History
2020âpresent: 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 â and possibly into the list of Australian artists who've put out the best music of 2022."[3]
On 10 February 2023, the group released the mix tape <3 (pronounced "less than three").[6]
On 1 February 2024, the group announced the release of their second mixtape, George, under London-based label Eastern Margins and released the single "Ape Sh*t".[7]
On June 6, 2025, the group released their new single "BANGALANG" under their new label and management company, Jaded.
