Inventions are a Melbourne, alternative-rock act who also span the pop-punk genre.
Their latest single is ‘Shadows’, a song that traverses themes of angst and noir fantasy which is underpinned by an enticing, nervous propulsion.

Ahead of their Brisbane support of Violent Soho this weekend, Inventions share some of their first world angst with the following Top 5: first world problems living in Australia.
$20 EFTPOS Minimums
There's no quicker way to lose a customer than to impose an EFTPOS minimum, let alone a slapping a $20 fee. It's either that or charging to an extra 50 cents per transaction; nobody got time for that [sic].
Flights To Perth More Expensive Than Flights To NZ
It's no wonder Perth misses out on so many touring bands, festivals, and tourists – it's usually cheaper to go on an overseas holiday to New Zealand or Bali. Perth is beautiful, it's time we show it some love!
Tim Tams Not Always On Special
Aside from the very few of us who are either allergic to chocolate or simply don't like the taste, it's probably the highlight of a trip to Coles when you see Tim Tams on special. If only we saved 20 percent off every time, we might all be high on chocolatey endorphins every day.
The $2 Coin Smaller Than The $1 Coin
This one is just an obvious one. Our notes and silver coins are in order of size, why not our goldies? Give our Aboriginal elders some more room to grow their beards!
7/11 Slurpee Machines Broken On A Summer’s Day
There's nothing more demoralising than expecting to be filled with icy goodness from a Slurpee machine on a blistering summer’s day only to see the dreaded 'out of order' sign. At least the air-conditioning might stop you from having a mental breakdown.
Inventions support Violent Soho this Saturday 13 December at the Mansfield Tavern in Brisbane. They also have a support slot with mewithoutYou at 170 Russell, Melbourne, on Saturday 25 January.
