After wowing Los Angeles with their triumphant progressive indie rock, Sydney youngsters Monks Of Mellonwah look to new horizons.

For a quartet with not much name-recognition in Australia, Monks Of Mellonwah have been killing it in the US, working with Grammy-winning producers, getting on college radio, garnering rave reviews, and winning an Artists In Music Award on the back of their majestic second EP Neurogenesis.

We speak to Will and Joe from the band about shedding their bluesy beginnings, their OS success, assembling these polished and emotive songs, what ‘neurogenesis’ actually means, their albums plans, and more.
