Palladium was an Australian band from Brisbane[1] that was active from 1997 to 2003. The band consisted of members Chris Chalk (drums), Andrew Morris (guitar and vocals), Justin Sykes (bass) and Brant Ward (guitar and vocals).[2]

Palladium released their debut single "Hoarsey" in March 2001.[3] Their debut album, Sister Flute and the Sunday Best, was released later in the year.[2]

In 2003, They released "Everybody Loves New Fashion"[4] which reached No. 92 on the ARIA Singles chart.[5]

The band received significant national airplay on Triple J with songs such as "Hoarsey" and "Good Girls".[2][6]

They played their last show in October 2003 after Ward had decided to part ways. Morris, Sykes and Chalk were already working together on a new project.[7] The band were recording a new album at the time.[8] In 2009 the material that the band was working on at the time of their break-up had remained unreleased.[9]
