Harder And Harder

Australian punk legends The Meanies have dug into their vault and pulled out a long-lost gem. Their new single Shutdown, recorded a quarter of a century ago, finally sees daylight today, marking a rare release from one of Melbourne's most enduring and beloved punk acts.

Fred again.. has officially kicked off a new chapter in his groundbreaking USB album series with the release of ‘you’re a star’, a collaboration with Melbourne’s own Amyl & The Sniffers. The track unites two of the most high-energy acts in modern music, the London-born producer known for his genre-defying electronic sound and the Australian punk band fronted by the unapologetically fierce Amy Taylor.

Melbourne's rising punk/metalcore outfit Melrose Avenue have unleashed their latest single Inside Your Mind, a hard-hitting anthem out now via Hopeless Records. The track, darkly melodic yet undeniably aggressive, signals the band's next leap forward as they sharpen their sound and dig into more vulnerable lyrical territory.

Australian punk veterans The Meanies are set to unleash a slice of lost history. Their long-buried track Shutdown, recorded a quarter of a century ago, will finally see the light of day on October 9. To mark the release, the Melbourne legends will hit the road for a short, sharp run of dates that revisits their roots in sweaty pubs and iconic venues.
