History

2020-present: Formation and Foreign Language

Prior to 1300, several of the members were in another collective called Aisleland. They met at a listening party for an EP by Yura.[4][1]

The group released their debut single "Brr" in January 2021, which was followed by "No Caller ID" and "Smashmouth" in the same year.[5]

They released their debut studio album, Foreign Language in April 2022. In a positive review,NME's David James Young said "1300 have come out of the gate with a project that should propel them beyond their immediate bubble of Australian hip-hop – and possibly into the list of Australian artists who've put out the best music of 2022."[3]
