Cape Town-based punk hyperpop trio, Internet Girl, has been named Apple Music’s Up Next artist for June. This accolade is part of Apple Music’s initiative to highlight emerging local talent, launched in early 2021.
“We’re super stoked to be on Up Next!” the band shared with Apple Music. “It’s been a crazy year, seeing some dreams come to fruition—now this is pretty cool. But we’re greedy; we want more! This is just the beginning for Internet Girl.”
Formed in 2019, Internet Girl—comprised of Ntsika Bungane, Matthew Burgess, and James Smith—has carved out a unique niche with their gritty live shows and grungy attitude. Their new EP, ROLE MODEL (2024), available on Apple Music today, marks a bold new direction, blending punk and rap with crass, confrontational lyrics that delve into the seedy underbelly of Cape Town’s city life.
As the Up Next artist, Internet Girl will be featured across Apple Music’s South African Up Next playlist, showcasing a dynamic mix of emerging artists selected by Apple Music editors globally. Check out the playlist and discover the next wave of musical talent.
