“3 piece shoegaze inspired band taking elements from grungegaze, blackgaze and other genres from Wellington, NZ.”

Libbianski formed as a band in 2022, blending the various backgrounds of all the members culminating in their take of genre-defying shoegaze.

Spending 2023 writing and rehearsing their first album »Useless Splendour«, they took it on the road and toured across New Zealand throughout 2024 working with Footstomp Music to promote it across New Zealand and Australia.

Mixing crushing guitars, driving bass and heavy drums, Libbianski’s sound has evolved since their debut 2024 album »Useless Splendour« with several new singles on the horizon as well as a brand new EP for the end of 2025 recorded at their home studio and rehearsal space at Over The Hill Records.

Due for release at the end of year 2025, Libbianski is ready to showcase this EP, entitled »Episode 1«. Self-recorded, it captures the raw DIY sound of Libbianski’s new three piece configuration.
