Jollee

We started Jollee in 2019 with a guitar, a rented rehearsal space and a very stubborn belief that we had something worth saying.

Six years later, we've played every sweaty pub room and festival stage that would have us. We've shared stages with Wolfmother, Killing Heidi, Superjesus, Everclear and The Southern River Band — not because someone handed us those spots, but because we earned them.

People have noticed. Sarah McLeod of The Superjesus declared, "Jollee just got nasty — and I'm here for it." Good Call Live said Brooke is "a perfect example of why women are born to rock." Our music has clocked over 30,000 streams on Spotify independently — no label, no playlist placement, just people finding it and sharing it. And when we play live, we fill rooms. We've headlined venues with 400+ capacity and kept the crowd coming back.

And now we've made the record we always wanted to make.

Homewrecker is six songs — 50 Foot Woman, Homewrecker, Breathe, 199, Grow and Wakeup Heartbreak. It's the truest thing we've put our name to. Bigger sound, punchier bass lines, Brooke's vocals pushed further than anything we've released before.

Here's the problem. The recording is done. But getting it properly mixed, mastered and released on every streaming platform — done at the level it deserves — costs money we don't have sitting around. That's where you come in.

We're not asking you to fund a dream. We're asking you to help us release a record that already exists.

If we hit $10,000, we get Homewrecker mixed and mastered to the standard it deserves and distributed to Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL and every platform worldwide.

If we hit our stretch goal of $12,000, we'll press a limited run of vinyl and shoot a proper music video for the title track.

We've given six years to this. This is the one that changes things.

Where your money goes

Every dollar raised through this campaign goes directly into getting Homewrecker finished and out into the world. Here's exactly how the funds will be used.

Recording completion — $3,010
The recordings are done. What's left is the professional finishing. We've engaged a professional mixing engineer to balance and refine all six tracks, followed by professional mastering to ensure the EP sounds consistent, loud enough, and ready for every streaming platform and format. This is the step that takes what we recorded and makes it what it's supposed to sound like.

Release & distribution — $425
We'll be releasing Homewrecker through DistroKid, distributing simultaneously to Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and 40+ platforms worldwide. This also covers final EP artwork formatting, ISRC codes, credits and all metadata required for a professional release.

Promotion — $4,100
Getting the record out is only half the job. Getting people to hear it is the other half. The promotional budget covers four targeted activities:

Independent music publicist — Australian EP press campaign (6 weeks): We're engaging an experienced independent Australian music publicist to run a dedicated six-week campaign around the Homewrecker release. The campaign will target music blogs and online publications, print and digital music press, community and commercial radio stations for airplay consideration, podcast and interview opportunities, and review placements across Australian independent music media. The publicist will pitch Jollee's story, the EP's themes, and the band's six-year trajectory to editors and journalists who cover Australian independent rock. Every placement secured becomes a permanent press asset — building the band's credibility for future booking, festival applications, and industry conversations.

Press release writing & distribution: A professionally written press release/s distributed to the publicist's media contact list and submitted directly to key Australian music outlets including The Music Network, Happy Mag, Tone Deaf, and Good Call Live.

Spotify playlist pitching — SubmitHub: A targeted playlist pitching campaign through SubmitHub, submitting Homewrecker tracks to independent playlist curators across the rock, indie rock and Australian music categories. Playlist placement is one of the most effective ways to reach new listeners organically on Spotify, and SubmitHub's curator network gives independent artists direct access to curators who are actively listening and responding.

Meta social media advertising — Facebook & Instagram: A targeted paid advertising campaign across Facebook and Instagram timed to coincide with the EP release. Ads will be targeted by location (Australia-wide with emphasis on Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria — the primary tour markets), age, and music interest categories, pushing the EP to new listeners who don't yet know Jollee but are exactly the kind of audience who will.

Contingency — $754
A 10% contingency to cover any overruns in mixing revisions, additional promotion opportunities, or unexpected release costs.

Platform & payment fees — $740
Pozible's standard 5% platform fee plus payment processing costs, applicable only if the campaign is successful.

Total — $9,029

If we hit our stretch goal of $12,000, the additional $2,971 goes toward pressing a limited run of numbered vinyl and producing a professional music video for the title track.
