XMusic, Australia’s only record label championing hard rock with a handful of country rock acts as well, celebrates its 5th Anniversary in 2026. What started as an idea from former Sony Music executive Tim McLean-Smith to help emerging rock bands has turned into a full blown label with an exciting roster including Sisters Doll, Dellacoma, Karly Jewell and the labels first international signing, Blvd of Eyes.
Tim says of the milestone, “I am so proud and honoured we are celebrating 5 years of XMusic. The artists are family and the fans are our extended crazy cousins! Love to all of you who support us and turn up to shows – stream the music and buy albums and merch!”
Five Years Loud. For five years, XMusic has turned the volume up on Aussie Artists. To mark the milestone, XMusic joins forces with Six Fathoms Australian Spirits to release a limited-edition range of premium Australian Whisky and Vodka. This isn’t just a bottle. It’s a celebration of building careers, backing artists, and pushing sound to the limits. Of late nights. Of sold-out rooms. Of first singles and final encores. Distilled with precision. Bottled with attitude.
When ordering, fans can choose the label’s brand or have their favourite XMusic Artists featured on the bottle labels, including;
