From trap music to indie-pop, this dynamic trio effortlessly traverses genres, crafting a sound that defies easy categorization while remaining undeniably catchy and relatable.


Founded by childhood friends Ntstika "TK" Bungane and Matthew "Neese" Burgess, whose creative partnership dates back to their high school days, Internet Girl initially delved into the realm of SoundCloud rap before evolving into a more commercially appealing sound. With the addition of lead guitarist and producer James "Griggs" Smith, the band found their stride, blending their diverse musical influences into a cohesive sonic tapestry that speaks to a generation raised on internet culture.


The release of their EP 'Parasocial Interaction' in 2023 marked a significant milestone for Internet Girl, delving into the complexities of life both online and offline while offering a glimpse into the journey of up-and-coming artists navigating the tumultuous waters of the music industry. Through candid lyrics and infectious melodies, the band invites listeners to join them on a voyage of self-discovery and introspection, all set against a backdrop of pulsating beats and electrifying guitar riffs.


In a recent interview, the band opened up about their ambitions, creative process, and the unique challenges of being South African artists striving for global recognition. Despite initial aspirations of instant stardom, Internet Girl acknowledges the slow and sometimes unpredictable nature of the music industry, emphasizing the importance of staying true to their artistic vision while embracing the journey of growth and evolution.


One of the most striking aspects of Internet Girl's music is its ability to transcend geographical boundaries, resonating with listeners from diverse backgrounds and cultures. While rooted in their South African heritage, the band draws inspiration from internet culture and a myriad of musical influences, resulting in a sound that feels simultaneously familiar and refreshingly original.


As Internet Girl continues to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances and genre-defying music, it's clear that they are poised for even greater success on the global stage.
