Max Carr is an Australian singer-songwriter and frontman of Profannity, whose music blends raw blues, pub rock, and lived experience. As both a solo artist and the driving force behind Wollongong band Profannity, his sound is built on unfiltered storytelling, gritty grooves, and a deep connection to live music.
Originally starting as a stripped-back acoustic project, Max's music evolved into Profannity-a hard-hitting rock/grunge outfit featuring Wilson Featherstone (drums), Fergus Bolack (bass), and Reece Thurkettle (guitar). Known for their energetic live shows and powerful sound, the band has become a standout in the Illawarra scene, regularly playing packed rooms across local venues.
Profannity have released a string of singles including \"Flogged,\" \"Useless C*nt,\" and \"Eye of the Loaded Gun,\" with their debut record Such Is Life on the way. They've also gained recognition through competitions like New Blood Wednesdays and the Good Things Festival band competition, continuing to build momentum within Australia's grassroots rock community.
Alongside the band, Max has returned to releasing music under his own name-coming full circle back to his blues-driven roots. His solo work leans into a more stripped-back, intimate style, shaped by years of gigging and a voice that carries both grit and honesty.
After leaving school to focus on songwriting. Max completed a Diploma of Music at TAFE and is now studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Music) at the University of Wollongong-reflecting his ongoing dedication to his craft.
Whether performing solo or with Profannity. Max Carr's music is grounded in real stories, real energy, and the kind of presence that stays with you long after the show ends.
