Adelaide-based alternative-rock band Mad Cactus new single "Big Game" and debut EP "Thirteen Dogs"

Adelaide-based  alternative-rock  band  Mad  Cactus  have  recently  unveiled  their  new  single  ‘Big  Game’, lifted  from their  debut  eight-track  LP  ‘Thirteen  Dogs', recorded  and  produced  by  Dan  Murtaghat of Debasement  Studios, Melbourne.

‘Big  Game’  takes  cues  from  the  likes  of  the  groups  staple  influences  Royal  Blood, The  Black  Keys and  SoundGarden.  Opening  with  compelling  melodic  piano  and  the  endearing  vocals  of  front-man  Tim  Mellonie,  the  song  builds  into  a  gradual  crescendo  of  brooding  guitars  and  drums,  before  hitting  its  monstrous  anthemic  chorus.
  



Mellonie  describes  the  motivation  behind  the  track:“Wildlife  conservation  is  something  I’m  very  passionate  about  and  consumes  a  huge  chunk  of  my  life  outside  of  Mad  Cactus.  As  a  Keeper  working  at  one  of  Australia’s  largest  zoological  parks,  a  strong  conservation  message  was  bound  to  come  through  somewhere  in  the  music.Throughout  my  career,  I’ve  had  the  unique  opportunity  to  work  closely  with  a  range  of  rare  and  endangered  species  including  the  Southern  White  Rhino.  I  wanted  to  do  something  a  little  different  with  our  song  Big  Game.  I  wanted  to  help  raise  awareness  regarding  the  plight  of  wild  rhinoceros  and  exposesome  of  the  brutality  that  comes  with  the  trade  of  rhino  horn.”

Since  their  inception  in  late-2014,  Mad  Cactus  have  released  their  debut  single  ‘Dream  Killer’that  earned  a  nomination  for  ‘Best  Heavy  Act’  by  the  South  Australian  Music  Awards(2016).  The  group  have  also  become  a  mainstay  on  the  local  Adelaide  scene  playing  a  slew  of  gigs  and  building  a  loyal  following.

Melbourne grunge/pop band Shorts debut EP release "Something Else"

Shorts are a grunge/pop band from Melbourne whose influences include Weezer, Happy Diving, Joyce Manor and Yuck.

They recently recorded their debut EP 'Something Else' with engineer, producer and mix lord Aaron Dobos whose previous work includes The Avalanches, 30 Seconds to Mars and Britney Spears.

Shorts started way back in 2013 when Guitarist Shayne McNeill and vocalist Lachlan Bradford traveled through the states in a worn out, broken down dodge ram. Armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar, the two man band started writing songs inspired by their experience on the road.


Shorts eventually came to formation when long time friend, guitarist/bassist/genius Armarin Saengsri, joined the band in late 2016. Adding some polish and structure Shorts went into the studio to record their debut EP 'Something Else' with producer, engineer and mix lord Aaron Dobos. After laying down the drums for the EP, Mitchell Casey joined the band and as they say, the rest is history.

The first single released was 'Zyka' in April. Check it out on YouTube HERE.

Sun Dogs has just been released and is also now on YouTube:
