“…equal parts catchy left-field hip-hop silliness and striking poignancy, echoing the frustrations of young adulthood much more than first appears.” – Rolling Stone

Australian Guitar Magazine once described Rachel Maria Cox as “the perfect blend of panic and disco”, and their latest single Say You Love Me is the same amount of panic, but now with 50% more disco!

After a pandemic-induced hiatus from live performance, RMC is back with a new alt-pop sound. While 2020-2021 was quiet on the live show front, they were no stranger to the stage, establishing themselves as well and truly one of NSW’s most sought after pop DJs. The music of their DJ Sets - Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Ariana Grande and Charli XCX - found its way into their songwriting, and their 2022 forthcoming EP “The Day You Left” cements the pop-rock sound that was hinted at in their 2019 single “Prosecco”.


Rachel Maria Cox’s career has seen them support a huge range of artists across an eclectic range of genres, from alt-rock like Alex Lahey and Ali Barter, to post-hardcore and punk legends like La Dispute, Jeff Rosenstock and The Hard Aches. They are also a frequent performer at LGBTQ events like Heaps Gay and Queer and Now. They first started getting noticed with their 2016 EP “I Just Have A Lot Of Feelings”, which they followed up with the acclaimed Debut LP “Untidy Lines” in 2017. This saw them showcase at BIGSOUND, play Groovin’ The Moo, and win the Triple J Unearthed NIDA Competition. Follow up singles “Time” (2018) and “Prosecco” (2019) hinted at the new direction of more pop-aligned aesthetics coupled with emotionally honest and sincere lyrics. 

2022 sees RMC arrive at their full pop potential, and re-establish themselves as an artist to watch. 

“I wasn't expecting this transformation from RMC. They've retained their signature confessional songwriting style but coupled it with this new sassy, full bodied disco attitude.” - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J (on Prosecco)

”a colourful, soaring blast of pop energy from rmc which demands you get dancing.” - Declan Byrne, Triple J (on Prosecco)

”We’re totally seeing a different side to RMC here. A brand new attitude, a sound that’ll get you movin’ and a drizzling chorus that reaches distance. RMC is taken over the d floor on this one in full style.” - Claire Mooney, Triple J Unearthed (on Prosecco)

“As though the music of Courtney Barnett and Carly Rae Jepsen had a baby. Rachel Maria Cox is truly an artist on the come-up.” - Pilerats

“A self-confessed former emo kid that now presents themselves as a confident born entertainer, throwing themselves into every line of each jazzy, dancefloor-ready pop number.” - Volume media

“stunningly honest songwriter... Musically Rachel Maria Cox sits somewhere between Suzi Quatro and Britney Spears; a glorious and completely unforgiving crossroads of classic rock and pop diva sensibility hung off the accent of someone who lives in Newcastle” – Laundry Echo
