The Melancholiac

Loud is the word for The Melancholiac. This Brisbane four-piece mixes UK progressive rock with Australian garage punk, which means heavy tones and big hooks sitting on top of tricky polyrhythms and instrumental interludes. The vocal melodies stick in your head, and the members have an easy chemistry on stage. Expect plenty of headbanging. A band like this belongs at a pub gig or a party full of people who like their rock heavy and a bit complicated.
