About Us
Sattva Arising are a collection of talented musicians who are based in Bendigo (Victoria, Australia). Who were all brought together for the love of musical artistic expression. The group started as the brain child of lead singer/songwriter David Turpie while he was working as a solo artist and performing at festivals around Australia from 2012-2019. With one album (Mind Theft) and EP (Paradise County) release under his belt, he decided the time was right to bring together a group of musicians to share in the experience. Enter Jeremie Collard (lead guitar), Adam Bourke (drums), Mitch Charlton (bass) and Harrison Jenner (keyboards) to compete the line up.
Since then, Sattva Arising have been making significant strides in their career, earning regular airplay and critical success among reviewers. Building on the momentum of their live shows supporting established artists the band released their first EP under the current line up in 2024 titled ‘Chase the Sun’. The lead single from the EP ‘I Gave You Everything’ is a journey through a relationship breakdown from two different points of view. The song was also accompanied by a stunning film clip directed and filmed by Paul Burke who managed to visually capture the subject matter perfectly.
Their music is a well crafted original blend of rock and pop that infuses the influences of artists who have helped shaped these genres over the past thirty years such as U2, Matchbox Twenty, Bruno Mars, Foo Fighters and many others. “Sattva Arising are one of the most dynamic bands currently on the scene. Their song writing craft gives an instant Australian classic feel with a mix of poised musicianship and a soundscape that is varied that will demand not just your ears, but your heart's attention” - Tim Grey (Died in a Dream, Ergasia).
Sattva Arising are thrilled to be recording brand new material for an EP that is planned for a July 2025 release. The new material is even more focused this time around due to the benefit of working again with producer Justin Humphries as well as developing the material at live shows.
With a fierce commitment to their craft, Sattva Arising have the ability to write songs that are straight to the point, melodic, memorable and appealing to the listener on an emotional level and are keen to leave their own impact on the music industry.
