Making Noise With LUCY MAY From CLOSURE

Interview by Kris Peters
Sydney-based post hardcore four-piece Closure continue their
impressive momentum in 2025 after the release of their
long-anticipated debut EP, The Sweet Suffering, which is out now on
all major streaming platforms. The record includes the previously
released singles Hindsight, Glare, and A Cold Space Between, each
showcasing the band’s evolution into a darker, heavier sonic
identity. A deeply personal and hard-hitting project, The Sweet
Suffering chronicles emotional resilience, anxiety, the art of
letting go, and love. For Closure, this release is more than just a
debut — it’s a defining moment and the beginning of a powerful new
chapter.
Riding the momentum of that release, Closure have recently been
announced as part of the annual music extravaganza BigSound, which
will again be held in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley from September 2
to 5. HEAVY caught up with Closure vocalist Lucy May to discuss
BigSound and how Closure got to be there.
We also asked her what Closure hopes to get out of the
experience.
"I think just a new experience, definitely," she measured, "and
hopefully meeting some people that we haven't had the opportunity
to meet before. I feel like, being in a heavier band it's obviously
a really tight-knit community, so I think meeting other people
obviously… we're self-managed at the moment so we don't have a
manager, so I think that would be really something that would be a
massive thing if we could maybe connect with some people and have a
conversation about that, but honestly just getting out there and
supporting people."
In the full interview, the discussion covered the musical evolution
of Closure from pop punk to post-hardcore, including their debut EP
The Sweet Suffering and the DIY production approach for their
latest release. We also talked about upcoming performances,
networking opportunities at music events, and the importance of
strategic industry connections, while Lucy shared insights about
their venue plans and plans for future releases and tours.
We spoke about the stylistic changes within their music and how
they plan to integrate new music into future setlists, the
importance of BigSound to emerging Australian artists and
more.
