024, the band signed a global live booking deal with AWAL and record publishing deal with Concord Music Publishing.[7] The band's debut album, Stiletto, was released in October 2024. Stiletto received praise from Clash,[8] Far Out,[9] and NME,[10] and was listed by Rolling Stone as the eighth best Australian album of 2024.[11] The album was announced in July 2024 with the release of a single, Cool Moderator, a song about "youthful rebellion", and featured a music video co-directed by Athina Uh-Oh and Renee Kypriotis.[2][12] The band commenced writing a second album in early 2025.[13]
