RVG (an acronym of Romy Vager Group) are an Australian rock band from Melbourne, Victoria, formed in 2015.[1] The band's current line-up is composed of Romy Vager on vocals and lead guitar, rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Reuben Bloxham, bassist Isabele Wallace and drummer Marc Nolte. Original bassist Angus Bell was part of the band from its inception until 2019, being replaced briefly by Siahn Davis before Wallace joined as a permanent fixture later that year.

RVG have released three studio albums to date: A Quality of Mercy (2017), Feral (2020) and Brain Worms (2023). The band's blend of indie rock and post-punk has found considerable critical acclaim within Australia; Junkee has described RVG as "one of Australia’s best bands",[2] while The Guardian has described Vager herself as "one of [Australia's] most underrated songwriters".[3]
