"The Melancholiac might be Meanjin's newest kids on the block, but they are no strangers to producing a ferocious, mosh-ready anthem"
- LivewireAU
An amalgamation of UK progressive rock and Aussie garage punk, this young Brisbane quadrio passionately combine mesmerising musicianship with incomparable stage presence. Inspired by all the corners that 2000's alternative rock had to offer - Silverchair, TOOL, Incubus, Muse - The Melancholiac aim to make every show one to remember. Vicious tones and guttural hooks are blended amongst meticulous polyrhythms and interludes, with vocal melodies which refuse to leave listeners' brains as the cherry on top.
Their entrance into the local scene blasted The Melancholiac into stardom, with the band managing to sell out their premiere show in 2021, debut single 'Stop Right There' receiving features from TheMusic, 4ZZZ Radio, The Emerge Radio Show, and LivewireAU, and their career history seeing the group open for the likes of DZ Deathrays, VOIID, Homebrand, and Special Features, to name a few.
