Dylan Reisch

Dylan Reisch is a singer-songwriter, with guitar his first love and gateway into the world of composition. He writes songs about the complicated business of being human with a signature of hope. His music can be described as alt-folk and pop-punk-influenced but ultimately reflects his eclectic taste accumulated over a decade of making music. 

Dylan first started writing songs and playing guitar at the pivotal age of 14, where his inspiration ranged from the girls at school to cool and weird fantastical monsters and ancient myths. The world changed and he grew up, but some things stayed the same. 

In 2008 Dylan travelled to Canada for a few weeks to meet up with friends and ended up staying there for almost eight years. In Toronto he founded the jazz and blues driven band Bastard Sunshine, later joined the psychedelic alt-rock outfit Duck Duck Goose (née Shoot the Stork) and got signed as a solo artist by indie label New Media Records (RIP). He played an extensive range of live shows during this period, including music festivals, corporate events, small venues and parties. 

After returning home to Sydney in 2016, Dylan graduated from the Australian Institute of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Composition & Music Production. He currently performs as both an acoustic solo artist and as lead singer/writer with his current band Goodmonster; frequently playing to appreciative crowds with their energetic, dance-and-sing-along-heavy live shows at venues including The Great Club, Petersham Bowlo and Moshpit.

Their recorded material has received write ups from Milky and Scenestr, with playlist inclusions on Spotify and multiple tracks used on the latest season of Farmer Wants A Wife (I’m The One, This Is Our Eternity and 2021 release Whatever This Is).
