The Engagement

Heaven So Close was described by MTV as “an uplifting anthem,” Triple J hailed their “hooks and glitz,” and SYN FM declared Closure “We love this track!”

From major events like ‘St Kilda Festival’ and ‘Luna Dark’ to sold-out shows at The Gasometer, Cherry Bar and Bergy Bandroom, The Engagement continue to captivate audiences with songs that explore resilience, vulnerability and empowerment delivering music that connects on both an emotional and anthemic level.
